Sweet fruits of the hills: Thu Cuc

Previously, the sloping land in Thu Cuc commune yielded low agricultural productivity. Recognizing that the soil and climate were suitable for fruit tree cultivation, some farmers in Nga Hai and Khu Con areas boldly switched to growing oranges and tangerines, bringing high economic efficiency and generating income of several hundred million dong per year.

As the Lunar New Year approaches, a visit to Thu Cuc reveals orchards laden with ripe, golden-yellow oranges, Canh oranges, and Thai tangerines on the hillsides. This vibrant scene not only heralds a prosperous spring but also confirms that oranges and tangerines have become the "sweet fruits" of the Thu Cuc hills.

Orange and tangerine orchards blaze with golden fruit across the hillsides.

The citrus orchard of Ms. Dang Thi Yen's family in Con area covers more than 9 hectares, mainly growing Thai tangerines, Canh oranges, V2 oranges, etc.

Late-ripening tangerines, harvested just before Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year), yield high economic returns.

The Muong Cuc orange and tangerine brand is being established, becoming a popular local gift choice for many people.

The orange and tangerine orchard of Mr. and Mrs. Duc - Yen's family yields approximately 70-80 tons of fruit per year.

These tangerines are ripe, golden yellow, and have a sweet, refreshing taste.

Over 1 hectare of Canh oranges and yellow-fleshed oranges, grown and cared for organically by Mr. Ha Van Doan's family in Nga Hai area, have begun to yield a stable harvest.

Canh oranges have thin skin and a sweet taste.

Orange V2 is ripe and golden yellow.

Because the branches were laden with fruit, Mr. Doan adopted the method of hanging the branches to keep them stable.

The orchards are in the harvesting season, supplying fruit to the provinces of Quang Ninh, Son La, Thanh Hoa, and the city of Hanoi .

The orchards laden with fruit will become a favorite spot for taking photos.
