The An Sinh District in Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam, has achieved a record-breaking harvest of Atlantic potatoes, marking a major milestone in its 2025–2030 strategy for high-quality agricultural development. By utilizing fallow land after the rice harvest, local farmers have significantly increased productivity, with average yields rising from 5 centners per acre last winter to 8 centners this season, and reaching up to 1 ton per acre on the best plots. Total output for the 2025 winter crop is expected to hit nearly 1,700 tons—a 400-ton increase from 2024. The quality is equally impressive, with a rejection rate of only 15–20%. Farmers like Ms. Dang Thi Thuy have expressed delight, noting that incomes have grown substantially thanks to both higher yields and better prices.
A key driver of this success is the partnership with South Korea’s Orion Vina Food Company, which guarantees purchase of the harvest at 8,600 VND per kilogram—300 VND higher than last year—with an annual consumption volume of up to 62,000 tons. This has boosted profit per hectare to an estimated 120–125 million VND, far exceeding previous years. Looking ahead, An Sinh is collaborating with the Institute of Agricultural Biology and Technology to trial new high-yield potato varieties on five hectares in Binh Son Dong, aiming to select one or two promising Vietnamese varieties for future export production. With cultivation area expanding from 124 hectares in 2024 to 160 hectares in 2025, An Sinh is steadily building a modern, sustainable agricultural hub that strengthens Quang Ninh Province’s position in key agricultural products and lays the groundwork for high-tech farming initiatives.
