(Baonghean.vn) - 50 hectares of melons in Dien Ky commune, Dien Chau district (Nghe An) are entering the second mass harvest of the year. With a yield of 1 ton/sao and a current price of 10,000 VND/kg, each hectare reaches 200 million VND.
 |
| Currently, people in Dien Ky are harvesting the second crop of summer melons, the previous harvest was at the end of June. |
 |
| Because this crop's hot weather makes the fruit easily crack, the yield is only 1 ton/sao on average, 2 quintals/sao lower than the previous crop. |
 |
| Cantaloupe is grown the most by people in Dien Ky and Dien Loc. This is a high-income crop and is easy to sell. If only 15 hectares are planted in the spring crop, the summer-autumn crop can be expanded to 50 hectares. After harvesting, people can grow another crop of melons or winter vegetables. |
 |
| Melons are gathered by farmers at the edge of the fields to be imported to traders. With the price of melons at 10,000 VND/kg imported from the fields, farmers earn 10 million VND/sao. After deducting expenses, the profit is about 8 million VND/sao. |
 |
| Farmers "reward" themselves with the fruits of the sweet fruit season. This season, the hot weather has reduced the yield of melons, but the fruits are crispy and very sweet. |
 |
| Traders from neighboring districts and Vinh City come to buy melons at the farmers' fields. The melon growing area is near National Highway 1A, so it is very convenient for purchasing. |
