Famers in Dich Giao commune, Tan Lac district collect melon.

Along with big wax gourd and pumpkin growing areas such as Tan Lac, Yen Thuy and Lac Son, areas that grow melons of different kinds like Kim Boi and Mai Chau are at the end of harvesting season, with good consumption.

Regarding production and consumption in the spring crops, Nguyen Hong Yen, head of the provincial cultivation and plant protection sub-department, said that production is quite good, and the weather is favourable for harvesting. The structure of crops continues to be converted to meet market demands, with the focus on crops that produce high economic values such as wax gourd, pumpkin, water melon and cucumber. Therefore, concentrated production areas have been formed, thus bringing about high income for locals, such as melon growing areas in Kim Boi, Mai Chau, Yen Thuy, Lac Thuy and Tan Lac districts.

Prices of agricultural products are 20-30 percent higher than those of previous years. The productivity of cucurbits is estimated at 25 tonnes per hectare, melons at 18-20 tonnes a hectare, vegetables at 12-18 tonnes a hectare. In terms of value, each hectare of wax gourd and melons can bring about 180-220 million VND. To date, about 1,500 hectares out of 5,400 hectares of crops in the province are in harvesting season.

Local farm produce enjoys stability in terms of productivity, quality and consumption. A half volume of agricultural products is sold in the province, and the remaining is sold in other localities. The good consumption of the products has helped locals feel secured in production./.
