In Chieng Co commune, Son La city, for many years, people have proactively changed crop varieties to improve economic efficiency. One of the crops developed by people is chayote.
Taking advantage of his family's hilly land, Mr. Tong Van La invested in trellises and nets to grow chayote. According to him, this is an easy-to-grow plant, does not require much care, has high productivity and yield, and is easy to sell. Each year, Mr. La's family earns about 200 million VND from chayote.
Mr. TONG VAN LA - Ban Hun, Chieng Co commune, Son La city: My family has more than 1,000m2, harvests 100kg per day, the current price is 11-12 thousand/kg, the highest is 20 thousand, the lowest is 5 thousand. In comparison, the economy from chayote is higher than other trees such as plum and coffee.
And this is Mrs. Hoa's family's chayote garden! Planting started in June, and the harvest started in September. The harvest is expected to last until May next year, with an expected yield of 20 tons of fruit. With the current selling price of 10-12 thousand VND/kg, Mrs. Hoa's family has an income of about 200 million VND on a field of only 1,000 m2.
Ms. LO THI HOA - Ban Hun, Chieng Co commune, Son La city: Chayote trees are also grown like vegetable gardens, selling fruits for daily consumption. Sometimes the price is good, sometimes it is not. This year the price is also stable, more than 10 thousand/kg. You have to take care of them, water them to produce fruit; you have to prune the leaves so that the fruit is beautiful and has a good price.
The advantages of growing chayote are: The initial investment cost is not much, mainly the trellis system, net, irrigation system, manure, organic fertilizer; plus chayote has few pests and diseases, if well cared for, it can be harvested continuously for 6-7 months. The product is easily consumed at wholesale markets in the province. Realizing that growing chayote brings high economic efficiency, many households in Chieng Co commune have switched to growing this plant to replace some other crops. Currently, the whole commune has about 20 hectares of chayote./.
