Duc Tho farmers in the summer-autumn bean harvest season

In the summer-autumn crop of 2023, the entire Duc Tho district planted more than 780 hectares of various types of beans. At this time, beans in the communes outside the dike of Duc Tho district ( Ha Tinh ) have ripened, and farmers are focusing on harvesting.

Farmers of Tung Chau commune go to the fields to harvest summer-autumn beans.

Ms. Phan Thi Huong's family in Thinh Kim village, Tung Chau commune this year produced 3 sao of summer-autumn beans. Thanks to the 3-layer mung bean variety structure, the fruit-to-tree ratio is relatively high, the seeds are firm, and the second harvest has been completed, with an estimated yield of 80 kg/sao.

"Every year, my family produces one crop of rice and one crop of beans, without leaving the land fallow. Each kilogram of summer-autumn beans at the beginning of the season is sold for 24,000 VND. After harvesting, the beans are cleaned, and traders come to buy them at home. With 3 sao of beans, my family earns nearly 6 million VND" - Ms. Phan Thi Huong said.

In the 2023 summer-autumn crop, Tung Chau commune planted 120 hectares of beans. Although the weather was dry from the beginning of the crop, the summer-autumn bean yield was lower than last year, but compared to previous years, it was still considered a good harvest. Because the fruit-to-tree ratio was high, the seeds were firm, there were few pests and diseases, and prices were stable, farmers did not have to worry about output.

After harvesting, traders come to buy beans at home at a price of 24,000 VND/kg.

Mr. Dau Thanh Tinh - Vice Chairman of Tung Chau Commune People's Committee said: "The locality always pays attention to directing the closed production area of summer-autumn crops, especially beans. Because this is a crop that people have had experience in intensive cultivation for many years and has high economic efficiency. Right from the beginning of the season, we have issued a project, propagated and disseminated it to all villages. To ensure successful summer-autumn production, the locality has established cooperatives to purchase and process agricultural products to stabilize output for people."

At this time, farmers in Bui La Nhan commune are also in the summer-autumn bean harvest season. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien (Hoa Dinh village) said: "My family produces more than 1 sao of summer-autumn beans, the structure of the green-heart black bean variety. This is a bean variety with high yield and high price. At this time, I have almost finished harvesting, the estimated yield is 60kg/sao."

According to Mr. Nguyen Xuan Linh - Chairman of Bui La Nhan Commune People's Committee, this year many concentrated production areas have been formed, with a minimum area of 10 hectares each. Thanks to that, it has created favorable conditions for people in the process of using machinery to work the land. The care and pest control steps are also easier.

Summer-autumn crop 2023, Bui La Nhan commune sowed 90 hectares of beans

This year, the whole Duc Tho district planted 780 hectares of summer-autumn beans. Due to the drought at the beginning of the season, and heavy rain after the bean flowering period, not only the communes outside the dike, but also many other localities, the bean yield was somewhat lower than the previous crop, reaching only 1.2 tons/1ha. To promote production development and increase economic value per unit of cultivated area, Tung Chau commune is currently developing the summer-autumn green bean product as an OCOP product.
