Youth Union continues to "rescue" Nghi Loc shallots

(Baonghean.vn) - Faced with the current situation of sluggish onion sales, Nghi Loc District Youth Union has launched a campaign to sell onion on Facebook and ship onions to other provinces, helping farmers sell onions in difficult times.

Nghi Loc currently has nearly 100 hectares of shallots, and the output is currently very difficult. Nghi Loc District Youth Union has launched a movement to "rescue" shallots on Facebook and many union members have shared. Nghi Lam Commune Youth Union was assigned to go to the fields with the people to harvest shallots, hire a car to transport the shallots to the district center and Vinh City to ship to customers registered on Facebook.

The members also directly transported onions for sale and bought them to support the farmers; as of April 3, they have helped transport and sell more than 1 ton of onions to farmers. Photo by Quang Dung.

Onions are also divided into 5-10 kg bags by union members to be transported to places where people support to buy, at a price of 25,000 VND/kg. Nghi Loc District Union is making efforts to purchase and consume about 30 tons of shallots for farmers growing onions this winter. Photo: Thu Hien
