(Baonghean.vn) - These days, people in the border commune of Nam Can, the remote border district of Ky Son (Nghe An) are actively harvesting peanuts on sloping land and people are very excited because the peanuts have a good harvest, good prices and a good income.

In the 2023 peanut crop, people in the border commune of Nam Can planted more than 60 hectares, mainly in Khanh Thanh and Pa Ca villages. In the photo: The concrete road is more than 5 km long connecting National Highway 7A to Pa Ca village. Photo: Lu Phu

Taking advantage of the soft soil after many days of rain, Ms. Moong Thi Soi in Pa Ca village, Nam Can commune focused on harvesting her family's peanut acreage. Ms. Soi excitedly said: "In previous years, we only knew how to grow low-yield upland rice; in 2020, our family replaced it with peanuts. Thanks to the favorable weather, few pests and diseases, and good peanut growth... the yield was high, with a much higher economic value than upland rice. By 2023, the family had expanded the acreage, and after deducting an investment capital of more than 8 million VND for seeds, we expect to earn 50 million VND in profit." Photo: Lu Phu

Peanuts are grown by people in Nam Can commune on sloping land at an altitude of over 1,000 meters above sea level. Mr. Ven Van Kham - Head of Pa Ca village, Nam Can commune said: "Previously, the traffic route to the village was very difficult, agricultural products were difficult to sell, now with the new road, travel is more convenient, peanuts grown can be sold for more money than rice farming. This peanut crop, small farmers can earn 30 million VND, large farmers can earn up to 50 million VND". Photo: Lu Phu

This year, peanut yield is about 4 - 5 quintals/ha. Photo: Lu Phu

Harvesting peanuts on sloping land is quite hard, but the peanuts have a good harvest and sell for a good price, so people are very excited. Photo: Lu Phu

Replacing upland rice with peanuts is the right direction, helping ethnic minorities in the Nam Can border area escape poverty. Lac Ky Son does not use fertilizers or pesticides, so the products are quite convenient in consumption, traders buy all the products right at the foot of the fields for people, at the price of 15,000 VND/kg of fresh peanuts; 22,000 to 25,000 VND/kg of dried peanuts.

Mr. Lau Ba Chay - Chairman of Nam Can Commune People's Committee said: from growing clean peanuts on sloping land, Pa Ca village (with the largest peanut growing area in Ky Son district) is clearly finding a new and effective way to do business. In the coming time, the commune will continue to research varieties suitable for the area, at the same time, expand and guide peanut growing techniques to increase income for people. Photo: Lu Phu
