The tangerine variety in Nam Son is an old indigenous one, which was restored in 2005.According to statistics, the commune has 105 hectares of land under this variety of tangerine, of which about 25 hectares are in harvest season.

This fruit variety is suitable with the local soil and climate, and it has been defined as a key plant to help local people reduce poverty.

In addition to expanding the area under tangerines, households operating homestay services in Chien hamlet also organize tours for visitors to experience fruit caring and picking activities. Tourists can enjoy the fruit right at the garden.

Chairman of the commune’s People’s Committee Bui Van Lung said locals are very happy because both the output and prices of the fruit in the 2019 crop increased over the previous year.

The Intellectual Property Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology also granted a certificate recognising the collective trademark of Nam Son – Tan Lan tangerines, which helped promote this fruit in the domestic market./.
