The main vegetables are sweet cabbage, fat cabbage, stuffed cabbage, cucumber, and bitter melon. In a good year with good prices, each sao of intercropped vegetables also brings in an income of 10-12 million VND/sao. This year, the vegetables have a good harvest, the weather is favorable so there are few pests and diseases, but the output is stuck because localities are implementing isolation and social distancing, making it impossible to circulate.
