Guava and apples are in high demand during Tet holiday
(Baonghean.vn) - With prices ranging from 35,000 - 50,000 VND/kg of apples and guavas, 10,000 - 20,000 VND/kg higher than usual, guava and apple growers in Nam Dan district have "sold out".
Growing more than 8 sao of Taiwanese guava using fruit bagging technique, although only planted for more than 1 year, the quality of guava of Ms. Ho Thi Thuan's family in hamlet 5, Nam Anh commune (Nam Dan) has been known and trusted by many customers.

Ms. Thuan said that since the middle of the 12th lunar month, many customers have come to the garden to order both as gifts and for personal use. With the price of 30,000 VND/kg, during this Tet holiday, her family has earned more than 10 million VND. Currently, many traders and customers still come to buy but there is no more stock. This Taiwanese guava variety bears fruit continuously, so after Tet, her family will have guava to sell.

With an area of nearly 2 hectares, up to this point, all the guavas of Mr. Vo Van Danh's family in Hamlet 8, Nam Xuan Commune are also "sold out". "With a beautiful appearance, each fruit weighs over 0.5 kg on average, the quality of the fruit is sweet, crunchy, and has few seeds, so Taiwanese guava is favored by customers. The selling price at the garden this time is from 30,000 - 35,000 VND/kg. Because guava grows all year round and is harvested evenly, this time there are only more than 300 kg of guava sold on the Tet market" - Mr. Danh said.
Located along the road, apple orchards in Nam Tan commune (Nam Dan) are also very popular, with prices at the orchard ranging from 35,000 - 50,000 VND/kg, depending on the type, but many orchards have begun to run out of supplies.

Mr. Nguyen Van Hai in Hamlet 7, Nam Tan Commune said: With an area of nearly 3 sao, this year's apple crop, his family earned over 70 million VND. Currently, he has pruned some areas so that the apple trees can continue to grow for next year.
Guava and apples sold at high prices and consumed quickly during Tet are the motivation for Nam Dan farmers to continue improving product quality to serve consumers in the following years./.
