On weekends, Duy Khanh vineyard in Hip village, Chieng Ngan commune, City welcomes visitors. Black grapes are grown in a garden house with a transparent nylon roof; the rows of grapes are covered with tarps. The rows of grapes are laden with grapes, carefully tended, in straight rows, and are ready for harvest, bringing a new experience to visitors. Many families come here to visit, take photos and hand-cut the bunches of grapes they like to buy as gifts.
Mr. Dao Duy Khanh, Director of Duy Khanh Trading Joint Stock Company, shared: We started planting black grapes in 2019. Initially, we encountered many difficulties in caring for the grapes due to the influence of weather and climate factors, causing many grapevines to be infected with pests and diseases. To overcome this, the Company invested in dome houses, irrigation systems, and strictly followed the grape growing and care process. In particular, we regularly prune the fruit, cut off the fruits that are pressed against each other when the grapes are still green, so that the grape clusters are even, of standard size, and develop proportionally. Currently, we have 2,000 grapevines, each year we harvest 2 crops in June and December, each crop yields an average of 10 tons, selling for 120-180,000 VND/kg, deducting expenses, earning more than 1 billion VND.
The Company's grape products have been certified for safe production; certified as a 3-star provincial OCOP product. The products have been invested in packaging labels, origin traceability stamps, and are qualified to be supplied and sold at supermarket systems and clean fruit retail chains in some neighboring provinces and cities. In addition to economic efficiency, the Company also opens its doors to welcome visitors to visit and experience the vineyard with the desire to promote agricultural products associated with tourism development. In the past month, Duy Khanh vineyard has attracted about 300 visitors to visit and experience.
Mr. Nguyen Van Truong, a visitor from Hung Ha district, Thai Binh province, was delighted: This is the first time I have come to Son La city and experienced visiting a garden of ripe grapes. Learning about the grape care process, cutting and enjoying fresh bunches of grapes right in the garden, I really enjoyed it.
In Hua La commune, Loi Van vineyard of Mr. Bui Viet Hung's family, Hoang Van Thu village, has also begun to harvest this year's crop. The black summer grapes are grown in a greenhouse, equipped with an automatic irrigation system. Each row of grapes is straight, heavy with fruit that is dark red and gradually turns purple-black. Family members are harvesting the ripe bunches of grapes, cutting the stems, arranging them in boxes, and supplying them to the market.
Talking to us, Mr. Hung shared: With 2,700 grape trees, this year, the family is expected to harvest about 10 tons. To let more people know about my vineyard, I have promoted, advertised, and introduced the product through friends and on social networking sites, social platforms such as Facebook, TikTok... Currently, my family's grape products are being supplied to consumers through wholesale markets, a chain of safe stores and supermarkets in Hanoi as well as some other localities in the province and across the country. My family also proactively connects with cooperatives to link production according to the value chain, gradually building brands, enhancing value and promoting clean agricultural products in the area.
After 7 years of taking root, the Ha Den grape tree adapted to the climate and soil conditions and brought higher economic efficiency, contributing to the gradual shift in crop structure, diversifying products, and promoting local economic development.
