A special map of Vietnam, made entirely of eye-catching fruit, appeared at a market in the middle of Hanoi.

It is known that the special map of Vietnam is made from custard apples, a specialty of Vo Nhai district, Thai Nguyen province. As soon as it was displayed, this map of Vietnam made from custard apples received the attention and interest of tourists because it was designed with shiny green custard apples, with big round eyes, and each custard apple has a clear traceability stamp attached.

Having taken root in Vo Nhai (Thai Nguyen) for decades, custard apple has become a “poverty escape tree” and “rich-making tree” for hundreds of households in this mountainous district. Vo Nhai custard apple is favored by consumers for its delicious taste and rich sweetness.

With 700 hectares of custard apples grown in the area, of which La Hien commune is the locality with the majority of custard apple growing area in Vo Nhai district, in recent years, the issue of trade promotion for this key agricultural product has always been of interest to Vo Nhai district and the province.

Next to the special map of Vietnam made from La Hien custard apples of Vo Nhai district, a giant custard apple flower vase of Lang Son province's agricultural sector also attracts visitors' attention. The lush green Thai custard apples, each as big as two handfuls, are still attached to the branches and placed in a brown ceramic vase.

The booth of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Thai Nguyen province attracted many visitors.

Also at the market, Lang Son's custard apple specialty was displayed and introduced to visitors. In addition to the traditional custard apple variety, Lang Son's units and districts also introduced the Thai custard apple variety, with giant custard apples, some weighing over 1kg.
