The Youth Member Quach Thu Huong is harvesting red dragon fruit.

Realizing the potential and advantages of red dragon fruit, in 2013, Huong discussed with her family to buy 700 red dragon fruit trees from a garden house in the next commune. At first, due to lack of experience and technical skills, the caring task was difficult. However, with her hard-working and high determination, besides her time at the garden, Huong spent most of her time researching, studying materials about planting dragon fruit. Therefore, in the first harvested year, her dragon fruit garden brought back about 50 million VND to Huong’s family, and 100 million VND for the second harvest. After only 3 harvesting seasons, Huong has paid a debt of 100 million VND to invest in planting dragon fruit. Up to now, the dragon fruit garden has been harvested for 5 years, each year she collected 300 million VND, after deducting all the cost she gained 200 million VND.

Huong said that in the process of cultivating dragon fruit,  in addition to good care, technical know-how, the choice of suitable fertilizer for each soil is also very important for the quality of fruit. At present, Huong is renting more land to increase the area of red dragon fruit. Besides, in addition to finding the right learning experience, the selection of breeding places is a very important step to decide on the quality of the fruit later. Through many references and books, Huong decided to order plants in the garden near the place she lives. With this, Huong knows the origin of the seedlings, she understands that the dragon fruit garden has developed very well and one more important thing is that it is easy to learn, exchange experience when necessary.
