The road to Nam Son commune (now Van Son commune – Tan Lac district) in the last days of the year was full of trucks carrying tangerines. Some garden owners said they reaped a bumper harvest this year with good prices.

Locals in Nam Son commune (now Van Son commune – Tan Lac district) are happy with the bumper harvest of tangerine.

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.

At present, all households across the commune are growing tangerines in their gardens. Many have converted their food crop areas to tangerine gardens with the hope of improving incomes.

In the 2019 crop, the total output of tangerines in the commune reached about 250 tonnes, up 100 tonnes compared to the previous year. Prices ranged between 20,000 - 25,000 VND per kg.

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.
