This is the first crop variety grown in these two border communes of Tuong Duong district.

After 3 days of deployment, the forces have reclaimed and dug holes in 4 hectares, of which 3 hectares are in Huoi Son village and 1 hectare in Pha Lom. In the coming time, Tuong Duong district will provide free seedlings as well as fertilizers and trellis materials; Tam Hop commune will continue to help people plant and fertilize properly.

In the immediate future, the forces involved in helping the people will reclaim forest land and dig holes. In the coming days, when the seedlings are brought back, they will plant roots and build trellises for the passion fruit. Photo: Dinh Tuan.

This activity not only shows the concern of local authorities at all levels in poor Tuong Duong district and officers and soldiers of Tam Hop Border Guard Station, but also has the meaning of gradually helping Mong ethnic people change their economic thinking from self-sufficiency to commodity economy. Thereby, efforts are made to help people stabilize their lives, eliminate hunger and reduce poverty, and prevent illegal migration./.
