Mr. Lau Ba Cho in Huoi Tu commune, Ky Son district said: "My family has more than 30 peach trees in the fields and home garden. Of which, about half can be harvested for sale. From mid-December until now, every day I have transported 1-2 trees to Muong Xen town to sell to customers, earning money for Tet shopping. This year, the peach trees bloomed later, many new trees have just started to bud, so we can celebrate Tet longer, so we are also supported by the people".

Mr. Nguyen Xuan Truong - Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Ky Son district said that by December 20, more stone peach trees began to flow into Muong Xen town. Because the peach trees arrived late, while traders bought a lot, they were easy to sell, the lowest branches cost from 1 - 4 million VND, with some branches costing tens of millions of VND. Therefore, the end of the year is an opportunity for ethnic minorities in Ky Son to earn income from harvesting stone peach trees. Photo: Quang An
