The way to go up in Thang Hai commune, with dozens of billionaires earning a few billion dong of goods / year, shows the strength of a countryside, as well as the acumen of the people here.
“Suoi Bang village, Suoi Tu … I heard that before, it was forest land!”. I said and reduced the gas. The trees that had been previously swept quickly, glistenly, are now clearer.

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, said to drink water, both tonic and brighten the skin. 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.
