Abstract

This paper presents the current distribution, cultivation techniques, and genetic value of Bắc Sơn golden mandarin, a high-economic-value fruit crop in Lang Son province, Vietnam. The study reveals that Bac Son golden mandarin is mainly grown on acidic, nutrient-rich hilly land. Farmers primarily propagate the trees through branch grafting (49%) or seed sowing (37.33%). However, cultivation techniques remain limited, since majority of farmers do not apply basal fertilization or pruning, causing reduced fruit yield and quality. Regarding consumption, the majority of harvested mandarins are sold directly at farms (65.67%), with prices ranging from 15,000 to 25,000 VND/kg, and 55% of the interviewed farmers selling at 25,000 VND/kg. The study highlights a strong needed for adopting advanced agricultural techniques to enhance productivity and quality while expanding market outlets to improve profit mergins for farmers.
