Hi-economic efficiency
Nguyen Thi Kim Lien residing in Di An town’s Tan Binh ward said that she is now the owner of a 2,000-squ.m rock melon farm under Israeli technologies and
Similarly, Lu Van Tuyen, from Hai Duong province said that he spent more than VND1billion on developing a safe vegetables growing model in Tan Binh ward four years ago. Thanks to the attention and help of the town’s Division of Economics, his production model has worked stably. Currently, his family can supply the market with around 200 kg of various vegetables with the average price of 15,000 per kg.
Noticeably, he has successfully researched and developed a 300-squ.m chocolate cherry tomato garden with the selling price of between VND80,000 and VND100,000 per kg. Realizing hi-economic efficiency from chocolate cherry tomato, he has decided to further develop this new kind of plant.
Improving urban agricultural quality
According to the town’s Division of Economics, the whole town is now home to around 70 urban agricultural models with more than 10 hectares in total. Most of them have upheld their hi-economic efficiency with the average income of VND600million per hectare per year.

The town is expected to further boost training courses on sci-tech transfer, increase a task of supporting loans for farmers to promote various plants and animals with hi-economic efficiency. Especially, the town will attach special importance to developing cooperatives and cooperation groups among farmers, contributing to bringing a stable consumption market to them.
