According to Mr. Trung, over 80% of families in Nghe An and other provinces have the habit of eating salted round eggplant, so growing eggplant will easily find an outlet. Photo by Nguyen Nguyen |

| The entire area of this eggplant is invested with a drip irrigation system and is cared for in the traditional way. The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Con Cuong district regularly guides households to take care of the eggplant area in an ecological way (using organic fertilizers, safe biological care and sustainable farming), ensuring clean products.
