A corner of To Hap town. That immensity in Khanh Son is urging people to come because now, this place is in the fruiting season. In the process of researching soil and choosing suitable crops, for more than 20 years, Khanh Son has become the “capital” of fruit trees with durian, green-skinned pomelo, rambutan, mangosteen, etc. jackfruit, oranges, tangerines… Unlike the southern provinces, the orchards are sometimes located on the isles… but Khanh Son has a mountainous terrain, so the fruit gardens create a strange appearance, so that when you come to visit it, it’s like you’re going to conquer something. something amusing. Exiting To Hap town, you will encounter many roads leading to the orchards. Each garden grows a different type of tree, vast, sometimes located in a valley, sometimes on the ground, with wavy slopes. Usually the orchards are not fenced, trees just grow and bear fruit naturally, no one steals. Visitors buy Khanh Son durian. In the fruit tree season, the whole land of Khanh Son is bustling everywhere. The rambutan trees give very sweet fruit, the green-skinned pomelo is also very sweet and it is impossible not to mention the staple tree: Khanh Son durian. Those who come to Khanh Son in the ripe fruit season will definitely go to a durian garden to see firsthand the durian trees full of fruit, eat a few pieces and buy some to take home. The price to buy durian at the garden is sometimes only half the price at the market, so some people buy up to a few dozen kilograms to give to friends. Each durian garden in Khanh Son is a few hectares wide, the land is also high and low, so it is normal to visit the garden to climb up and down. Entering the durian garden, the first thing is to visit, to be surprised to see the durian trees are very large, chit fruit. You can visit any durian garden to visit and be invited to eat durian… In May and lasts until the end of summer, Khanh Son is bustling in the season of ripe fruit.

Simple happiness In addition to green vegetables, I also grow fruit trees: green grapefruit, guava, apple and sapote. In some years, the sapote tree produces dozens of fruits, sparrows and crested birds come to eat when the fruit is ripe and sweet. The first time I was observed from above, I suddenly had an O in my mouth and an O, because I saw so many other gardens on the terrace, just like my house. And every day, my hobby is going up to the rooftop to use binoculars to look at the trees of the houses on the same street and on the opposite street. Then discovered and became acquainted with a neighbor. He raised nearly 40 bamboo chickens and planted a lot of lemongrass on… the roof of a nearby house. Garden corners on the terrace of townhouses. Photo: DINH THU HIEN – CAM NHUNG Notice that people are quite crowded on the terrace in the early morning and late afternoon. The orchids drop down, are sprayed with cool water. The gourd of a terrace with many fat fruits, surely the owner cannot eat it in time, perhaps it will be picked soon to give to friends and relatives. But the most interesting thing to mention is the dozen cherry tomato plants in the back (terrace) of the house. Green fruit, sweet fruit, red fruit like vermilion, toothpicks on the tree. The owner must have fertilized, watered and cherished so much that the tree was so wrong. Sometimes, binoculars let me see couples happily watering their plants in the early hours of the morning. And together they do some warm-up exercises on the terrace, next to the energetic vegetable garden, before the sun rises in the East. Family happiness is as simple as that. Husband and wife each day cultivate seeds and plant trees, just like how they build a home. If you don’t take care and keep it, how can you create the joy of life? So going through rainy and sunny days, trees need internal energy to sprout green and also need the care and love of the owner. Life balance place Many people think that the townhouses are cramped, where is the land for gardening? In my eyes, the terraces of townhouses are the perfect place to set up a garden. It can be the yoga floor every morning, relaxing by the surrounding plants, it can be the joy of picking clean fruits and eating organic greens. The gardens in that street are the cool green of the crowded and typical smoky city. Each beautiful garden on the terrace contains the owner’s love. Sometimes I think that’s also how the human mind responds most tenderly and lovingly, with all the unhappiness and anger around. Whenever the whole family goes on a long trip, the first thing I worry about is the life of the plants on the terrace being threatened. The guava trees are grown in styrofoam boxes but also bloom white flowers, must pay attention to watering so as not to wither because of lack of water but also not to stagnate too much water to damage the roots. When it comes to flowers, the homeowner will sometimes have to pollinate them because few bees and butterflies visit. But that green area is really the place to balance the existing life of people. Trees are like lovers who are always loyal and knowledgable. If enough love and care, the tree will be green and fresh. If left alone, the soil is dry, not fertile enough to feed the tree, of course the tree must wither. If only each townhouse had a green garden on the terrace, instead of lead gray corrugated iron roofs, the city would have a different beauty and soul, much more positive and gentle… Expanding urban green space There are no statistics on the area of ​​green space created on the area of ​​townhouses, but this area is certainly not small for urban areas with large urban residential areas like Ho Chi Minh City, especially when locals People tend to take care of their own health and prefer to live closer to nature. This can be considered as an expanded green area for urban green space, which is seriously imbalanced in the process of rapid urbanization but is inadequate in terms of planning.

