The avocado tree takes root in the hillside soil.

Taking advantage of the hilly terrain, many households in Ba Chuc commune intercrop avocados with durians and other fruit trees. This model not only improves land use efficiency and increases income but also opens up a sustainable horticultural development direction for the mountainous region.

Recognizing that avocado trees adapt well to the specific soil conditions of the mountainous region, Mr. Cao Van Hau, residing in Ba Chuc commune, planted over 70 avocado trees interspersed in his family's durian orchard. To ensure market access and product quality, Mr. Hau chose the 034 avocado variety and the waxy avocado variety, both of which have high economic value. The model is implemented on an area of ​​over 5,000 ^{square meters} in the Dai mountain region.

This year's harvest brings optimistic signs for Mr. Hau's family. This harvest yielded over 500kg of avocados from his family's orchard. Compared to durian trees, which require specific cultivation techniques and strict care procedures, Mr. Hau believes avocado trees are easier to grow.

According to Mr. Nha, intercropping helps create canopy cover, providing shade for the orchard. More importantly, this interwoven system of trees contributes to maintaining and retaining moisture, especially during the dry season.

Besides its ecological value, the model also brings economic value by creating an effective dual income stream. "From the money earned from selling avocados, I have additional funds to proactively purchase fertilizers and pesticides for my durian orchard, so I don't have to worry about investment capital," Mr. Nha shared.
