(HBO) - Along with agricultural production, people in Luong Duoi Village, Ngo Luong Commune (Tan Lac) have utilized favorable climate and soil conditions to develop the model of growing Vau trees in the expectations of raising income.


Vau trees contribute to increase the income of the local people in the commune.

 

Through the common knowledge, Vau trees have appeared in the commune for a long time and they have been planted in sloping areas and areas with soil. The Vau tree area in Luong Duoi village has been expanded to 100 hectares, occupying 2/3 of the total area of Vau trees in the commune. In particular, many households in the village have expanded the area and selected Vau as the key economic crops to bring high economic effectiveness, typically as the family of Mr. Bui Van Bang, Bui Van Thuat, Bui Van Quyen, etc.

We visited Mr. Bui Van Bang's family in Luong Duoi village, one of the most effective growing Vau households. At present, the area of ​​Vau trees of Mr Bang expanded over 3 hectares and became the main source of income of his family. Mr. Bang said:"In the past, my family developed a maize-based economy, with a net profit of less than VND10 million a year, and our living condition was very poor.Recognizing the economic value of Vau trees in the surrounding area, I started to learn how to do and expanded the Vau tree area with our hopes of income improvement. At the market price, Vau trees are priced at around VND10,000 / tree, which can be sold partly each part of the trees according to the needs of purchasing from the sellers. Specifically, Vau shoots are collected for food at the price of VND 6,000-7,000 / kg. The Vau shells (also known as the Mo Vau) is priced at VND 200 /one being used as a material for producing conical hats, the body trees can be  priced at about 7,000 VND for building materials and handicrafts. Thanks to the effective development of the model, in 2017, my family earned a profit of 30 million VND. Only in April and May of 2018, my family earned 12 million VND from the sale of the Vau barks. Currently, Vau is sold mainly to traders From Hanoi, Hai Duong.

Mr. Bui Van Phong, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Ngo Luong Commune said: "In the past few years, the model of Vau tree growing in Luong Duoi village has brought about practical effects, contributing to hunger eradication and poverty reduction. In the area, the local people have planted more than 150 hectares of Vau trees scattered in the villages.
