When harvesting resin, workers must follow the process and techniques of exploitation, ensuring the growth and development of pine trees. Accordingly, each time they dig, they only open the trunk 8-12cm (called 1 piece) and wait for the tree to flow resin. Every 5 days, they dig another piece to raise it 10cm higher. Photo: TP

This year, the price of pine resin has increased to 23,000 VND/kg (an increase of 5,000 VND/kg) compared to previous years, so people are actively sticking to the forest and hiring workers to harvest resin. Mr. Le Viet Ngu - a forest owner in Quynh Trang commune (Quynh Luu) and a group of about 4 workers are tapping pine resin and said: "My family has been assigned 15 hectares of pine, which is in the harvest season. This is the main source of income for the family. The price of pine resin has increased this year, up to 22,000 - 23,000 VND/kg, so the family is very excited." Photo: TP
