Son La province currently has around 14,550 hectares of plum cultivation, with an estimated output of about 100,000 tonnes. By early May 2026, about 35,000 tonnes of plums and apricots had been sold, generating an estimated value of 525 billion VND (19.92 million USD).

The products are carefully selected, processed and ensured to meet food safety standards before being served to passengers.
