Joining the delegation were Nguyen Viet Cuong, Vice Chairman of the Son La provincial People's Council, and representatives of several provincial departments and agencies.

The delegation visited a Navel orange-growing model in Van Son ward, which combines fruit and seedling sales with offering a popular check-in destination, generating significant economic returns.

In Thao Nguyen ward, the delegation surveyed Vinatea Moc Chau's tea production model based on a value chain and visited Moc Chau Tea Village. They were briefed on the development of the Moc Chau tea brand, tea production and processing procedures, and the potential for combining agricultural production with experiential tourism.

The delegation then visited the Dairy Farm of Moc Chau Dairy Cattle Breeding Joint Stock Company in Thao Nguyen ward. Members learned about dairy farming processes, the application of science and technology in herd management, cattle care and milk production, as well as plans to modernise the dairy industry in association with product processing and distribution.

Following the visits, Phoikham praised Son La's dynamism, creativeness and effectiveness in developing high-tech and clean agriculture linked to ecotourism.

He expressed his hope that Son La would continue to strengthen exchanges and share practical experience, while supporting the transfer of scientific and technological advances and crop varieties to help localities in Xaysomboun apply them effectively. These efforts, he said, would further strengthen the special friendship and solidarity between the two provinces.

Earlier, the Xaysomboun delegation, together with those from Xieng Khouang and Houaphanh provinces, visited a high-quality custard apple cultivation model operated by Me Lech Cooperative in Mai Son commune./.
