In the summer-autumn crop of 2023, the whole Duc Tho district planted more than 780 hectares of beans of all kinds. At this time, beans in communes outside the dyke of Duc Tho district (Ha Tinh province) are ripe, farmers are focusing on harvesting.
Farmers in Tung Chau commune go to the fields to harvest summer-autumn beans.
Ms. Phan Thi Huong's family, Thinh Kim village, Tung Chau commune, this year produced 3 sao of summer-autumn beans. Thanks to the 3-tiered mung bean seed structure, the fruit-to-tree ratio is relatively wrong, the seeds are firm, and the 2nd generation has been harvested, the yield is estimated at 80 kg/sao.
“Every year, my family produces one rice crop and one bean crop, not leaving the land uncultivated. Each kg of summer-autumn beans sold at the beginning of the season was 1 VND. After the beans are harvested, the shells are cleaned and traders come to the house to buy. With 1 sao of beans, my family earned nearly 24.000 million dong," said Ms. Phan Thi Huong.
In the summer-autumn crop of 2023, Tung Chau commune planted 120 hectares of beans. Although the weather was dry from the beginning of the crop, the yield of summer-autumn beans was lower than last year, but compared to previous years, it is still considered a good season. Because of the high fruit-to-tree ratio, firm seeds, few pests and diseases, and stable prices, farmers do not have to worry about output.

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 type of crop, people have experienced intensive farming for many years and have high economic efficiency. Right from the beginning of the season, we issued the project, propagated it, and disseminated it to the villages. In order to ensure successful summer-autumn production, the locality has established cooperative groups to purchase and process agricultural products to stabilize output for farmers.
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 pole of summer-autumn beans, the structure is like black bean with green heart. This is a bean variety with high yield and high cost. By this time, I have almost finished harvesting, the yield is estimated at 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. This has created favorable conditions for people in the process of mechanizing the land. Care and pest control are also easier.

This year, the whole district of Duc Tho planted 780 hectares of summer-autumn beans. Due to the drought at the beginning of the season, after the flowering period, there was a lot of rain, so not only the communes outside the dyke, but many other localities, the bean yield was somewhat lower than the previous crop, reaching only 1,2 tons / year. 1 ha. In order to promote production development and increase economic value per unit of cultivated area, Tung Chau commune is currently building a summer-autumn mung bean product, which is an OCOP product.
