The benefits of growing four-season lemons on hilly land.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong, born in 1988, residing in Viet Hung 3 area (Phu Lam commune, Doan Hung district), is well-known for her dynamism and willingness to think outside the box and take action, transforming barren hillside land into a highly profitable model of four-season lemon cultivation.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong from Viet Hung 3 area (Phu Lam commune, Doan Hung district) checks the quality of lemons before harvesting.

Ms. Huong shared: “In 2014, encouraged by the Women's Association of the commune, I participated in training courses on crop restructuring and visited and learned from some high-value agricultural economic development models in neighboring districts and provinces. After observing the situation, I realized that the four-season lemon tree was very suitable for the climate and soil conditions of my hometown. I decided to borrow capital and renovate the entire area of ​​my family's abandoned hillside land to plant four-season lemon trees.” It was learned that Ms. Huong's experimental planting of 200 four-season lemon trees developed quickly; the trees started bearing fruit in about 6 months, and the first harvest yielded 350 kg of fruit.

While working and learning, she sought ways to expand the model. To date, her family's 4 hectares of hilly land are planted with approximately 3,000 trees, of which 1,500 are already yielding a harvest of 50 tons per year. After deducting expenses, they earn a profit of 500-600 million VND.

Besides selling commercial lemons, Ms. Huong also propagates them by grafting to sell seedlings to households in need. She enthusiastically shares her experience in caring for the trees and guides farmers on planting, pruning, and fertilizing techniques to ensure healthy growth and high yields. According to Ms. Huong, four-season lemons bear fruit year-round, have stable yields, and if planted for many years, the initial investment will decrease, and profits will always be higher each year if cared for according to proper techniques.
