Farmers in Cao Phong district have been harvesting On Chau mandarins, marking the start of the citrus fruit season in the area.

 


The harvest began in late August, and this year’s crop is reported to be bountiful with good quality fruit. Farmers are now busy picking mandarins to meet increasing demand ahead of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Ngoc Anh garden, located in Cao Phong town, has been selling mandarins since August 25, with prices ranging from 20,000 VND (0.81 USD) to 25,000 (1 USD) per kilogram. Thanks to the early harvest, many gardens avoided damage from Typhoon Yagi.

On Chau mandarins are sold not only on local markets but also in other northern localities like Hanoi, Ninh Binh, and Hai Phong. Orders are easily placed via social media, and products are shipped to consumers through local transportation services.

Cao Phong’s 3T Farm Cooperative has also begun harvesting its On Chau mandarins, with no damage reported from the recent storm. The cooperative follows VietGAP standards to ensure quality, leading to higher prices compared to other local producers. Their mandarins are sorted, labeled, and packaged carefully before delivering to customers, with the price up 5,000 USD per kilogram compared to last year.

In local markets, On Chau mandarins have been available since late August, and while the total planting area has decreased due to farmers replanting orange trees, the demand for mandarins remains high. Prices range from 16,000 VND to 30,000 VND per kilogram, depending on size and quality. The harvest season of On Chau mandarin is short, lasting about two months, with most farmers expected to finish harvesting by the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Local authorities confirm that the crop has not been affected by the recent typhoon, and the quality and prices of this year’s harvest remain stable.
