Ms. Nguyen Thi Su – a household that grows regimental chili in Kan Ho commune (Muong Te) – said that her family grows 3 sao of regimental chili. This year, the weather was not favorable, so the peppers lost the crop, the output decreased, so at the beginning of the season, the retail price of chili was very high, up to 270,000 VND/kg. She shared, from an early age, this chili has appeared in her family’s meals. Previously, her family only planted a few trees to eat or give to relatives and friends, but did not trade anything. However, in the past few years, many people from other regions have asked to buy and see the price, since then, her family has expanded the area to grow this specialty chili variety. Regiment chili is having a towering price, everyone is competing to order it This is just the beginning of the crop, so she can only harvest about 3 kg/day. In order to have the quantity to be delivered to the wholesalers, she had to collect more chili from the villagers. Calculating, every day, her family also collects about 15kg of chili, but there are customers who order first, it takes 3-4 more days for her to collect again. “Last year, the price of chili fluctuated from 150,000 to 220,000 VND/kg depending on the quantity and time, but this year the chili crop failed so the price is higher. I buy wholesale from 5kg for 220,000 VND / kg, sometimes the retail price of fresh chili is up to 280,000-300,000 VND / kg, customers still compete to buy, “said Ms. Su. In addition to selling fresh chili, she also sells salted chili peppers for 100,000 VND/box (3-4 ounces). Calculating, in a good year, her family earns about 50-60 kg of chili/sticks/year, estimated to earn a few tens of millions of dollars per year. Ms. Hoa, a long-time regiment chili grower in Ka Lang (Muong Te), also said that growing this chili is like a seasonal job, adding a little more field to the field because the season only lasts about 5 months, from May to October, in which the most ripe time is around June to August. This is a specialty chili of Muong Te According to her, the reason for the regimental chili’s name is to refer to their spiciness, which means that the whole regiment only ate one of these chili peppers because it was too spicy. In addition, this type of chili also has a characteristic aroma that makes anyone who eats it remember forever. Therefore, not only selling to neighboring provinces, she also moved to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Currently, every day she collects about 10kg of fresh chili, customers who want to buy a lot must order in advance monthly. Also because of the spicy, delicious taste, and the quantity is not much, the retail price of chili peppers in recent years has remained at 200,000 VND/kg or more, Ms. Hoa said. Similarly, Ms. Chu Thi Nhung – a regiment chili grower in Thu Lum (Muong Te) – also admitted that, at the beginning of the crop, many customers down the river had ordered regiment chili to give as gifts or buy food to hoard food. gradually. Compared with many other chili varieties, the regimental chili has a larger fruit and is much more spicy. During the hot chili season, she collects about 10kg per day with prices ranging from 170,000 to 180,000 VND/kg. But many people still go to the place to buy it, Nhung shared. Talk to PV. VietNamNet, Chairman of Thu Lum Phung Long Ka Commune, said that Thu Lum is one of the communes with the largest area of ​​regimental chili growing in Muong Te district, with a total area of ​​about 4-5ha. Despite bringing high economic value, the regiment’s chili output is still quite modest According to him, regimental chili has been grown here for a long time. In the past, each household only planted a few plants as spices to eat in the family. But about 5 years ago, people just started selling everywhere. Seeing the price, they continued to expand the chili growing area. Households that grow a lot are about 2-3 sao, households that grow less are less than 1 sao. However, this chili variety is quite fastidious, requiring strict growing conditions. The tree only produces spicy, delicious fruit when grown on rocky soil, cool climate. If the weather is too sunny, rainy or cold, the tree will easily die. Moreover, the irrigation also requires experienced growers, new plants to grow. Therefore, this chili variety is increasingly rare and expensive. “On average, each year, the regiment’s chili production of the whole commune is about 4-5 tons/crop. With an average selling price of 150,000 VND/kg, the commune’s estimated revenue from this chili plant is about 600-700 million VND/year,” he said. Chili plants have contributed to increase income for people in the commune. However, the specialty chili regiment provides to serve the needs of consumers in the whole province and neighboring provinces mainly, the consumption is still small and fragmented. Therefore, the commune authorities and people are very eager to support and associate with businesses to consume products, from which people can rest assured to develop and invest in expanding area and output, Mr. Ka said.

