(HBO) - Households in Bai Von hamlet, Dinh Cu commune (Lac Son district, Hoa Binh province) have cooperated with enterprises to pilot the model of pumpkin cultivation for seeds. The model initially proved effective as it brings higher profits than other traditional crops.
Cultivation area of
pumpkin-for-seeds of Mrs. Bui Thi Tinh’s family in Bai Von hamlet, Dinh Cu commune, Lac Son
district, brings high economic efficiency.
Specifically, if the yield on the area of
1,000 m2 is 17 kg of seeds, the company will buy at 880,000 VND/kg, higher than
the average of 840,000 VND/kg.
We visited Mrs. Bui Thi Vinh’s family in
Bai Von hamlet at the harvest season of pumpkins. Compared to the two previous
crops, Tinh’s family had a bumper crop. Tinh said her family started developing
the model at the beginning of 2017 with a cultivation area of only 800m2. Thanks
to the support and assistance of the company, after about 80 days, her family’s
pumpkin garden was harvested, bringing profit of about 8 million VND.
She said her family decided to transfer more
than 3,000 sq.m of agricultural land to the cultivation of pumpkin-for-seeds.
After the last winter-spring crop, Tinh’s family collected 5,000 pumpkins. Each
70 fresh pumpkins offer 1kg of dried seeds, which is at price of 840,000
VND/kg. The family collected about 50 million VND after deducting all costs.
Tinh added that the model is very suitable
for soil and climate conditions in the locality.
This plant is healthy, easy to care for
and suffers fewer pests. In addition, it only takes famers 80 days to harvest from
the date of seedling. Pumpkin should be planted on high and good drainage areas.
Currently, the area of pumpkin-for-seeds in
Bai Von hamlet has been expanded to nearly 1 ha with 5 households joining the
model. In order to achieve the highest efficiency, the involved households
regularly share experience and growing techniquesto support each other. /.
