On November 19, 2024, the Biostadt delegation visited the gardens of effective crops that account for a large proportion of Vietnam’s agricultural export turnover in 2024 to find solutions to bring profits to farmers and reduce production costs in the face of fluctuations in the export situation as well as seasonal weather. The first stop of the delegation was to visit the Malaysian coconut growing model at Cho Gao market, Tien Giang province – a tree that has just been added to the list of trees exported to the billion-people market. Here, the garden owner shared that thanks to the flexibility and quick conversion of the crop structure, the family’s income has improved while waiting for the off-season dragon fruit lighting season to catch up with the price.
However, the difficulty of coconut growers today is that traders set the standard age for harvesting coconuts from 45 days old, leading to the situation that coconut trees have to anchor fruit for too long, leading to the situation that coconut trees yield every year, so they do not reach the fruit yield for the people. With this information, the Group will propose solutions to support gardeners to cultivate more optimally in the near future.
Mr. Huzefa – representative from Biostadt Group also learned more about Vietnam’s custom of using lamps to handle the off-season in the process of flowering dragon fruit trees. It can be said that this is a crop that has helped many people in this raw material area escape poverty, but is currently also heavily dependent on the export market through neighboring countries. People here often joke with each other “in the past, we had to eat and bear with it, so now we also try to stick with it day by day to catch the price”.
Understanding the concerns of the people of the dragon fruit region, the Delegation will also record information to find a farming solution to “Minimize production costs” for the people in the face of this fluctuation.
The final stop of the whole delegation was a crop that can be said to be a “hot trend” of Vietnamese Agriculture and is also an agricultural product that is on par with neighboring Thailand in terms of quality and cultivation process – a country that has made its mark with the Monthong durian variety that has been registered as a trademark.
If “our friend” Thailand has the fatty, milky yellow Mongthon durian variety, then Vietnam has the Ri6 durian variety with golden yellow flesh and a sweet taste, which is also being prioritized for import by the billion-people market because it suits the tastes of the people here.
