(HBO) – Bui Van Tinh, Party Central Committee member and Secretary of the Party Committee of Hoa Binh province, made a field trip to sachi farms in Khang and Bua Lay hamlets, Dich Giao commune, Tan Lac district on November 14.

All parts of sachi (scientifically known as Plukenetia volubilis), including nuts, trunk, leaves and roots, can be used to make food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. In April 2017, with the support of INCA Vietnam JSC, households in Bua Lay hamlet, Dich Giao commune, planted sachi trees on 1.2 hectares of land on a pilot basis. One year later, they harvested nearly 1.3 tonnes of dried sachi nuts per ha, earning some 80 million VND.

 Each ha of sachi produces from 1-1.3 tonnes of dried nuts in the first crop, and over 3 tonnes from the third crop. Annual profit is estimated at an average 150-200 million Vietnam dong. Sachi’s advantage lies in the long duration of nut harvesting which lasts for between 12 and 15 years. Sachi is ready for harvest eight months after it is planted. The tree suits different types of soil.

 INCA Vietnam has supplied sachi saplings to local farmers and sent technicians to guide them in how to cultivate and harvest sachi. Of note, the company buys all products for farmers. The trial cultivation in Tam Lac district has showed that sachi suits the local climate and soil.

 Bui Van Tinh, Party Central Committee member and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, visits a sachi farm of INCA Vietnam in Khang hamlet, Dich Giao commune, Tan Lac district.

INCA Vietnam aims to form a concentrated material zone of 500 ha of sachi in Tan Lac district, along with building a factory to ensure on-the-sport processing.

 Tan Lac district will work to ensure the formation of the area when INCA Vietnam makes legal commitments to buy all products for local farmers.

 On this occasion, Tinh presented a set of television to the cultural house of Khang hamlet./.
