Clean agricultural products grown in La Hien

After nearly 10 years of pursuing organic farming, the family of Mr. Vu Van Duong in Khuoi Me hamlet (La Hien commune) has gradually turned their dream of restoring the area's former specialty orange and tangerine growing region into reality. This year, his family's farm harvested 30 tons of sweet oranges, tangerines, and local sweet pomelos. The clean produce from his farm has spread to many places inside and outside the province, initially building a brand for specialty fruits grown on the hillside.

Currently, Mr. Vu Van Duong Duong's family has over 200 mandarin orange trees, more than 5 years old, that provide a stable harvest.

In 2017, Mr. Duong's family invested in planting 10 hectares of forest in Khuoi Me hamlet (formerly Cuc Duong commune). Knowing that this area had been a renowned region for growing delicious oranges and pomelos in Vo Nhai district for decades, the family decided to dedicate a portion of their land to citrus fruit cultivation.

The tangerines are gathered in the orchard before being sorted according to quality. The highest quality tangerines are purchased by traders and distributed to supermarkets in Hanoi .

Mr. Vu Van Duong instructs workers on harvesting and sorting the produce.

Besides sweet tangerines, Mr. Duong's family grows over 100 yellow-fleshed orange trees.

The Khuoi Me sweet pomelo variety is purchased by traders directly from the orchards.

Duong's family also experimented with planting some red pomelo trees that have a distinctive mild aroma, are juicy, and have a sweet, refreshing taste, selling for up to 100,000 VND per fruit.

Currently, Mr. Duong's family farm has 3 hectares planted with pomelos, oranges, and tangerines. The family plans to reduce the area planted with trees and expand the area for fruit tree cultivation in the future.