Hiep Thuan commune (Phuc Tho, Hanoi) is a famous mulberry growing area that specializes in supplying the Hanoi market and the central provinces. According to Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan, Chairman of the Farmers Association of Hiep Thuan commune, “Since ancient times, the elders in the village mainly planted mulberries to raise silkworms. However, before the requirement of reality, mulberries do not bring income, people turn to growing short-term crops such as soybeans, corn to serve daily food. About 30 years ago, taking advantage of favorable soil conditions, people switched to planting mulberry trees for fruit ”. Mulberries produce one crop per year, usually lasting from January to the beginning of April on the lunar calendar. At this time each year, mulberry gardens are in season, the fruit is black, sweet and succulent. However, this year, due to the influence of weather, most of the fields have very few fruits. Many households who lost their money did not want to visit the fields, weeding, and cultivating tree stumps. Ms. Thuy, a mulberry-growing household in Hiep Thuan commune, shared: “This year, due to the influence of salt rain, the strawberry is all hard, dry and white. I planted 3 sao and took up 30% of the area. I should have had no strawberries at home, but many of them abandoned it, didn’t care anymore, but I still came here to pick every broken fruit, re-cultivate each strawberry root, pull the weeds to make the base to try to salvage. beveled, how much is “. The weather has been difficult, the mulberry farmers here are also forced to price when they cannot manage the output for the product. Mainly traders buy small retail locally. At present, the price of mulberry purchased at the garden is only 8,000-10,000 VND / kg. Mr. Hiep (Hiep Thuan commune) shared: “My family has planted 1 sao of mulberry trees for 4-5 years. The most difficult thing about growing this plant is pests and diseases, unpredictable weather and unstable and unstable prices ”. Every strawberry harvest, people gather at the village gate waiting for the small trader to weigh and pick up the goods. If there is a good season, good price, farmers will earn 20-30 million / acre / crop. Although it is a famous mulberry growing area, according to the President of the Farmers Association, the farming method of farmers is only spontaneous. If the price is good, the acreage will be expanded, otherwise it will be cut down to plant other trees. Currently in Hiep Thuan commune, the largest mulberry farmer only reaches 3-4 sao, the rest is only 1-2 sao. “Currently, the locality is also having a policy to restructure crops, including mulberry trees. However, the output of the mulberry tree is a problem. Currently, there are no enterprises and stable purchasing units for people to feel secure in production ”, said Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan, Chairman of Hiep Thuan Commune Farmers Association. Mulberry is a plant grown quite simply. There are households that propagate and graft themselves. After 1 year, from the beginning of planting, it is possible to harvest. From the second year onwards, strawberries will produce more wrong and delicious fruits. After 8-10 years, productivity will gradually decrease. What’s interesting about this perennial crop is that it takes less care. End of mulberry crop, people cut, prune and move to other jobs. At the end of the year, the mulberry tree loses its leaves, then people go to the field to fertilize it so that the tree can produce young leaves to welcome new fruit season. In general, you do not have to care too much, also reduce the labor force somewhat. When the berries are nearly ripe, they will change from green to pink, and ripe fruits will turn red, then crimson. At that time, people will pick strawberries for sale. This fruit can only be harvested manually. During the mulberry season, most people gather in the fields to pick from early morning to dark. According to strawberry growing households, on sunny days, strawberries ripen faster and sweeter than a cold, rainy day. Mulberries can be eaten directly or soaked in sugar as a refreshing drink. Hiep Thuan Strawberry followed traders around Hanoi streets and neighboring localities to reach consumers. And mulberry trees are still trees that bring many economic benefits to the households here./.
