The province's tea-garden area reaches about 22,000 hectares, making it one of Vietnam's leading tea-producing provinces.<\/p>\n<p>About 80 km north of Hanoi, roughly 1.5 hours by car, it is a scenic region where hillside tea gardens spread out even as industrialization advances.<\/p>\n<h2>Features of agriculture<\/h2>\n<p>Thai Nguyen tea is known for the distinctive flavor produced by the moderate elevation of the hills (100-400 m) and the frequently foggy climate. Green tea is central, and traditional hand-picking and hand-rolling methods are still practiced. In recent years, production of organic and specialty teas has also grown, and exports to international markets are expanding.<\/p>\n<p>Besides tea, rice farming, fruit trees (pomelo, lychee), and fish farming (tilapia, carp) are also carried out.<\/p>\n<h2>Main agricultural products<\/h2>\n<p>Tea (Tan Cuong tea, about 22,000 ha), rice, pomelo, lychee, farmed fish, timber and bamboo<\/p>\n<h2>Related Articles<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/vietnam-agri\/vietnam-export-ranking\/\">Top 10 ranking of Vietnam's agricultural export value<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/vietnam-agri\/vietnam-fruit-season\/\">Complete guide to the seasonal calendar of Vietnamese fruit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/vietnam-agri\/vietnam-gap-certification\/\">The Complete Guide to Vietnam's Farm-Produce Quality-Control Standards<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Reference information and source links<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ja.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%E3%82%BF%E3%82%A4%E3%82%B0%E3%82%A8%E3%83%B3%E7%9C%81\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia (Japanese) - Thai Nguyen Province<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gso.gov.vn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General Statistics Office of Vietnam (GSO)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mard.gov.vn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vietnam Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[1,94,93,87],"tags":[6,33,60],"crop_category":[267],"harvest_season":[257],"class_list":["post-960","region","type-region","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-vietnam-agri","category-north-region","category-region-info","category-tea-category","tag-vietnam","tag-organic-farming","tag-tea","crop_category-region-area","harvest_season-year-round"],"acf":{"region_name_vi":"Th\u00e1i Nguy\u00ean","region_population":1350000,"region_climate":"\u4e9c\u71b1\u5e2f\u30e2\u30f3\u30b9\u30fc\u30f3\u6c17\u5019\u3002\u5e74\u9593\u5e73\u574723\u2103\u3002\u4e18\u9675\u5730\u5e2f\u306f\u9727\u304c\u591a\u304f\u8336\u306e\u683d\u57f9\u306b\u6700\u9069\u3002"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region\/960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/region"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=960"},{"taxonomy":"crop_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/crop_category?post=960"},{"taxonomy":"harvest_season","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vietnam-agri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/harvest_season?post=960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
