(Baonghean.vn) - In Khai Son commune, Anh Son district, hundreds of households grow bananas. Some households have around 200 trees, while others have at least a few dozen. Income from banana cultivation has helped many households escape poverty...
 |
| The family of Mr. Hoang Dinh Viet, in Hamlet 8, Khai Son Commune, Anh Son District, has been growing bananas for decades. Currently, his family cultivates over 100 Cavendish banana trees, yielding an income of 20 to 25 million VND per year. |
 |
| Bananas grown in Khai Son are uniform in size and appearance, attracting traders from places like Do Luong, Vinh, and Dien Chau who come directly to the orchards to buy them. Especially on weekends, Khai Son bananas are in high demand. |
 |
| The people of Khai Son sell bananas right in their orchards. A bunch of these bananas sells for between 400,000 and 700,000 VND. |
 |
| The banana plant has the advantage that its trunk, leaves, fruit, and flowers are all useful and marketable. |
 |
| According to Mr. Nguyen Huu Phiệt, a banana farmer in Hamlet 8, Khai Son, "Just planting seedlings, applying fertilizer once, and weeding regularly is enough to harvest fruit all year round, without needing to spend extra money on fertilizers and pesticides like other crops. Therefore, bananas grown in Khai Son are clean bananas that are favored by the market." |
