To
date, Tam Hoa service and agricultural development cooperative has made 10
purchases of safe vegetables grown by local people, with an average
productivity of 400-500 kilogrammes per day.
According to Ha Van Quynh, director of the cooperative, the vegetables are now
bought by the cooperative at 6,000 VND per kilogramme, 2,000 VND higher than the
market price. The cooperative also commits to buy in all of the vegetables
after harvest.
The vegetables will be put on sale at safe vegetable stores and
markets in Hanoi. The supply now only satisfies one-tenth of the demand as each
day the cooperative’s partners are in need of 4-5 tonnes, he said./.

With over 80% of the area being mountainous, at an altitude of 300-400 metres above sea level, red grapefruits here thrive on well-drained, fertile hillside soil. The region’s large temperature variation between day and night enhances the fruit's nutrient absorption. The local cultivation techniques also contribute to its uniqueness
