Quang Dien farmers transition from rice to pennywort cultivation

In Quang Dien, Hue, local farmers have successfully transitioned from low-yield rice cultivation to large-scale pennywort production. By adopting VietGAP standards, the region has established itself as a major producer of clean agricultural products.

Since 2012, local authorities have supported this shift by providing technical training on proper fertilizer and pesticide use. This transition has provided stable income and employment for hundreds of workers. Beyond fresh produce, pennywort is now being processed into various OCOP (One Commune, One Product) value-added goods, creating opportunities for agricultural tourism tied to local identity.
