Grapes were introduced to Ninh Thuan province, in Vietnam, during the 1960s. The area has a hot, dry climate and sandy soil, making it an ideal place for grape cultivation. As a result, grapes have become a unique agricultural product in the region.
Ninh Thuan grapes have been recognized for their geographical indication by the National Office of Intellectual Property. This certification is a testament to the unique characteristics of these grapes, which are grown in the Ninh Thuan province of Vietnam, and are highly sought-after for their distinctive flavor and aroma. The certification is a significant milestone for the local farmers, who are now able to benefit from the increased demand for their produce.
This year, the province is planning to significantly expand its grape cultivation area to 1,115 hectares and provide the market with over 27,600 tonnes of fresh grapes. With this expansion, the province expects to create more agricultural job opportunities and boost its grape production. Furthermore, this increase in grape production is expected to help the province meet the growing demand for fresh grapes from consumers.
