exchanging, sharing experience and techniques
of citrus planting…
Visiting Mr. Bui Van Dung's family in Vo
village, the veteran members pioneered to plant citrus trees in An Nghia
commune since 2014. At present, the area of citrus trees of Mr. Dung's family
has extended to 2 hectares, of which includes 850 original orange trees with
variety, such as: yellow, V2, Canh and 150 green grapefruit trees. In 2017, the
oranges were harvested for fortune tellers; Mr. Dung exported 20 tonnes of
fruit. The market price ranged from 13,000 to 20,000 VND depending on the types
of fruit. Thereby, his family earned over 300 million VND. Traders buying
products are mainly from provinces of Thanh Hoa, Ninh Binh, Nam Dinh, etc. In
the season of 2018, the orange garden of Mr. Dung will give the main crop; the
output is expected to be 2-3 times higher.
Currently, in order to support and assist
members who wish to develop the citrus planting model, the Veteran Association
of the commune have coordinated with other departments, organizations and mass
organizations to organize thematic workshops. This helps create a useful
playground for members to exchange information and share their citrus planting
experiences. In addition, the Veteran Association of the commune has
facilitated 10 members to access the capital from the District Social Policy
Bank with the loan amount as regulated.
Mr. Bui Van Dang, the Chairman of the Veteran
Association of the commune, said: "In the coming time, the Veteran
Association of the commune continues to propagate and mobilize officials and
members to bring into full play the effectiveness of the citrus planting
model.we expect that all the branches, organizations, unions to support capital
sources, science and technology, we are also looking for business associates to
link for product consumption. Thereby, this can contribute to increasing the
income for members, reducing the rate of poor households, promoting the local
socio-economic development.
