Don Nhan commune in the northern province of Vinh Phuc is characterised with its clay and sandy soil, suitable for growing guavas. For the past decades, local people in Don Nhan have escaped poverty thanks to guava cultivation. Visiting Don Nhan, one can find many specialty guava varieties such as Taiwan guava, queen guava, Thai guava and pear guava. Each year, each guava tree can produce up to 70 kilograms of fruits, bringing stable income for guava farmers. Some households have also earned OCOP 3-star for their guavas, helping to develop local guava brands and encouraging expansion of guava cultivation area. VNA Photo: Hoàng Hùng
