Nam Phong commune is not only one of the district’s key sugarcane growing areas but also built and spread a growing model by tissue culture. According to statistics, the locality grew 170ha of sugarcane in this crop while over 70 percent of households in the commune earned their main income from sugarcane farming, including purple sugarcane and sugarcane juice. Vice Chairman of the communal People’s Committee Dinh Duc Lam said purple sugarcanes waiting for harvest are plentiful while over 5ha of others grown by tissue culture were sold all. In particular, sugarcanes with tissue culture are sold at 7,000 VND per tree, 1.5-fold higher than conventional ones. Since the launch of the tissue culture model in 2015, over 20 households have joined and bought seeds for cultivation. At present, many households earn hundreds of millions of VND per crop on a site of 5,000 – 7,000 sq.m.

In 2018, the district was home to nearly 2,700ha of sugarcanes, including 1,010ha of purple sugarcane and over 1,600ha of white sugarcane for juice. Purple sugarcanes grown by tissue culture were spread in the communes of Tay Phong, Nam Phong, Tan Phong, Thu Phong, Dong Phong and Xuan Phong with nearly 20ha. Farmers have so far harvested about 500ha of purple sugarcane, or nearly half of the total area. The current price is 4,000 – 6,000 VND per tree, bringing the total value to 160 – 240 million VND per ha./.
