Gio Chau Commune is a locality that has produced flowers and ornamental plants for many years and has built a brand. The commune has the advantage of being a semi-mountainous area, with an agricultural land area of 922 hectares. The highlight is that people have focused on investing capital and science and technology to develop a model of growing flowers and ornamental plants in the direction of large-scale production, with stable output links instead of growing flowers and ornamental plants in the previous small-scale model.
Gio Chau Commune Party Secretary Nguyen Huu Thi said that the Gio Chau Commune Party Committee and People's Committee have implemented many plans and solutions to encourage and facilitate the development of flower and ornamental plant growing models, achieving high efficiency, generating income and creating jobs for many local workers. The development of flower growing also leads to the development of other industries such as flower pot casting, transportation services, fertilizers, etc.
Since around 2006, two men, Tran Ngoc Diep and Tran Ngoc Nhan (Ha Trung village, Gio Chau commune) have invested in developing a model of growing flowers and ornamental plants for Tet with main types such as chrysanthemums, roses, gerberas, lilies..., and have achieved many successes since 2007.
This is the motivation for Mr. Diep and Mr. Nhan to continue investing in developing a variety of flower and ornamental plant models on a larger scale with high economic value, while directly producing flower seedlings to both directly serve their own models and supply the market inside and outside the province.
In addition, they also enthusiastically advise, guide, share experiences, science and technology, support capital, flower seedlings... for people who want to learn to build flower and ornamental plant growing models. From the effective pioneering model of Mr. Diep and Mr. Nhan, many farmers in Gio Chau commune and some neighboring localities have learned and expanded the model of growing chrysanthemums and some other types of flowers, bringing a stable source of income.
Mr. Tran Ngoc Diep said that on average, every year, he grows over 3,000 pots of chrysanthemums of various types, gerberas, lilies, marigolds, dahlias, primroses, bougainvillea, kumquat trees...; produces and supplies about 400,000 chrysanthemum seedlings to local flower growers, neighboring communes and markets in Quang Binh, Thua Thien Hue...
The average annual profit is from 300 million VND or more; creating stable jobs for 7 local workers and dozens of seasonal workers. Currently, Mr. Diep continues to invest in a flower and ornamental plant model to serve the Lunar New Year of Giap Thin 2024 with a larger scale in terms of quantity and quality of flowers and ornamental plants, in time to bring them to the market to serve customers and visitors in early spring.
Talking to us, Mr. Tran Ngoc Nhan said that this year, the weather is quite favorable for people to grow flowers. However, in the context of the difficult economy, it will also have some impact on the production and business of Tet flowers. As someone with a lot of experience in flower growing, Mr. Nhan will continue to invest in the 2024 Lunar New Year flower crop on a larger scale.
Up to now, he has planted more than 3,000 pots of chrysanthemums, lilies, gerberas, roses... and they are growing well. He also directly produces chrysanthemum varieties in larger quantities than last year, with about 1.50-1.7 million seedlings to serve the market demand in and outside the province. These days, Mr. Nhan is focusing on taking care of flowers and ornamental plants to deliver goods to traders according to contracts and selecting beautiful flowers and plants to display and sell at Fidel Park, Dong Ha City.
In addition to the large-scale flower and ornamental plant growing model of Mr. Diep and Mr. Nhan, in Gio Chau commune there are about 50 households growing chrysanthemums and some other types of flowers on a small scale, with an area of about 4 hectares.
Most of these flower growers take chrysanthemum seeds from Mr. Diep and Mr. Nhan's model to grow. Although they grow flowers on a small scale right in their home gardens, the flower growers still have enough experience, applying scientific and technical advances to grow and care for flowers to achieve high results. Therefore, many traders and consumers inside and outside the district still come to buy flower products right at the place of production, ensuring stable output for flower growers in Gio Chau commune.
With favorable weather conditions and a lot of effort, dedication and capital invested in growing flowers and ornamental plants according to the seasonal plan, people hope to continue to reap a successful Tet flower crop, contributing to affirming the Gio Chau flower brand in the market inside and outside the province.
