The garden of pink aromatic bananas of Mr.
Bui Van Thuy, Bai village, Kim Binh commune (Kim Boi) has brought the income of
hundreds of millions of dongs every year.
We visited Mr. Thuy's banana garden just in
time it was being harvested to sell. The banana crop this year was bumper. The
bunches included beautiful and big bananas with eye-catching colors. The traders
have bought 2,000 bunches of bananas with a price of 100,000 VND a bunch. After
deducting the cost of fertilizer, seed, and care, he planned to get over 100
million VND.
Mr. Thuy says that the application of
science and technology into production has helped to significantly improve the
quality, the crop productivity, reduce the costs and bring higher profits. In
the near future, he plans to continue expanding the banana gardens, building
the models according to VietGAP standards, preliminary processing and packing
right in the garden to bring higher economic efficiency. According to his
estimation, if he plants bananas under VietGAP process, the profit will not
less than 150 million VND a hectare.
The demand of the market for this product
is large, especially the clean banana products without using chemicals and
pesticides. According to Mr. Thuy, the soil quality in the locality and some
surrounding areas are suitable for the pink aromatic bananas with high quality
and typical flavour. At the same time, the abundant water resource is an
important factor to help the model develop sustainably. To replicate the model,
put the banana trees into one of the key economic development directions,
besides the existing natural conditions, it is necessary to bring science and
technology into production and to develop towards the clean agriculture. It is
necessary to produce under the chain of value from production to consumption to
bring the highest profit, gradually building a brand of clean products with the
reputation in the market.
