Grown for over 200 years, the Luc Yen orange is famous for its thick yellow peel and sweet juice.
There are 645 households cultivating the fruit trees on a total area of 308.8 hectares across 18 out of 24 communes in the Luc Yen district.
The district produces between 2,000 and 2,500 tons of orange on an annual basis, which brings an average revenue of up to VND 40 million (USD 1,760) per hectare.
The district plans to expand its orange plantation to 500 hectares by 2020.
