Overview
Vinh Long is a renowned fruit-producing area of the Mekong Delta, especially known as a source of longan, rambutan, and durian. Though small in area, it practices intensive fruit cultivation and is a densely populated rural region. Agritourism, such as homestays and orchard tours, also thrives.
Features of agriculture
Fruit cultivation is the center of agriculture, with longan (about 8,000 ha), rambutan, durian, pomelo, and others grown. Rice is also farmed, but in recent years the shift to more profitable fruit trees has advanced. The production of farmed fish (pangasius, tilapia) is also important.
