The Hmong old farmer and his native plant farm on Puxailaileng mountain.

Thanh Phuc - Khanh Ly • April 30, 2025 08:11

Nestled in the high mountains of Na Ngoi in Ky Son district, Nghe An province, halfway up Puxailaileng mountain, Mr. Gia Tong Thu, a Mong ethnic minority, quietly cultivates his land, introducing new plant varieties and creating a self-contained, integrated farm. Every inch of land here, with his calloused hands, is yielding profit day by day...

The integrated farm of Mr. Già Tồng Thù, nestled in the mountains of Buộc Mú 2 village, Na Ngoi commune (Kỳ Sơn district), resembles a painting covered in layers of green, spanning nearly 6 hectares of forest land that he reclaimed from barren, depleted soil. At the foot of the farm are 3,000 peach blossom trees, yielding thousands of branches each year for sale during Tet (Lunar New Year). Photo: Thanh Phúc

Under the peach tree, he cultivates over 500 wild orchid plants, selecting rare varieties such as Dendrobium nobile, Dendrobium phalaenopsis, and Dendrobium bamboo, to supply the market. This is a new direction that helps increase income and preserve native orchid species that are gradually disappearing. Photo: Khanh Ly

In addition, his family is intercropping Codonopsis pilosula, Panax ginseng, Angelica sinensis, etc., using organic methods, both preserving the land and creating a long-term livelihood. Photo: Thanh Phuc

Medicinal herbs are purchased directly from the farms by traders, ensuring a fairly stable market. In the photo: Angelica root is being purchased at 60,000 VND/kg. Photo: Khanh Ly

In sloping areas, newly sprouted rows of ginger plants serve as a supplementary crop, helping to improve soil, retain water, and prevent erosion. Ginger is also a food crop with a good market, used by local people to make traditional rice noodles. Photo: Thanh Phuc

The family of Mr. Già Tồng Thù was the first household in Buộc Mú 2 village to bring Shan Tuyet tea variety to cultivate on 3.4 hectares of hillside fields. Thanks to the cool climate year-round and proper cultivation techniques, the tea is thriving. They are currently harvesting the first tea buds of the year. Photo: Khánh Ly

Shan Tuyet tea also has high medicinal properties and is harvested manually, so the price of tea buds is higher than other types of tea. This is a positive sign for the new key crop in Na Ngoi commune, a border area. Photo: Thanh Phuc
