(HBO) - As a typical farmer doing good business in the locality, Mr. Ly Van Diem in Ngoc Ha village, Hop Thanh commune (Ky Son) owns a comprehensive economic model for earning hundreds of millions of dongs a year. As a person interested in researching, he actively explored and decided to grow sachi trees to develop family economics.



The model of planting sachi of Mr. Ly Van Diem’s family in Ngoc Ha village, Hop Thanh commune (Ky Son) initially brought high economic efficiency.

Taking us to the garden, pointing at the green sachi trees, Mr. Diem shared: Through researching via the internet, books, newspapers and visiting models inside and outside the province, recognizing that sachi trees would bring a high economic value while only investing to plant once but for many years. If science and technology are applied properly in planting and caring, the tree will certainly grow well, without pestilent problems, the economic efficiency will surely be high. After being trained in techniques of planting, caring and pest controlling, in April, 2017, he bravely participated in the model of planting sachi plants invested and sponsored by Inca Vietnam joint Stock Company. He started to improve and convert 1 hectare of inefficient garden land and sugarcane planting land into planting 2,000 sachi trees.

Sachi is a multi-use plant that can be utilized most parts of the plant for processing food, cosmetics and even pharmaceuticals. Being the first person in the local to riskily choose new varieties for economic development, he is sometimes worried about the efficiency and quality of the plant. However, the trees quite fits with the land and the climate in the mountain, the sachi garden gradually grows, every tree grows to develop branches, shoots, strong leaves. After more than half a year, the leaves were able to be harvested and fortune-fruit began. Post - harvested products are consumed by the company. Up to now, Mr. Diem’s family has collected the leaves for three times to give the company for sale at 10,000 VND / kg fresh leaves and 40,000 VND / kg dry leaves. Because of new planted trees, the fruit was only fortune collected, so far, so he collected 20 kg of fruit in the first harvest, with the price of 30,000 VND / kg dry fruit and 50,000 VND / kg seeds. "Sachi is a year-round harvesting crop with a year-on-year increase in crop yields and a stable price for the company. Only in the first year, my family could earn more than ten million dongs. With this trend, we can get back our investment soon and have our profits in some years only”- Mr. Diem confirmed.
