(Baonghean.vn) - Since 2012, the model of growing pink bananas has been tested in Chan village (Thach Giam commune - Tuong Duong). Initially, this type of tree was highly effective, but over many years, the banana area of 4 hectares has withered, losing 3 hectares to 1 hectare, but it is still ineffective because the quality is decreasing.
 |
| The pink banana project was introduced in 2012 with funding to support new rural development. Initially, 23 households planted 3 hectares, then 10 more households joined, with a total area of 4 hectares. Initially, this plant gave good results and brought income to farmers in Chan village. |
 |
| However, nearly 3 hectares of pink bananas planted since 2012 have now withered. The bananas have dried up and are stunted. |
 |
| There are banana gardens hidden in the grassy forest that cannot grow. Mr. Lo Van Thuong - Head of Chan village said: "Many years of drought without irrigation water and fertilizer have caused the banana trees to wither and die." |
 |
| Each bunch only gives 2-3 bunches of bananas but the small fruits cannot be harvested. |
 |
| Mr. Lo Van Hung said that currently, his family and many other families are not very interested in pink bananas anymore, so they do not care about them. |
 |
| Many remaining banana gardens are still weeded and cared for by people, but the bananas still grow weakly. |
 |
| Of the 4 hectares of bananas that have been planted, only a few gardens are yielding good harvests, as in the photo is the model of Mr. Vang Van Tan... |
 |
| Pink bananas have a delicious flavor, are clean bananas, and are popular with customers. When sold, they cost from 15-20 thousand VND/bunch. People in Chan village are hoping for support to restore the damaged banana areas. |
