As one of the pioneers in implementing the off-season cabbage growing model in the floating area along the Lam River in Hamlet 4, Xuan Tuong Commune, Thanh Chuong, Mr. Hoang Hai Lam is excited because this is the first time he has produced but the economic efficiency is high.

"Although growing off-season cabbage is hard work, the economic efficiency is much higher; on average, 1 hectare yields 5-6 tons if well cared for, and in favorable weather conditions, it can yield 7-8 tons. With the current market price of 10,000 VND/kg, 1 hectare of cabbage can earn at least nearly 50 million VND" - Mr. Hoang Hai Lam said.

The off-season cabbage variety that Thanh Chuong people grow is an Israeli variety, suitable for hot, dry climates, has few pests and diseases and gives high yields.

As a locality with a large area of ​​fertile land, especially the alluvial plains along the Lam River, however, in the past, people in Xuan Tuong commune only grew traditional crops such as rice, corn, peanuts, beans, etc., so the economic efficiency was not high.

Since 2017, the commune has contracted some households to grow vegetables in the direction of commodities with main crops such as squash, pumpkin, peanuts; especially nearly 1 hectare of off-season cabbage, initially showing high productivity and economic efficiency.

Talking about growing off-season cabbage, Mr. Duong Van Nam in Hamlet 10, Thanh Long Commune added: "Although grown off-season, the yield is no less than that of the main season; the growing period is from 10 to 13 weeks, each head weighs on average from 1 to 1.5 kg, the cabbage is of high quality so it has been favored by customers. Currently, my family is importing cabbage for restaurants, hospitals, and school kitchens in Vinh City."
