People in Tan Vinh commune (Luong Son) are
harvesting and sorting out types of passions, products which are being ensured
for consumption by VnMart Hanoi supermarkets.
Ms. Bach Thi Phuc, a technical staff at the
safety passion hill of Tan Vinh commune shared: passion trees are easily
adaptable to the local soil and climate, and less pestilent. The planting time
lasts 5 to 6 months. The biggest advantage of the passion tree is its rapid
growth, which is only about 6 months to have flowers, and fruit, the high yield
can be achieved in the first crop, and they are easy to be grown and
fertilized. While being compared to other crops such as oranges, pomelos, they
will take at least 3-4 years to be harvested. Therefore, the passion growers
can get back their capital quickly.
By this time, the area of passion plantation
has expanded to over 3 hectares of Mr. Tran Van Hieu in Rut village can be
harvested about 1 quintal fruit every day. On average, each lemon tree
harvested 60-70 fruits per one, and more than 100 fruits per one with good
care. With a selling price of VND 20,000 - 30,000 / kg, this is a good source
of income for the family.
With the production following VietGap
standard, they cannot use chemical drugs, and they need applying the manual
methods of cultivation, such as using grass cutters, cutting branches, old
leaves to develop plants and especially the products have no preservatives. As
a result, the passion products of Tan Vinh commune in particular and Luong Son
district in general have a place in the market and being contracted to buy
products by VinMart supermarkets in Hanoi.
In order to meet the increasing demand of
consumers, in the coming time, Tan Vinh commune will set up production groups
and production teams to link up the chain to provide many quality passion
products before being sold to the market.
Vice Chairman of the Commune People's
Committee Mr. Hoang Anh Vuong said: Compared with other kinds of crops, passion
trees bring high economic value per unit of cultivation. Average of 1 hectare
of passion can bring out the yield of 35-40 tons of fruit, the profit can reach
at 200 million VND / hectare.
