From terraced fields, which are difficult to work with, the unit advised the people to consolidate fields and exchange plots, consolidating many fields into a large area. The construction time was urgent, the terrain was difficult, but thanks to the efforts of the company and the diligence of Thai ethnic women, the rice fields were successful.
Mr. Phan Vinh Hoa said that the 4 varieties of colored rice grown include: Vinh Hoa 1 purple herbal medicine, Vinh Hoa 2 red herbal medicine, Vinh Hoa 2 white herbal medicine, Vinh Hoa 2 yellow herbal medicine. The total number of varieties introduced is 48kg, the estimated yield of herbal rice in Con Cuong is 7 tons/ha.
To serve tourists, Con Cuong district has built huts to view and take photos of the rice fields. Currently, the rice is in the blooming season; it is expected to serve tourists until mid-May.
