Nghi Lam farmers' experience in growing chives for high yield

(Baonghean.vn) - Currently, farmers in hamlets 19 and 20 Nghi Lam (Nghi Loc) are planting chives for the season. This is a crop with high economic efficiency, with an average income of 15 million VND per sao.

Shallots are sown before the rains.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Yen (village 20) said: In recent years, her family has planted chives, which bring high economic value, so this 2016 onion crop, her family expanded the area to 3 sao (nearly 0.6ha). To achieve high onion yield, the land must be cleared of weeds, loose, smooth, and planted when the land is still dry.

Not only Ms. Yen's family but also many households in hamlet 19 and hamlet 20 are taking advantage of the opportunity to plant the remaining shallot fields before the heavy rains come.

Manure is a type of fertilizer needed for plant growth.

Shallots are an easy-to-grow plant, suitable for many types of soil, low production costs, but bring high income. Shallots have a stable market, are easy to consume, and traders come to buy directly. On average, households earn 15 million VND per sao of shallots.

According to Nghi Lam commune's plan, in 2016, the whole commune will plant 55 hectares of chives, an increase of 3 hectares over last year.
