Quynh Luu has a big win in the summer-autumn onion crop.

(Baonghean.vn)- At this time, people in the coastal areas of Quynh Luu district are actively going to the fields to harvest green onions in the joy of a good harvest and good prices.

Quynh Luong is the largest vegetable growing area in the district with an area of ​​over 130 hectares. Starting from August, people have focused on growing green onions to replace some other vegetable growing areas. Thanks to favorable weather and little rain, green onions have grown well and have high yields.

Quynh Luu farmers go to the field to harvest green onions.

Mrs. Ho Thi Huong's family (Hamlet 3, Quynh Luong) has 3 sao of land for growing vegetables, of which 2 sao are for harvesting green onions. Mrs. Huong said: "The weather is cool, there is no rain or flooding so green onions grow quickly, on average my family harvests nearly 2 tons of green onions per sao, almost double the previous crop. This crop, the price of onions is also high at 9,000 VND - 10,000 VND/kg so farmers earn a profit of 15 million VND/sao, the highest since the beginning of the year."

Favorable weather helps green onions grow well, yielding 35 tons/ha; current onion price is 9 - 10 thousand VND/kg.

Similarly, this year, farmers in Quynh Bang commune also won big in the onion crop. Ho Thi Hoa's family grows 5 sao of onions, and if harvested, will reach nearly 10 tons, earning 90-100 million VND/crop. "In previous crops, the price of onions was only 3,000-5,000 VND/kg, if the onions were good, the profit would be 4-6 million VND/crop. However, this crop's price is twice as high, so all onion growers have income," said Hoa.

From August to October of the solar calendar, people in the coastal areas of Quynh Luu district mainly produce green onions. The growing period of green onions from planting to harvesting is from 35 to 45 days.

Traders come to the field to buy green onions.

People transport onions to the gathering place for cars to transport them for sale.

This year, the price of green onions is high because onion processing facilities in some northern provinces such as Ninh Binh buy a lot and some provinces such as Hanoi, Hai Phong, Hue, Da Nang... buy early, pushing the price of onions higher than in previous years.

At this time, every day Quynh Luu farmers sell hundreds of tons of green onions to the market. Of which, Quynh Luong commune sells about 50-60 tons of green onions/day.

Farmers in the coastal area of ​​Quynh Luu district have just harvested and planted green onions.

The entire Quynh Luu district has 1,200 hectares of vegetable growing area in the 2016 summer-autumn crop, of which the communes of Quynh Luong, Quynh Minh, and Quynh Bang grow green onions with a total area of ​​nearly 300 hectares. The yield of green onions in the summer-autumn crop reaches over 35 tons/ha.

Currently, people in the coastal areas are continuing to harvest green onions and at the same time planting seeds for the next crop. People produce 3-4 crops of green onions per year.
