Reviving the wasteland by Lam River into a bamboo forest worth hundreds of millions of dong each season, both preserving the land and the village

Thanh Phuc • DNUM_BJZAHZCACF 09:59

From the desolate alluvial plain, surrounded by floods all year round, Mr. Cao Thai Thang in Dai Dong commune (formerly Thanh Chuong) has revived the land along the Lam river with a sweet bamboo shoot forest of more than 5 hectares. Not only does it bring in hundreds of millions of dong each season, the model of growing bamboo shoots on alluvial sandy soil also helps to preserve the soil, prevent erosion, contribute to protecting the dike and providing long-term production for people in the alluvial plain.

Bamboo shoot mounds are built into high mounds to prevent flooding when floods come. This creative method helps the bamboo shoot roots not to be damaged and still grow well. Photo: Thanh Phuc

When harvesting, workers must use a shovel to dig deep down to get the whole root, the secret to keeping the bamboo shoots from being bitter and preserving them longer. Photo: Thanh Phuc

After the harvest season, Mr. Thang proactively trims old bamboo trees, both to sell as raw materials and to create space for new seedlings to grow. Photo: Thanh Phuc

Traders come to the fields to buy at a price of 13,000 - 20,000 VND/kg (including the shell); if the shell is peeled, the price is even higher. In each bamboo shoot season, in addition to selling commercial bamboo shoots, he also supplies about 3,000 bamboo shoot cuttings to the market. The total income that Mr. Thang's family earns from the bamboo shoot forest is about 500 million VND/year. Photo: Thanh Phuc

Hàng ngày, ông Thắng dành hết thời gian cho rừng măng của mình, nơi giờ đây không chỉ là sinh kế, mà còn là “tài sản xanh” ông dành cho quê hương.
