This year 2018, Tuong Duong district has been continuously affected by storms. Water from streams and creeks flows to deposit alluvium on both sides of Lam river, which has been used by people in Tam Quang, Tam Dinh, Tam Thai, Thach Giam, Xa Luong, and Luu Kien communes to grow local red sweet potatoes.

According to the locals, the local red sweet potato variety is suitable for the climate and soil, so it has high yield; the red sweet potato is soft, fragrant and sweet, and is favored by consumers. In particular, the potato variety here is grown by the locals themselves, so it takes less effort and cost.
