The hillsides are ablaze with golden oranges.

HA TINH PROVINCE: In the final days of the year, the crisp orange orchards in Dong Loc commune (formerly Thuong Loc), Ha Tinh province, enter their peak ripening season, painting the hillsides a vibrant golden yellow.

The orchard of over 500 crisp orange trees belonging to Ms. Tran Thi Tuyet's family (Nhat Tan village, Dong Loc commune) is being purchased by traders directly from the orchard at a price of 70,000 VND/kg, generating an estimated income of approximately 1 billion VND.

With over 1,300 orange trees bearing fruit, Phan Thi Hien's family (Anh Hung village, Dong Loc commune) expects to harvest approximately 75 tons this year, the highest yield ever.

Dong Loc commune is entering its peak harvest season with 350 hectares of crisp oranges, concentrated in the villages of Anh Hung, Khe Tho, Trai Tieu, Nam Phong, and Thanh My.

Crispy oranges are round, with smooth skin, and weigh an average of 250-350g per fruit. When ripe, they have a rich, sweet, crisp, and refreshing taste with few seeds, making them very popular in the market.

The crisp orange orchards in Dong Loc are entering their peak ripening season, with abundant fruit, bright yellow peels, signaling a bountiful harvest.

Orange growers only harvest the ripest oranges, continuing to care for the rest to maintain their sweetness, in order to supply the market at the end of the year and during Tet (Lunar New Year).

These decades-old citrus trees, with their thick trunks and moss-covered branches, are still thriving and bearing fruit consistently.

The orange ripening season is also the time when many tourists and traders come to visit and buy oranges directly from the orchards, contributing to promoting the brand of Thượng Lộc crispy oranges.

This year's crisp orange harvest has brought great joy to farmers in Dong Loc, with an estimated yield of over 2,500 tons and a total value of approximately 210 billion VND, thanks to high productivity, high selling prices, and a stable market.
