(HBO) - Taking advantage of the cool weather conditions of Quyen Chien Highland Commune, Mr. Bui Van Tan, Doi Village, Tuan Lo Commune, Tan Lac District has bravely leased land to invest in growing "imported” vegetables, which are originated from Korea with varieties such as radish, green onion, cabbage and cauliflower ... with initial effectiveness.


Mr. Bui Van Tan, Doi Village, Tuan Lo Commune (Tan Lac) checked the Korean radish seedlings.

 In May of 2017, Tan decided to go to Quyet Chien and survey the soil in Bieng village and found that it was suitable for growing varieties of vegetables. He negotiated with his family to rent the land areas of 8 households with an area of nearly 1.5 hectares in 5 years with the rent of 23 million VND / ha. During the implementation, he was assisted by GNI Project (Good Neighbors International), a Korean non-governmental organization that supports the growers who plant vegetables originated from South Korea. The project has supported his family in terms of technology. At the same time, the GNI Project acts as an intermediary to connect enterprises in product consumption. So, he was more confident when implementing the model.

 

With the Korean radish variety, Tan has planted 5,000 m2 and 1,200 m2 of green onion. It depends on the different seasons and planting time, for example, the summer crop of radish will take about 55 - 65 days, the winter crop takes about 65-75 days to harvest, the weight is also different. At this time, the weather is still cold, the radish grows well so the weight reaches at 2.4 kg / the biggest bulb, the average is 1.2 kg / bulb. They are selling at the price of 12,000 VND / kg (if being planted in the summer, the sale price is up to 18,000 - 20,000 VND / kg). With green onions, he can harvest only after 4 months. The average weight of 3 gr / one green onion and it is selling at the price of 20,000 VND / kg.

 

Mr. Bui Van Tan shared: Growing Korean vegetables and roots gives very high productivity. By the end of 2017, my family earned 15 tons of radishes, 2 tons of green onions, collected more than 100 million VND after deducting all the expenses. By the beginning of 2018, turnips and green onion products will be harvested; the yield is expected to be higher than in the previous year. Apart from productivity and output, factors of design and product quality must be taken into consideration. To satisfy the customers’ expectation, the products must be beautiful in design but absolute safe in quality for consumers, so the products can be sustainable. Therefore, my radish and green onion products do not meet the demand.

 

It can be said that the model of planting "imported" vegetables of Mr. Bui Van Tan has many prospects, bringing many clean and new products of upland communes to the market. In the upcoming time, he plans to grow in all the land which he has rented and created jobs for local households at the same time.
