| This spring, Mr. Tran Van Binh's family in Hamlet 7, Tuong Son Commune, planted 3 sao of cucumbers on the rice field. Mr. Binh said: Due to the cold weather from the beginning of the season, his family's cucumber area had to be replanted many times. Up to this point, the entire cucumber area has been harvested. |

| Currently, the whole Tuong Son commune has 3 hectares of cucumber growing area with over 30 households participating, mainly concentrated in hamlet 7. It is worth mentioning that the people of Tuong Son have gradually found a stable output. According to the people's estimates, one sao of cucumber yields 1 to 1.2 tons, with a selling price of 10 - 12 thousand VND/kg, after deducting costs, each sao also reaches over 10 million VND. It is calculated that each hectare brings the people over 100 million VND. |
