All members have a high level of intensive farming, mastering science and technology, paying more attention to water sources, improving clean soil, taking care of and fertilizing under clean production process. Three months before collecting oranges, they have stopped spraying plant protection drugs. The orange fruits have thin peels, succulent, sweet taste, yellow cloves.

Many of the orange growers are happy with the current increasing selling prices. Cao Phong continues to have a good golden crop.