Abundant green fruit Tran Xuan An, Chairman of Thang Hai Commune Farmers’ Association (Ham Tan district, Binh Thuan), seemed to think something, so he didn’t answer until I stopped the car because of the intersection in front of me. At this moment, he looked over at me, clearly: “This place is in the middle of Suoi Tu village, if running straight is Be mountain, it is also the place where a lot of rubber plantation and timber are planted. Turn left to go to Suoi Bang village, The place where Nuoc Man stream is located, across the stream is Binh Chau land (Ba Ria – Vung Tau). From this place running to Nuoc Man stream, there are 151 ha of black pepper cow leather, golden rice longan and about 132 ha of Taiwanese mango grafted with Thai mangoes. Also from this place, turn right, you will go to a place to plant citrus fruits such as grapefruit, tangerine, jackfruit … More than 150 hectares, not less “. I opened the car door and walked out with An. Around the immense green color of many kinds of fruit trees, it stretches to the eye. The air smelled of fruit and fruit around here, of the remaining forest trees, mixed with the scent of grass, the scent of named and unnamed flowers in the earth. The scent of the same green color makes people feel like they are in a very peaceful place. Tran Xuan An slowly: “Earlier, you said Suoi Tu and Suoi Bang are forest land. Exactly! In the 80’s of the twentieth century, the people of Quang Tri, from whom I lived in Thang Hai, still went to the forest of Suoi Bang, Suoi Tu. Everything changed after the government decided to set up a socio-economic project on 400 hectares of impoverished forest, in 1990, to provide accommodation and production for free migrants. decades ago. As a result, many westerners flocked to Thang Hai to buy land from people granted by the project. Many of them have experience growing fruit trees. So the new longan gardens, new intensive farming techniques, are applied here. After the label is mango, rubber. Sometimes, many families cut down longan, mango, and grow rubber because latex is priced well. If there is no tight vicious circle – planted due to the short-term devaluation and profitability, the area of ​​fruit trees of all kinds of Thang Hai must be over 1,000 hectares, not just 670 hectares, of which more than 500 hectares for harvest. like nowadays. Mr. Vo Van Sot in a 5-hectare avocado orchard in Suoi Bang village Nearly drunk, far away, remember I am in Thang Hai, the most southern locality in Binh Thuan province. This place was still a poor land 20 years ago. There was no restaurant along the commune more than 10 km. People on the road had to squeeze their stomachs, trying to run across Nuoc Man stream, to Binh Chau to buy rice. Some year of my childhood, this place is still primitive forest. There is a natural North – South road running through. Occasionally a few people walk, u bring loneliness because of the four bureaucratic, wild. This is the path that Nguyen Thong, when he held the position of a monastic academy during the Tu Duc dynasty, during his trip from Long Thanh to Phuoc Tuy (Ba Ria), to Binh Thuan expressed exclamation: “Where do you call? ? / In the evening, the voice is more melancholic / The customer is tired and wants to rest / Desperate in the deep woods! / The side of the road is hungry, / The piece of coat is dewdrops “. Luckily, on this trip I met An. Just over 50 years old, but An has more than 30 years working as a farmer, then an agricultural worker, so he has the knowledge of a local earthquake. In the whole commune, there are 1,510 households and 800 households specializing in farming. Thang Hai has 6,078 people, most of whom stick to their whole life with fruit trees, emulate creativity, turn the locality into a fruit tree area of ​​Ham Tan. Now, talking about fruit trees in Binh Thuan is Thang Hai, referring to the Thang Hai yellow rice boat label that is certified by the Department of Intellectual Property of the geographical indication. In the middle of a canoe garden in Thang Hai Every year, before the Lunar New Year and 4 months later, Thang Hai is the season of Thai grafted Taiwanese mango, Hoa Loc mango, avocado off-season. May and June are tangerine season. Is there any place in Binh Thuan where there are tangerines and fruits that are as big as a small ball, thin and light when ripe, and juicy? This mandarin, Binh Chau’s daughter on the other side of the river often comes to buy, saying that squeezing water is healthy and bright. July to October is the season of longan, golden rice, longan pepper cow skin. This is the time at Suoi Bang everywhere, there is a bright white color of the net against the bat eating longan; The season of howling birds, red-headed red-beaked redbirds fly back from Be mountain, the archipelago all day on the broad canopy longan trees, spread out like a giant parachute. This is the season when Suoi Bang girls’ flesh is always incubated in a passionate aroma, when near, they can get drunk, they will remember when going far away, making truck drivers aged 19 and 20 go to Suoi Bang to eat food, keep lingering. don’t want to go home. November of the calendar year onwards, the scent of longan still lingers in the leftover gardens, making the girls even more awake, flinching under the thin blanket, while outside the bat has not stopped pulling her flock. , looking all night. After November is the early Thai jackfruit season. Thai jackfruit runs near the street market as La Gi, Ham Tan. After this time, when Tet comes, there are green skin pomelo. Mr. Tran Xuan An, Chairman of Thang Hai Commune Farmers Association, in his green skin pomelo garden I asked: “Do garden owners here focus on green – clean products?”. An replied softly: “Nearly 100% of garden owners aim for quality and safety for consumers. They should eat it or not, thanks to that factor.” Then An determinedly dragged me in to meet Vu Cong Hoan. Hoan is a garden owner, from the North. Six years ago, Hoan came to Thang Hai, heard stories of gardening and was born eager, so he invested in gardening, although his wife advised to open a luxury hotel that was both comfortable and not far away. “Buying 13 hectares of land, I block streams, build dams to get water. Design a sprinkler system; use a large amount of organic fertilizer to improve the soil before thinking about growing green skin grapefruit” – Hoan said. The Hoan house is quiet and spacious in the middle of the pomelo garden. The blue-skinned grapefruits at the end of the crop were the size of a ball, swinging just a few dozen feet from where I was sitting. Hoan said there are 9 ha of green skin pomelo with 3,600 trees and 4 ha of longan in the garden. On average, each pomelo tree gives 30 fruits, each fruit is about 2.2 kg, the average price is 35,000 VND / kg; each tree collected over 2.5 million dong, or nearly 900 million dong / ha. Hoan does not use inorganic fertilizers, so no matter how strict the consumer is, he can still buy all the grapefruit in his garden. “Last New Year, my grapefruit gave out any vehicle that ran out of cars. So much so that, when I no longer sell, I spend some of the fruit delivered to a center to export agricultural products to Europe because they have signed off the contract. traders pulled the whole group into the garden “. Eyes see headphones The last thing on the road is about a bit economical color scheme. Tran Xuan An told Thang Hai that in the beginning of 2021, there were only 35 poor households out of a total of 1,510 households. Average people’s income is nearly 40 million VND / person / year. Can not forget that Thang Hai is from a forested area, people live destitute, lack before and after, change all jobs in the year, not to mention a large number of children divorced and divorced, looking for jobs in Ho Chi Minh City. It seems that thanks to the change of cultivars, towards plants suitable to the soil, associated with the consumption market, Thang Hai has become a production place of agricultural products, typically the golden rice variety. has been present in major supermarkets. Now, back to Thang Hai is back to the estate of 5-20 ha. About 50% of Thang Hai people today are farmers in their own fields and gardens, the next day they can be workers of the farms with working days of 300,000-350,000 VND / day. The way to go up of Thang Hai, with a few dozen billionaires originating from farmers, typically Ha Thanh Chanh, Vo Van Sot … earning a few billion dong of goods / year, shows the strength of a countryside, as well as the the acumen and determination of the commune leaders. Tran Xuan An also told me that if possible, in April, the mango season, go back to Thang Hai to see and hear how traders come here to buy goods. I promised An that he would stop by because he wanted to learn about the retired pilot, how to build streams and dams to water 13 hectares of his crops during the sunny months.

