This time, the families in Phay and Khe Quynh villages who received seedlings were households with experience in growing fruit trees and labor.

Through these models, it will practically contribute to Xieng My's goal of eliminating mixed gardens and building fruit tree areas with high economic value, meeting the criteria of the National Target Program on New Rural Construction.

Along with providing seedlings, technical staff of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development directly instructed people on tree planting techniques.
