The
fruit orchard of the family of Mr. Nguyen Dinh Tuan (left) in Doi 2 village;
Bao Hieu commune (Yen Thuy) makes profits of over 2 billion dongs per year.
We came to the family of Mr. Nguyen Dinh Tuan in Doi 2 Village,
the pioneer planting citrus in the area. At present, the garden area of Mr.
Tuan's family is expanded to over 17 hectares, of which 7 hectares are in the
harvest period. Major citrus fruits are Canh Orange, V2 Orange, many kinds of
grapefruit, etc. In the season of 2016-2017, Tuan's family sold 70 tonnes of
oranges to the market at the average price of 20,000 dongs per kg, 10,000
grapefruit with the price from 14,000 to 20,000 dongs per one. After deducting
all the expenses, Mr. Tuan earned over 2 billion. Mr. Tuan also creates regular
jobs for 15 laborers with an income of 4- 5 million VND / person depending on
the tasks.
Sharing with us, Mr. Tuan said: "Bao Hieu is a flat land with
suitable climate and soil for citrus planting. In addition, the Ho Chi Minh
axis road runs through the commune to create favorable conditions for traders
to buy and transport goods easily. Therefore, my family has boldly planted
citrus fruit; so far this has brought some success.”
At present, many households in the area of Bao Hieu commune have
improved the area of mixed orchards with citrus fruits such as Canh orange, V2
orange, Tan Lac red grapefruit ... Up to now, the whole commune has expanded
the area of citrus to about 105 hectares, of which, 50 hectares are in harvest
period. Some households have large area of planting, located in Doi 2 village,
such as Nguyen Van Tung's family (4 ha), Tran Van Luu (3 ha). If there is a
good care and favorable climate, each hectare can get the average income from
500-700 million dongs.
In order to create conditions for supporting people to develop the
citrus planting model effectively, Bao Hieu commune has coordinated with
functional agencies to organize 2-3 technical training sessions, transferring
technology science and coordinating with the Bank of Society and Welfare, Bank
of Agriculture and Rural Development to provide preferential loans for more
than 30 households in the area.
Mr. Bui Xuan Thuy, Vice Chairman of Ba Hieu Commune People's
Committee, said that: thanks to the development of planting citrus, in 2017,
the per capita income of the whole commune reached 20,6 million dongs per
person, the proportion of poor households reduced to 29.54%. Currently, the
commune authorities continue to propagate and mobilize people to promote citrus
planting to increase their income. In addition, in order to create conditions
for the households to develop effectively, the commune has set up an
Agricultural Cooperative 1 with the purpose of connecting the production with
VietGap standards, linking the market for the product output. By that, the
quality of the products made by people are improved, the product yield and
output are stable.
