Every 3 days, Ms. Hoang Thi Tuyen in Hamlet 13, Thanh Long Commune, Thanh Chuong District goes to the field to harvest passionflowers. She said that on this plot of land of nearly 1 sao, they used to rotate crops such as corn, beans, and peanuts; but for the past 3 years, with the guidance of the Farmers' and Women's Union, her family has completely switched to growing passionflowers for high income and less work in planting and caring.
Ms. Tuyen shared:Hibiscus is a plant that is harvested once a year, the harvest season lasts nearly 9 months, from February to October. The estimated yield is about 400 kg/sao crop, the average price is currently 30 - 35,000 VND/kg. In 1 harvest, 1 sao can reach 10-12 million VND, so 1 hectare can earn more than 200 million VND/year. Therefore, people call this plant variety "hundred million tree".
In addition to Ms. Tuyen, in Thanh Long commune there are many households successfully growing morning glory. Typical examples include the households of Mr. Bui Van Quang, Vo Van Xuan, Hoang Dinh Them in hamlet 13, Hoang Van Ba in hamlet 11... each household has from 1 to 3 sao of morning glory, each year earning several tens of millions of dong.
The flower of the sky is not unfamiliar to the people, but in the past it was mainly grown as an ornamental plant in small quantities. Since being grown as a commodity, the people of Thanh Long commune have paid attention to the technical stages, physiological characteristics, care and harvesting methods. Realizing that this is a valuable crop that is well received by the people, the organizations and unions of the commune have promoted and expanded it. Up to now, the total area of the flower of the sky in the whole Thanh Long commune has reached over 4 hectares.
