Ms. Phan Thi Hien's orange garden (Anh Hung village) is in harvest season.

Ms. Hien shared: “If not affected by storms, my family’s orange yield would be even higher. This year is a leap year, so the consumption period is longer, so I am not in a hurry to sell everything, only harvesting the ripe trees. I continue to take care of the oranges so they will be sweeter and sell for a higher price at the end of the year.”

Also in the joy of a good orange harvest, recently, Tra Son Cooperative, Dong Loc commune participated in a livestreaming session of Ha Tinh Review channel organized by Dong Loc commune Youth Union.

Mr. Phan Van Son in Anh Hung village (Dong Loc commune) shared: "This year, traders came to buy quite early, the price was attractive so my family decided to sell the whole garden of more than 1 hectare. The normal crispy oranges sell for 40 - 45 thousand VND/kg, the beautiful ones sometimes reach 50 thousand VND/kg".

According to Thuong Loc orange growers, this year, although affected by storms and rains, thanks to meticulous care and production in compliance with food safety and hygiene, orange productivity has increased compared to last year. To have clean products, people use microbial fertilizers, manure, and biological insecticides. Thanks to that, Thuong Loc oranges have a characteristic aroma, deliciousness, and sweetness, helping people increase their income, escape poverty sustainably, and become rich legitimately.
