It can be affirmed that crassnas can bring a huge amount of potentiality and benefit to Ha Tinh, which helps the province call for investment cooperation and proceed to build the brand name of Ha Tinh Agarwood.
Vice chairman of the provincial People’s Committee suggested that the Korea Roar Scabies Association should assign specialists to support in opening new areas of raw materials of clean high-quality agarwood with closed-loop producing process, from selecting seeds, breeding crassna, gathering to producing At first , a model of industrializing production can be piloted in Phuc Trach Commune (Huong Khe), aiming to train local people for crafting agarwood, then to set up craft villages.
At the meeting, the President of Korean Agarwood Association, Jung Kwang Ho said, the association will proceed step by step in the process of cooperation to achieve the best results. In 2015, the Association took samples of Vietnamese agarwood for studying. The result demonstrated that Vietnamese agarwood was one of the best in the world.
This is the first time, Ha Tinh has been shared the achievements of agarwood studies with by Korea. Hopefully, the meeting will open a new direction for the development of clean high-quality agarwood production in Ha Tinh.
