(Baonghean.vn) - Although the weather this year was not favorable for orange cultivation, the yield of Bai Phu oranges is still quite high (25 tons/ha).During the harvest season, the price of oranges reaches 30,000 - 40,000 VND/kg.Estimated income ranges from 400 to 450 million VND per hectare.
 |
| At this time, many households in Dinh Son commune have begun harvesting the first oranges of the season. Mr. Tran Van Ha's family (Thang 8 Hamlet, Dinh Son commune) invested in planting 5 sao (approximately 0.5 hectares) of oranges with over 250 trees, estimating a yield of about 4 tons this year. With a selling price at the orchard of around 35,000 VND/kg depending on quality, his family is expected to earn over 150 million VND from this year's orange harvest. |
 |
| Since 2012, Dinh Son commune has implemented a project to restore the Bai Phu orange brand. The orange varieties selected for this project include Xa Doai, Van Du, and V2. |
 |
| These orange varieties possess many desirable characteristics, are well-suited to the soil, climate, and farming practices of the farmers in Dinh Son, and as a result, this year's orange yield is estimated at 20-25 tons/ha. |
 |
| Cam Bai Phu has a sweet and refreshing taste, with large, juicy, and evenly sized segments, and a round shape. |
 |
| The oranges from Bai Phu are only just beginning to ripen, but they are already fetching quite high prices, promising a bountiful harvest. Ms. Dang Thi Nham from Thang 8 village, Dinh Son commune, happily shared: "Because it's the beginning of the season, the price of oranges is high, and traders come to buy them directly from our farm, so we don't have to take them to the market to sell." |
 |
| Implementing the project to restore the Bai Phu orange brand, Dinh Son commune has supported people with loans exceeding 1 billion VND for investment and development; to date, the total area of orange orchards in the commune has reached nearly 50 hectares. Many areas have entered the high-yield stage; estimated income reaches 400-450 million VND/hectare. The Bai Phu orange specialty has established and is continuing to establish its brand in the market. This is a promising sign for the efforts to restore the Bai Phu orange brand by the people of this mountainous district. |
