This place in Quang Tri is hot as hell, the sand is white, how can farmers grow this kind of tree to make high profits?

Nem is one of the crops with high economic efficiency on the sandy coastal lands of Quang Tri, bringing a stable source of income for farmers.

Planting neem trees helps loosen sandy soil and increase soil fertility. Neem trees can withstand heat, drought and waterlogging quite well, the technique of planting neem trees is simple and easy to do.

This tree is less susceptible to pests and diseases, grows well, so it is easy to develop on a large scale, takes little time to care for but gives high income, especially when grown organically, it gives even higher income.

The sandy land of Trieu Lang commune is relatively large, so crops grown on sand are less suitable, have low productivity and depend heavily on weather factors. Only the Winter-Spring crop can be produced, while the Summer-Autumn crop is almost abandoned, causing flying sand and jumping sand, making the land infertile.

The problem of selecting plants for planting on sand is very difficult, requiring a large economic and technical investment. Based on that meaning, in the 2023-2024 Winter-Spring crop, with the support of the FMCR project board, the People's Committee of Trieu Lang commune coordinated with the Quang Tri Agricultural Extension Center to implement a model of planting and caring for the cattail plant in an organic direction.

The location for implementing the organic tree planting model is in Trieu Lang commune, Trieu Phong district with an area of ​​2 hectares.

Initially, this model of growing root crops as spices has brought certain results, creating a change in crop structure and orienting the building of the Trieu Lang spice brand in the coming time.

Although grown on poor sandy soil, with adequate and balanced fertilization, increased amounts of decomposed manure, microbial organic fertilizers and organic mineral fertilizers, and proper technical care, the tree grows well and yields high tuber yields.

The organic tree planting model was implemented in Trieu Lang commune, Trieu Phong district, Quang Tri province.

In previous years, people grew the nem tree using traditional methods, using a lot of chemical fertilizers, so the nem tree initially grew lush and green, but had many pests and quickly withered, and the yield was not high.

Now, the organic model of growing rice on sandy soil in the 2023-2024 Winter-Spring crop has created a breakthrough in transforming crop structure, bringing high efficiency.

Through this model of growing neem trees to get tubers as spices, people have grasped the techniques of planting, caring for and preventing pests and diseases on neem trees effectively, thereby creating a basis for replicating the model, moving towards planning concentrated areas for growing neem trees for the locality in the coming years.

The successful organic production model has increased the production value per production unit, helped people grasp new technical advances, and created more livelihoods for people to contribute to caring for, protecting, and managing coastal forests in Trieu Lang commune, Trieu Phong district (Quang Tri province) more effectively.

The results of the model help people boldly exploit the potential strengths of sandy land, creating a breakthrough in transforming crop structure, adapting to climate change, bringing high efficiency and sustainability in production.

Help people understand the technical process to apply to intensive production of plants on sand, including composting manure, increasing decomposed organic fertilizers, microbial fertilizers, organic minerals, limiting chemical fertilizers, making sandy soil increasingly fertile, and crop production bringing high economic efficiency.

Compared to other crops, the nem tree is suitable for coastal sandy land, less susceptible to pests and diseases, easy to invest in intensive cultivation and care, does not require too much labor, suitable for women or older workers, average investment level, but brings high profits (3-4 times higher than growing peanuts, potatoes, cassava), has a wide consumer market, is harvested once, does not require much labor like beans, sesame...

The organic sand planting model in Trieu Lang commune has raised awareness in organic agricultural production, gradually creating clean, environmentally friendly products, minimizing pollution and protecting the living environment and field ecosystem.

The model also helps limit the use of chemical fertilizers, replacing them with organic and microbial fertilizers, so the plants are strong, healthy, relatively free of pests and diseases, with fragrant and rich quality, and bring about positive results, with high replicability, so it is recommended that departments continue to pay attention.

Mr. Dang Quang Hai - Chairman of the People's Committee of Trieu Lang Commune, Trieu Phong District (Quang Tri Province) said: In the coming time, the local government will continue to have policies to encourage people to reclaim and restore sandy areas for growing rice.

Planning growing areas, forming concentrated specialized areas for throwing, production on a group-household scale to contribute to exploiting the potential strengths of coastal sand areas, moving towards building raw material production areas and building the Trieu Lang clean throwing brand to increase product value and expand the consumption market.
