Thung Bung area has good soil quality, which has not been exploited. After surveying and finding that the soil here is rich and fertile, suitable for growing orange trees, Thien An orange farm leveled the ground, renovated and invested in developing orange trees.

In particular, Thung Bung is surrounded on all four sides by mountain ranges, located far from residential areas, isolated from the outside, avoiding epidemics, which is good for growing orange trees.

Developing orange trees here not only exploits and develops the land potential but also creates good conditions for Con Cuong district to develop its strengths in eco-tourism.
