Quynh Lien commune has nearly 300 hectares of production land, of which people grow 80 - 100 hectares of chayote every year, with an annual output of 15,000 - 18,000 tons of chayote. However, because people produce in the traditional way, the main consumption market is in markets inside and outside the province. Therefore, prices are unstable, even stagnant for many years, requiring rescue, chayote growers have not had high income.
Chayote products of Quynh Lien commune - Hoang Mai town have been granted a collective trademark certificate by the Intellectual Property Office since 2016./.
