Currently, the gardens are fertilizing and spraying pesticides to protect the durian orchards from pests and diseases and to provide nutrients for the trees to recover their "health", preparing for the new flowering growth cycle.
Mr. Nguyen Nam in Bao Lam 3 commune said: "The durian crop in 2025 did not meet the expectations of many people, but most durian growers still made a profit." In La Da, village 4, many durian gardeners harvested early from June and finished the crop at the end of July. At this time, the price of durian fluctuated from 60,000 - 80,000 VND/kg, depending on the type, so durian growers made a high profit. However, although in the same La Da commune, La Day and Da Tro villages harvested 1 month later, from July to the end of September, so they only got the first crop. In the second crop, the price of durian dropped to 37,000 - 50,000 VND/kg. In some places, due to prolonged rain when the durian was about to ripen, causing the rice to be hard, traders only bought it for 15,000 - 17,000 VND/kg. However, because the first harvest usually yields over 50% of the garden, most gardeners will make a profit from the 2025 durian crop. After the season, Mr. Nam will hire more workers to clean the garden in time...
Mr. Tran Cong Hoi in village 10, Nam Thanh commune, who has more than 20 years of growing durian and was recognized as a good farmer at the provincial level in 2020. He currently has 6 hectares of durian being harvested, earning over 3 billion VND each year, said: “After harvesting, gardeners start to replant the garden. Taking care of durian usually has 3 stages, the first stage is "cleaning the garden", the second stage is adding nutrients for the tree to produce new shoots. When the durian is about to flower, gardeners must take care to spray supporting chemicals to help the tree produce many flower buds. At this time, the weather is very important, if it rains a lot, the tree will not flower or flower slowly, flower less, the garden will not produce. Stage 3 is when the durian bears fruit, taking care of the fruit is the most difficult stage, in addition to fertilizers and pesticides, sunny and rainy weather is best, if it is too sunny, watering is required, however, the yield of the fruit garden will not be as high as natural weather However, unusual weather will make care more difficult. Regarding fertilizers, most people do it on their own, there is no specific process. Growing durian is mainly based on experience. Each year the weather changes differently, so the care is also different." Mr. Hoi's experience is that taking care of durian requires watching the weather, making judgments: proactively grasping the weather so that the durian sprouts; adding nutrients properly will produce flowers and fruits of high quality.
According to the reporter's research, most durian growers are now aiming to produce "clean products", registering area codes or following VietGAP procedures to easily supply to the market and export enterprises. Therefore, gardeners all use branded domestic fertilizers. Places with growing area codes for export to other countries often use organic fertilizers such as fish and chicken manure, aquatic fertilizers mainly imported from Japan, the US, Australia, Poland, Turkey, the Netherlands, Germany... The types of fertilizers and pesticides that are advised to be used by stores have a commitment to gardeners about the quality during use, so durian growers are quite confident...
According to the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the whole province currently has 42,622 hectares of durian, many places such as La Da, Nam Thanh are planted in large areas, registered for growing area codes, and follow VietGAP procedures, so they bring good income. In the past 2 months, the weather has been unusual, with continuous heavy rains causing many durian gardens of people to fall and leak sap from the tree trunks. Therefore, many gardeners have to spend more time scraping the bark to treat the disease by applying medicine on the trees, preventing the disease from spreading widely....
