According to Mr. Le Van Luc - specialist in charge of crop sector, Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Do Luong district said: "Currently, the price of high-quality rice is 10 thousand VND/kg, each sao farmers can sell for 3 million VND. To achieve high-quality rice productivity, farmers have invested in seeds, fertilizers, land preparation and sowing costs 1.2 million VND/sao, which means each sao has a net profit of 1.8 million. The total income of farmers in the district is estimated at 97.2 billion VND from 2,700 hectares of high-quality rice."

According to the experience of Do Luong farmers, in this spring crop, people have been planting using improved methods, each sao only uses 2 kg of seeds, while in previous crops such as Khang Dan rice variety used up to 5 kg of seeds/sao, Thien Uu used 3 kg of seeds/sao. This method of planting shows that it saves on seed costs, ensures productivity, and reduces pests and diseases due to the lower density of rice plants.

Expanding the area of ​​high-quality rice cultivation in Do Luong has contributed to increasing farmers' income nearly twice as much as growing normal rice varieties./.
