Phu Nhuan focuses on developing organic tea areas

For the past 7 years, Ms. Tuoi's family's 2 hectares of tea have been produced using organic processes combined with processing (photo above). This change has contributed to increasing the economic value of the tea plantation. Ms. Nguyen Thi Tuoi, Phu Hai 2 village, Phu Nhuan commune, Bao Thang district shared: "Making organic tea and organic fertilizer for clean tea, more buyers come to us. Our income has also increased. Before, we only sold for 50,000 - 60,000 VND/kg, now we sell for 70,000 - 80,000 VND/kg. We choose to sell tea for 250,000 VND/kg".

To increase the value of the crop, Ms. Tuoi's family also invested in machinery and processed it at home with a capacity of nearly 100 tons of fresh buds/year. The model has created jobs and income for a number of local workers. Ms. Vu Thi Hue, Phu Hai 3 village, Phu Nhuan commune, Bao Thang district shared: "There are 4-5 workers in total, working 15 days/month. Thanks to this tea factory, the family also has some income to spend."

Mrs. Tuoi's family's tea production model has created jobs and income for local workers.

Producing tea plants in an organic direction, Mrs. Tuoi's family's tea bud output has increased from 20 - 25 tons/year. The family's income from tea plants has also doubled, reaching more than 300 million VND/year. In addition, waste from livestock farming is also used as a source of fertilizer, contributing to reducing environmental pollution. Ms. Trinh Thi Thuy, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Phu Nhuan Commune, Bao Thang District shared: "From this model, the People's Committee of Phu Nhuan Commune also widely propagated to the people in the whole commune. Currently, Phu Nhuan Commune has implemented an organic tea care model with an area of over 10 hectares with over 10 households participating".

Currently, Phu Nhuan commune has nearly 180 hectares of tea, with an average yield of about 10 tons/ha. From the above typical models, the locality is mobilizing people to promote organic tea production, to increase the economic value of tea trees, promote sustainable development of local tea commodity areas, and increase income for people.
