Many households in Lo Son commune (Tan Lac)
overcame step by step from poverty thanks to the cultivation of high economic
value crops.
Thanks to that change, the area of growing grapefruit of Lo Son commune has increased from more than 1 hectare planted in 2014 to 45.5 hectares up to now. Grapefruit is found in most of the hamlets, mainly focused in villages of Cung, Tan Son, Doi, Doi Moi and Be. From the effective achievements, at present, Lo Son continues to direct the village to propagate and mobilize people for actively converting the structure of plants, bringing the high economic value trees such as grapefruits, logans, etc. into planting orientation to replace inefficient plants.
Together with Resolution No 10-NQ / HU, the
implementation of Resolution No 12-NQ / HU of Tan Lac District Committee on
"bringing annual crops into inefficient land of rice cultivation" in
Lo Son has achieved some remarkable results. Accordingly, the whole commune has
205 hectares of rice cultivation land, the area of paddy rice is about 100
hectares, the water crop is about 105 hectares, the average productivity is
from 45 to 50 quintals / hectare, in which, the amount of land which lacks
water and produces inefficiently accounts for about 40%.
From the original 250 hectares of paddy land,
up to now, the area of paddy land in the commune has decreased to about 100
hectares. The whole area of inefficient rice land was shifted to high economic
value trees such as bitter melons, pumpkins, melons, sugarcanes and vegetables,
which are produced in the direction of safety, etc. Therefore, the value on the
same area of cultivation reached from 150 to 180 million in a hectare per one
crop, many times higher than the rice cultivation.
Ms. Bui Thi Thuy from Nghia 1 village, Lo Son
commune said: Previously, my family had 2,000m2 of rice cultivation. After
being propagated and mobilized by the commune, village, my family converted
1,000 m2 to grow bitter melon for seeds and various vegetables. In fact, the
cultivation of crops gives the value 4-5 times higher than that of rice.
like Ms. Thuy's family, Ms. Bui Thi Hoa's
family in Chieng village has converted most of their rice land into annual
crops. Thanks to that, from being a poor household, Ms. Hoa's family has
stepped up to escape poverty and stabilize their life.
