Many peanut growing areas have been harvested with stable productivity and prices.
Mr. Nguyen Van Son (residing in Bau Nang commune) who grows peanuts in Cau Khoi commune said: "This crop, my family planted 4 hectares of peanuts, harvested 1 hectare, yielded nearly 4 tons, traders bought at the field for 23,000 VND/kg. After deducting expenses, my family earned a profit of over 150 million VND".
Mr. Nguyen Trung Sam - Chairman of the Farmers' Association of Cau Khoi commune said: peanuts have a growth period of 3 months, equivalent to rice, however, growing peanuts gives outstanding economic efficiency.
About 3 years ago, many households in Cau Khoi commune began to convert to growing peanuts in rotation with rice, corn, melons, etc., suitable for the local climate, soil and weather conditions, bringing high income and developing the household economy.
Many peanut growing areas have been harvested with high yields and stable prices.
“The Commune Farmers' Association propagates and mobilizes farmer members to apply and implement mechanization in peanut production and harvesting to solve the labor shortage and reduce production costs.
At the same time, farmers apply new varieties and technical advances transferred by the Tay Ninh Agricultural Extension Center and Duong Minh Chau District Agricultural Extension Station. Thanks to that, crop yields are stable and there are few pests and diseases.
However, to get high peanut yields, farmers need to note that they should not cultivate many crops consecutively in the same area but must have a reasonable period of intercropping with other crops.
Many peanut growing areas have been harvested with stable productivity and prices.
In the 2023-2024 Winter-Spring crop, Duong Minh Chau district planted about 2,000 hectares of peanuts, concentrated in Cau Khoi and Truong Mit communes. The main peanut varieties grown by people are L14 and TK10, with an average yield of 3.8 - 4 tons/ha, 0.5 - 1 ton/ha higher than last year's Winter-Spring crop. The current peanut purchase price is from 23,000 - 24,000 VND/kg.
