According to data from the People's Committee of Khuất Xá commune, the entire commune currently has 31.5 hectares of watermelon. Watermelon cultivation is considered suitable for the local climate and soil conditions, resulting in high-quality watermelons from Khuất Xá with firm, sweet, and flavorful fruit, which are popular with consumers. As soon as farmers harvest, traders come directly to the fields to buy the produce.

To support the development of the local people, over the years, the People's Committee of the commune has coordinated with specialized agencies to organize training courses and provide technical guidance on planting and caring for watermelons. In addition, officials from the Public Service Center regularly monitor the production situation and advise people on caring for and controlling pests and diseases in their crops.

With the attention and support of the commune government, the people have also proactively applied science and technology to production, actively learning new knowledge and experience to improve productivity and product quality. On average, each plot yields 5-6 quintals/plot, and this year watermelons are priced at 10-15 thousand VND/kg, giving growers an income of 5-9 million VND/plot (depending on yield and selling price).

Mr. Hoang Trung Dung, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Khuat Xa commune, said: In recent years, the watermelon cultivation model in the commune has brought clear economic benefits, contributing to increasing people's income. In the future, the commune will encourage people to develop concentrated watermelon growing areas, strengthen connections with businesses and cooperatives to build linkages in production and consumption of products. In particular, the commune aims to develop watermelon products that meet OCOP standards to enhance value, create a unique brand for the commune's products, contribute to expanding the market, stabilizing output, and increasing sustainable income for people.
