According to the study, the Sachi (Sacha
Inchi) plant is originated in the Amazon forest, where indigenous INCA people
have used for thousands of years as a health and longevity food supplement.
Sachi is currently being grown in some Southeast Asian countries such as
Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, etc. In Vietnam, Inca Vietnam joint Stock Company
being operated by Ms. Le Thi Van is the first company to conduct planting
trials and mass commercialization of Sachi trees.
Recalling the failure of planting Sachi
plants in Da Bac upland, Ms. Van said that it was due to the lack of experience
and doing, vice versa, she found out, analyzed the cause and inadequate
problems to overcome. Throughout the year of 2016, she coordinated with
Associate Professor Tram to study, formulate the process of developing raw
materials area. Along with that, she travels throughout the districts, cities
in the province, including the surrounding provinces to promote, advocate, and
find growers. However, she did not continue planting in the failed area.
Thanks to her passion and enthusiasm, up to
now, Sachi material plantation area has been expanded to 10 out of 11 districts
and city (excluding Lac Thuy district) with an area of 50 hectares inside and
50 hectares outside the province. Although the plantation is in the model
stage, Sachi trees have initially created trust for farmers by bringing in
stable income and output. The Company contracts with household groups and
organizes the purchase of all raw materials of the farmers with 10-year
contracts. Not only did the Company harvest Sachi fruit like other businesses,
but it also bought leaves for growers. "Seeing is better than
hearing", when the actual results are clear, the reliability of the
growers for the business is improved. The Sachi growers feel more believable
that they can get the long-term income from Sachi plantation, because the
plantation circle of Sachi trees is about ten years, they do not worry about
the output, and the income is 3-5 times higher than growing corn and rice.
