Grapes are a highly valued staple crop in Ninh Thuan, which were first introduced to the province in 1960 and test-planted by the South-Central Centre for Agricultural Technical Research based in Ninh Son district. Commercial production began in the 1980s.

Ninh Thuan is now home to over 1,200 ha of grapes and nearly 200 facilities processing grape products such as wine, jam, and honey.

Grapes make up about 20 percent of the total production value of the local cultivation sector, according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

In 2012, Ninh Thuan’s grape varieties were granted geographical indication (GI) certification by the National Office of Intellectual Property.

In early 2019, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development’s plant cultivation department recognized Ninh Thuan province’s NH01-152 as a new grape variety and allowed the province to grow it on a trial basis before beginning commercial cultivation, according to VNA.
