(Baonghean.vn) - Farmers in Nghi Loc district are proactive in changing the structure of seasonal crops on the same area. And the fact that people plant waxy corn in the winter crop is considered the current main crop of Nghi Loc.

At this time, the glutinous corn is in harvest time. Glutinous corn not only brings high economic efficiency to the farmers here but also a specialty when grilled on hot coals in the cold winter for diners in Vinh city. |

| For many years, Nghi Loc sticky corn has been famous in many markets in the province, especially Vinh City and Cua Lo Town. In the winter crop, people mainly intercrop sticky corn with peanuts. Currently, one sao of peanuts intercropped will harvest 500 - 700 cobs of sticky corn, earning an additional 1 to 1.5 million VND in corn. In the photo: Ms. Vo Thi Chau (Hamlet 17, Nghi Trung) said: This year, her family has 2 sao of AG 500 sticky corn. This is a high-yielding, sticky, and fragrant corn variety. Since switching to growing sticky corn, her income on the same area has increased a lot. It turns out that she earns 4 million VND/season from 2 sao of corn. |

| The AG 500 glutinous corn variety has even, firm, sticky grains and a sweet, aromatic taste that is very popular with customers. Each corn cob like this is sold in the field for 2.5 - 3 thousand VND/cob. Usually, traders will come to the field to choose and buy. The smaller corn cobs will be transported by people to Vinh to sell at markets such as Quang Trung, Quan Lau, Vinh market, Ga market... |
 |
| Ms. Nguyen Thi Sen (from Nghi Phong - Nghi Loc) specializes in going to the corn fields to choose the best and most beautiful corn cobs to transport to Vinh to import to sidewalk corn shops to grill for customers. Every year, when the sticky corn season comes, she travels alone on a cart from one commune to another to buy them. |
 |
| Ms. Nguyen Thi Tuyet - owner of a tea and grilled corn shop for over ten years said: on the most days she can sell 50 grilled corn cobs, each cob costs 10,000 VND. |
 |
| The corn cobs grilled on hot charcoal have an enticing aroma. Especially in the cold winter, this rustic gift becomes a specialty and is chosen by many diners. |
 |
| In the cold winter weather, enjoying grilled sticky corn by a warm fire is a happiness. |
