Farmers in Cao Phong district have been harvesting On Chau mandarins, marking the start of the citrus fruit season in the area.
The harvest began in late August, and this year’s crop is
reported to be bountiful with good quality fruit. Farmers are now busy picking
mandarins to meet increasing demand ahead of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Ngoc Anh garden, located in Cao Phong town, has been selling mandarins since
August 25, with prices ranging from 20,000 VND (0.81 USD) to 25,000 (1 USD) per
kilogram. Thanks to the early harvest, many gardens avoided damage from Typhoon
Yagi.
On Chau mandarins are sold not only on local markets but also in other northern
localities like Hanoi, Ninh Binh, and Hai Phong. Orders are easily placed via
social media, and products are shipped to consumers through local
transportation services.
Cao Phong’s 3T Farm Cooperative has also begun harvesting its On Chau
mandarins, with no damage reported from the recent storm. The cooperative
follows VietGAP standards to ensure quality, leading to higher prices compared
to other local producers. Their mandarins are sorted, labeled, and packaged
carefully before delivering to customers, with the price up 5,000 USD per
kilogram compared to last year.
In local markets, On Chau mandarins have been available since late August, and
while the total planting area has decreased due to farmers replanting orange
trees, the demand for mandarins remains high. Prices range from 16,000 VND to
30,000 VND per kilogram, depending on size and quality. The harvest season of
On Chau mandarin is short, lasting about two months, with most farmers expected
to finish harvesting by the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Local authorities confirm that the crop has not been affected by the recent
typhoon, and the quality and prices of this year’s harvest remain stable.
