pomelo trees in his garden as an experiment.

kinds of pomelo trees, in the first year his family earned over 200 million VND

pomelo trees, Canh Oranges and peach-lemon trees. Along with that is the system
of indigenous pig breeding facilities including 30 female pigs and piggies.
Talking about the effectiveness of pomelo trees, Mr. Hau said that 200 pomelo
trees at the beginning brought have about 4 million VND per tree per year and

needs of the local people. At the same time, he is co-ordinated with Phu My
