Tan Loc Phat Company purchased the output of bitter melon; I planted various vegetables in different seasons so the income will be higher than growing corn and potatoes like before. According to calculations, the income from winter crops is 5-6 times higher than from rice cultivation.”

With 2,000 m2 of chili growing, every winter crop my family earns about 90 million VND from selling chili and various vegetables.”
