bna_3(2).jpg — Different types of persimmons do not ripen at the same time, so people divide the harvest into many batches. Currently, people in Nam Xuan commune have finished harvesting the persimmon variety and are entering the egg persimmon season. People in Nam Anh commune have entered the harvest season of egg persimmons and gourd persimmons for more than 10 days. The erratic weather, especially the circulation of storm No. 4 causing prolonged rain, has affected the persimmon harvest of people, making the road up and down the mountain difficult. When it rains, people stop picking persimmons, when the sky clears and is sunny, people continue to go up the mountain to harvest. Photo: Huy Thu

This persimmon crop, he has just harvested 300 kg of fruit. The expected yield is not less than last year. Photo: Huy Thu

Households without enough labor have to sell their entire garden of persimmons to traders or people who specialize in picking persimmons for hire. Mr. Nguyen Kim Nhuan (64 years old) in Hamlet 7, Nam Anh Commune said that this persimmon season, his family spent more than 100 million VND to buy persimmons from trees in the commune, then gradually picked them and brought them to purchasing facilities. Persimmon pickers are paid 400,000 VND/day. Photo: Huy Thu

People bring persimmons to import, weigh them, calculate the price and receive the money immediately. Mr. Ho Viet Chuong, a resident of Nam Anh commune, shared: On average, each time he goes to pick persimmons, he and his son will pick more than 100 kg of persimmons. Importing persimmons to purchasing facilities and receiving the money immediately is very convenient. Photo: Huy Thu

Ms. Nguyen Thi Loan - owner of a persimmon purchasing facility in Hamlet 7, Nam Anh Commune said: This is the beginning of the persimmon season, her family imports about 600-700 kg of fruit every day. People pick as much as they can, they buy all that. After ripening, her persimmons will be packed in boxes and shipped to Hanoi. "This year is very favorable, in addition to customers in Vinh, there are also customers from far away. Hanoi customers order many persimmons, each customer takes 500-600 kg of persimmons, not worrying about output like many years ago," Ms. Loan said. Photo: Huy Thu

8 (2) — Local people often make sweet ripe persimmons in two ways: soaking in water and drying. Persimmons soaked in water in barrels, jars... are usually crispy, sweet, and have a bright yellow color, while persimmons dried in Styrofoam boxes have soft flesh and a bright red color. Photo: Huy Thu

bna_9(1).jpg — This year, many purchasing facilities choose to incubate persimmons in Styrofoam boxes, with straw and cotton blankets on top to keep the heat. Each time, they incubate about 1 ton of fruit. After 4 days and nights, when the persimmons are just ripe, they are sorted into boxes and sent. According to purchasing facilities, the taste of people in the northern provinces seems to prefer soft, ripe, bright red persimmons over the traditional crispy pickled persimmons. Photo: Huy Thu

bna_10(1).jpg — To create soft, plump, sweet ripe persimmons when they reach customers, the person who incubates persimmons also needs experience, especially in timing the "delivery". When the persimmons are ripe, they need to be transported immediately. If they are left to ripen too much, they will become rotten and lose quality. Incubated persimmons are more easily bruised than pickled persimmons, so they need to be packed in styrofoam boxes and plastic bags carefully. Photo: Huy Thu

According to information from local authorities, Nam Anh commune has about 150 hectares of persimmons, mainly concentrated on the slopes of Dai Hue mountain, each year yielding about 500 tons of fruit. Nam Xuan commune has about 90 hectares, each year yielding about 300 tons. Nam Hung commune has about 1,000 trees, each year yielding dozens of tons. In general, each good persimmon crop has supplied the market with about 800 - 900 tons of fruit. The first-season egg persimmons are currently being purchased by establishments at 30,000 VND/kg, 5,000 - 8,000 VND higher than last year. Persimmons are priced well and selling well, making persimmon growers in Nam Dan quite excited. Photo: Huy Thu
