Currently, the entire Nghi Thuan commune produces 80 hectares, mainly growing high-yield mustard greens suitable for clay fields without a proactive water source. Especially during the production process, farmers also cover the beds with straw to retain moisture and prevent erosion, helping the plants grow quickly. In addition, using this method also reduces investment costs, protects against heat and cold, and is also a source of organic fertilizer for plant growth. Thanks to that, the yield of mustard greens reaches 7 quintals/sao (equivalent to 5 million VND/sao).

The economic efficiency of sweet cabbage opens up a new direction for Nghi Thuan people, overcoming difficulties due to complex farming terrain. The People's Committee of the commune encourages the expansion of vegetable growing areas, while promoting the transfer of science and technology for farmers to apply, improving the quality and yield of crops.
