Mr. Vang Van Binh, a resident of Chan village participating in the model, said: “I grow 2 sao of potatoes. Following the correct process and planting and care techniques, the yield reached 1.5 tons. I imported nearly 1 ton of quality to sell to businesses, the rest was used as seeds for the next crop and sold to the market. After deducting expenses, I still made a profit of 8-9 million VND. Compared to other crops, potatoes have a higher economic value.” Photo: TP

Accordingly, 1kg of commercial potatoes is sold for 7,500 VND. “1 hectare of potatoes produces 14-15 tons of tubers, of which about 8 tons of tubers meet import standards for businesses, the rest are sold to the market. According to calculations, people earn 120-150 million VND per hectare,” said Ms. Luong Thi Hien - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Thach Giam town. Photo: TP

What people are most excited about when participating in the linkage model is that the products produced are guaranteed to be consumed, without worrying about backlog or unsold products. Therefore, many people want to expand the area and replicate the model. Photo: TP
