Currently, Mr. Tong Van Chien's family is growing drought-resistant crops such as red-fleshed dragon fruit and watermelon. In the last crop, the family's 800 red-fleshed dragon fruit trees brought in an income of 130 million VND; watermelons brought in about 30 million VND.
Previously, his family grew potatoes and cassava on this area, but the income was low, so the family switched to growing red-fleshed dragon fruit and watermelon. Mr. Chien said that this year, due to hot weather and drought, the output of red-fleshed dragon fruit and watermelon has decreased.
It is known that in Bai So village, a dragon fruit growing cooperative has been established, with an area of over 7 hectares. However, the output of dragon fruit is still facing many difficulties because the brand has not been built yet.
Recognizing the efforts of Mr. Chien's family, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Hoang Nghia Hieu suggested that his family as well as other households proactively apply irrigation plans; at the same time, arrange reasonable planting times to achieve the highest efficiency.
