Nghe An: Domesticating wild vegetables on saline soil, earning hundreds of millions of VND/ha
(Baonghean.vn) - This is a wild vegetable that grows along shrimp ponds, sandbanks or along salt fields and can only be harvested once a season, with low productivity and economic efficiency. Since being domesticated, this vegetable can be harvested year-round, bringing in high income.

| Rau lot is a wild vegetable that grows along brackish water rivers, shrimp ponds, salt fields, and is harvested from January to February of the lunar calendar. Because it grows wild, the yield of this vegetable is low, the economic efficiency is not high, and it is gradually becoming scarce. From there, some people in Quynh Luu district, Hoang Mai town have had the idea of domesticating this wild vegetable and planting it intensively on saline soil.

| Sowing in the 9th lunar month, after 3 months the jujube plant can be harvested. Instead of only being harvested in the spring, when the hot weather makes the plant barren and old like wild jujube, after being domesticated, the jujube plant can be harvested all year round (about 10 months). Each crop is 3-5 days apart, each day harvests 3-5 quintals. Photo: Thanh Phuc |

| Currently, jujube has become a specialty, available in restaurants and hotels, so the output is stable and the market is very open. The selling price ranges from 15,000 - 25,000 VND/kg, earning hundreds of millions of VND/ha. Photo: Thanh Phuc |

| With the productivity and economic efficiency it brings, the model of growing jute on saline soil in Mai Hung ward (Hoang Mai town) is considered one of the solutions for converting crop structure to adapt to climate change. The desire of vegetable growers is to research and analyze the ingredients so that they can be deeply processed into jute products such as jute powder, jute tea, jute cake... Photo: Thanh Phuc |
