From terraced fields, which are difficult to do, the unit advised the people to consolidate fields, consolidating many fields into one large area. The construction time was urgent, the terrain was difficult, but thanks to the efforts of the company and the hard work of Thai ethnic women, the rice field was successful.
Mr. Phan Vinh Hoa said that 4 varieties of colored rice were planted including: 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 period; it is expected to serve tourists until mid-May.
