Located in the land along the Day River, in recent years, Hiep Thuan commune (Phuc Tho, Hanoi) has been known as one of the major mulberry barns in the capital. Taking advantage of the nutrient rich alluvium, the mulberry gardens located here have been and are the crops that bring economic efficiency to the people of Hiep Thuan commune. This time is just the beginning of the crop, but people here are in a hurry in the season. Because at present, the selling price for traders and the retail price is at a high price. Currently, Hiep Thuan commune has planted more than 15 hectares of mulberry orchard from 5 years or more. One pole planted about 40 mulberry roots, each strawberry root harvested about 100kg fruit / crop. Mulberries appear only about 3 from 4 weeks to end the season. The ripe strawberry is red or black when ripe; It tastes soft, sour, sweet and juicy. The young leaves of the plant can be used as boiled vegetables, sautéed and cooked like other vegetables. Under the wrong strawberry branches with fruit to bow low are the farmers picking strawberries quickly and restlessly from 7:00 am to the evening, or when the traders no longer import the goods. The strawberry is small and easy to crush, so the grower has to use hand picking gently by hand. At the beginning of the season, strawberry prices are still high, retail prices are about 20,000 to 25,000 VND / kg, and wholesale prices range from 15,000 to 18,000 VND / kg. A strawberry garden owner said that the family mulberry garden has 40 roots per acre, each harvest about 400 kg of fruit on average, turnover of more than 30 million VND / sao. Currently, every day in Hiep Thuan commune people provide about 8 tons of fruit to other localities, on the occasion of the ripening of the strawberries, it can be up to 14 tons.