The locality at the forefront of the movement towards high-tech agriculture in Binh Dinh is the midland district of Hoai An. According to Mr. Vo Duy Tin, Deputy Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Hoai An District, there are 22 agricultural cooperatives in the district, of which 16 have transformed and operated under the Law on Cooperatives in 2012 and 6 specialized cooperatives. New agriculture is established in 2020. La’sfarm High-Tech Cooperative is one of the first units in Binh Dinh to apply high-tech vegetable production. Photo: Vu Dinh Thung. Since 2019, An Tin Agriculture Cooperative (Hoai An District) has pioneered clean rice production. The cooperative was the first unit of Binh Dinh to grow high-quality rice in an organic way. According to Mr. Bui Long Xuan, Director of An Tin Agricultural Cooperative, in the winter-spring crop 2020-2021, the cooperative produces 2.5 hectares of high-quality rice following the process of no chemical fertilizers, no pesticides, and only using organic fertilizers and microbiological fertilizers to create clean rice products. Currently, the cooperative’s organic rice has been certified, has its own packaging and labels. Initially, the cooperative sold organic rice at the price of 20,000 VND / kg and was well received by the provincial market. “In the coming summer-autumn crop of 2021, we will multiply the area of ​​high-quality organic rice production to improve our ability to meet the market, and at the same time, invest in the application of rice seeding technology and rice drying technology. improve the quality of clean rice products ”, shared Mr. Bui Long Xuan.

