Da Nang’s farmers have been busily involved in vegetable growing and aquaculture to meet the increasing demands of local residents in the lead up to the Tet Festival.

Hundreds of vegetable growing families in Ngu Hanh Son District are hoping for a bumper crop.  Their main products are green cabbages, celery, Chinese basil, salad crops, and aromatic herbs.

Ms Nguyen Thi Lam from the district’s Khue My Ward is growing vegetables on 2 vacant lots along An Duong Vuong Street in My An Ward.  She said that she was able to earn 10 million VND per month from sales, after deducting production costs.

Hoa Vang District has also seen hectic activity over recent days as the local farmers dig the land and sow seeds.  Many families in this district’s mid-land and mountainous communes are getting involved in livestock breeding and freshwater aquaculture with the aim of earning more money from the sale of their products for the holiday.
