Custard-apples in Dong Tam commune in Lac Thuy district have high quality thanks to hand pollination.

Hand pollination has helped to improve custard-apple quality, while enabling farmers to control harvest seasons.

Apart from the main crop in August, the hand pollination method has also created an unseasonal crop in Dong Tam in October when each kg of custard-apple is sold at the price of about 60,000-80,000 VND per. During the main crop, local farmers reaped 15-17 tonnes of custard-apple per ha. Traders from Ninh Binh, Hanoi and Ha Nam have come to buy this fruit.

Thanks to the fruit, living standards of farmers in Dong Bong and Dai Dong have been improved significantly. This year, Dong Bong custard-apple grown by the Dong Tam Service Cooperative has joined the "One Commune, One Product” programme.

To support the cooperative and farmers, Dong Tam authorities have partnered with the district’s Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Development to invite consulting agencies that have helped the cooperative with necessary procedures.

At the same time, the bureau has step up the communication work to encourage local farmers to pay more attention to custard-apple growing techniques. The commune is working towards VietGap standards in custard-apple growing in 2021.''

Both authorities and people in Dong Tam hope that the product will meet provincial OCOP standards this year, helping to promote the brand name of Dong Dong custard-apple. /.
