Today, at the fair the commune organizes a
job transaction floor, so the customers order a lot. From the early morning,
her whole family focused on cutting off the tops of the chayote trees. A lot
more other customers wanted to buy tops
of the chayote trees but there were not any left. Therefore she had to collect
tops of the chayote trees from a few families. Although customers ordered a lot,
she still carefully cut each of the green tops of vegetables, which is good for
customers. Ms. Tuy said: The entire area of the chayote trees has never been
sold in the retail market. For many years, customers have come to the gảden to buy them.

belonged to one of the poor households. The economy depended on growing rice,
corn and raising a few chicken. Since the commune changed the structure of
crops from poor tree planting into growing chayote trees.”Ms. Tuyet said that

they have been growing well without any care for many years. Thanks to the
