At this time, 3 sao of specialized vegetables of Ms. Nguyen Thi Hai in Hoi Lam village, Cam Son commune have begun to be harvested. According to Ms. Hai, although the climate this year is erratic, with heavy rain at the beginning of the season and then prolonged hot weather, causing the vegetable plants to grow slowly, stagnate for a short time, and productivity to decrease compared to previous years, in return, this year the prices are quite high and stable, so people are very excited. On average, cabbage is 10,000 VND/head, green beans are 9,000 VND/kg, the first crop is 15,000 VND/kg.
Previously, realizing that this year's weather would be hot and dry for a long time, Ms. Hai's family prepared the land and planted winter vegetables such as cabbage, kohlrabi, green beans, and mustard greens earlier than other people in the area.
