In Minh Hop commune, the working delegation of the Central Economic Committee visited and surveyed the orange growing model of Mr. Pham Xuan Tien, Minh Ho hamlet. Mr. Tien's orange garden has an area of 1.65 hectares, one of dozens of orange models in Minh Hop commune, originating from Xa Doai orange variety, planted for 5 years and starting to enter the exploitation cycle. According to calculations, on average, each hectare of oranges has about 400 trees. If well cared for and the weather is favorable, each tree will yield an average of about 30-40 kg, equivalent to a value of about 3-4 million VND/tree; many trees yield from 100-150 kg, with some trees from 350 to 400 kg. Thanks to good varieties and suitable soil conditions, each hectare of oranges when harvested has an income of 1.6 to 2 billion VND/year. After nearly 10 years of development, Quy Hop district has about 1,400 hectares of oranges, of which Minh Hop has about 100 hectares and nearly half of the area has been harvested. In Quy Hop area, oranges are grown with a diverse variety structure, from Van Du, Vanlencia (V2), Xa Doai, PH oranges...
