(HG) - Introduced by an acquaintance in Soc Trang province to the model of growing pink avocado milk fruit, Mr. Nguyen Van Phuong, in Lang Ham B hamlet, Thanh Xuan commune, has converted 1 hectare of rice cultivation to grow this fruit. Up to now, his 200 pink avocado milk fruit trees are 5 years old, and have been bearing fruit for more than 2 years. This year, he has just harvested 24 tons of fruit, selling it in the garden to traders at 35,000 VND/kg, after deducting expenses, earning a profit of 795 million VND. Mr. Phuong said that this type of milk fruit is easy to grow and care for, and it will bear fruit after 2-2.5 years of planting. However, for the milk fruit to grow well, it must be planted in a high place, regularly covered with mud around the base of the tree, fertilized with organic fertilizer, and after each harvest, the branches must be pruned to create a canopy to prepare for the next crop.
Recently, many farmers in Chau Thanh A district have converted their mixed gardens or ineffective rice fields to grow pink avocado milk fruit. In Thanh Xuan commune alone, there are 5 households growing pink avocado milk fruit with 4.9 hectares. The ripe pink avocado milk fruit has a white-pink skin, is shiny, has a sweet taste, and a light aroma when eaten... These are the characteristics that make pink avocado milk fruit popular with customers, has a stable output, and contributes to bringing high income to growers. On average, 1 hectare of pink avocado milk fruit brings in an income of 800-900 million VND. The district is mobilizing people to expand the model, contributing to helping people increase their income.