The fragrant cucumber by the Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology of the South Central Coast is planted with high technology. Photo: Vu Dinh Thung. Not only developing clean agricultural production models, Hoai An district also develops many linkage models from production to consumption of clean agricultural products locally. For example, the Agriculture Cooperative 19/4 in An Tuong Tay commune specializes in growing green grapefruit in the direction of VietGAP. The initial capital was 5 hectares of green skin pomelo in the garden of Mr. Nguyen Hoai Thuong (Cooperative Director), then the cooperative linked with many other members to increase the total area of ​​green skin pomelo of the cooperative to 55 hectares. Currently, 55 hectares of the cooperative’s green skin pomelo in the business period, each year can supply the market with hundreds of tons of fruit. According to Mr. Vo Duy Tin, Deputy Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Hoai An district, the chain of links will create a product that is similar in terms of fruit quality and quality. 19/4 Agriculture Cooperative will stand out to buy all products of farmers and sign contracts with businesses to sell the products. Mr. Tin said that the project on the chain of the 19/4 Agricultural Cooperative was built with a total investment of 25 billion VND, the heaviest cost was to build a preliminary processing house, cold storage to preserve products. warehouse and purchase cargo transport truck. This model is very necessary because in 1-2 years, the number of green pomelo areas to the business period in Hoai An district will grow very high. Up to now, the 19/4 Agricultural Cooperative has connected a focal point for product consumption with a business in Ben Tre. It is expected that, if successful, Hoai An pomelo can be exported to Europe and Korea.

Developing clean agriculture for urban service In Hoai An district, there is also Thanh Nien Agricultural Cooperative, linking the youth force of communes with farmers to buy clean agricultural products in the area. When associating with farmers, the cooperative will guide farmers to produce vegetables and fruits in the direction of clean agricultural products, then set up a stall selling clean agricultural products at the district center for consumption and for sale outside the province. In An Nhon Town (Binh Dinh), there are also many models of clean vegetable and organic vegetable production that are operating effectively in the direction of developing clean agriculture for urban areas in association with the project of restructuring the industry. local agriculture. For example, Yuuki Farm organic vegetable farm with Japanese technology by Mr. Trinh Hung Cong in Nhon Hau commune. Yuuki Farm is producing and trading clean vegetables, roots and fruits such as vegetables, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots … Every day, on average, Yuuki Farm sells about 100 kg of clean vegetables according to the order. of 2 kindergartens in Quy Nhon city with 7 points selling clean vegetables inside and outside the province.

Also in Nhon Hau commune (An Nhon town), the project of producing organic vegetables in a net house of Kei’s Japan Joint Stock Company was born in 2016. Many varieties of vegetables such as lettuce, okra, cucumber, vegetables … were brought from Japan and cultivated according to Japanese technology on an area of ​​7,500 m2. As a result, local people have direct access to the way of making soil, fertilizing, and planting to produce clean and safe vegetables. Currently, every day Kei’s organic vegetable garden provides more than 100kg of vegetables, tubers and fruits to the market with prices ranging from 20,000 – 40,000 VND / kg. Mr. Duong Quan Sy, a farmer participating in the project, shared: Through the outreach process, the project participants now have a firm grasp of the cultivation techniques and the company also implements mineral products for the people, thanks That farmer’s income is also higher. “Grasping the needs of consumers, Nhon Tho Agricultural Cooperative 2 has turned to organic agriculture. Currently, the cooperative has planted 3.4 hectares of safe vegetables, tubers and fruits in the right direction. Focus on the use of manure and microbiological organic fertilizers derived from natural by-products. The entire vegetable growing area is covered with nets to limit weeds, fertilize according to the norm using the drip irrigation system with Israeli technology and the use of pesticides of biological origin, nanotechnology, ensuring time. cups during cultivation. Cooperatives also use insect nets, antifungal products composted with manure. The products of vegetables, melon, cucumber of the cooperative are trusted by consumers ”.

On the net market, in addition to the wormwood cakes, tapioca cakes, … some small traders in the highlands of Cao Bang, Bac Kan are also selling strange and fancy cakes, attracting many housewives to order.

At this price point, selling 1kg of plum is not enough to buy a cup of iced tea. According to the gardeners, although the price is as cheap as vegetables, plums are still dull. Traders come to buy a little, ripe red plums on the tree, but people do not bother to harvest. Meanwhile, in Hanoi, some fruit shops, street vendors are selling plums at the beginning of season 1 for 120,000-150,000 VND / kg, grade 2 plums are priced from 90,000-110,000 VND / kg, cheap. equal to 1/2 of last year. Tomatoes are in a similar situation. According to VOV, in the fields in Quynh Luu district, Nghe An province, tomatoes are in the red ripe crop, but farmers are not interested in harvesting. They even let the ripe, withered, spoiled tomatoes be picked up as feed for pigs. According to local people, this year, tomatoes are in good season, high yield, but the price is only 1/3 of the previous year, traders also do not buy.
