Every year, together with stabilizing the
area of rice with an average yield of about 5 tons / ha, the commune still
grows some industrial plants and vegetables. The commune maintains a stable
area of 120-150 ha of sugarcane, which is now a source of high income for the
local people although the price is unstable. The commune has about 300 ha of
pomelo trees, of which nearly one third area has been harvested.
Tan Huong, Tan Lai and some other hamlets
have developed like a city in the village from pomelo tree growing. The commune
is orienting its people to invest in intensive farming, implementing safe
pomelo production processes in accordance with VietGap standards in order to
preserve the brand name of Tan Lac red pomelo trees. Along with rice, pomelo
trees, cassava and citronella have been introduced into forested areas, which
mainly planted acacia and maize with inefficient production of about 65 ha in
hamlets 1, 3 and Tam hamlet.

fattening buffalo movement, concentrated in Chieng Dong village. The local
people are looking to buy thin buffaloes and cattle to fatten them in the form
of captive state, growing grass combining with growing sugarcane to get sugar

sells 2 - 3 times a year. Buying buffaloes with a price of 20 million each, and
