The model of growing chilli for export is in pilot implemention in An Phu village, An Lac commune (Lac Thuy).
As being the commune selected to implement the model of chilli planting, An Lac commune is located 18 km away from the center of the district. The living condition of most people here is very difficult. The implementation of linking production in the value chain in agriculture will ensure the formation of concentrated commodity production areas and stabilize output for agricultural products to reduce the market risks, increasing the scale of production applying science – technology, increasing the key products of the locality, linking the participation of the State - enterprises - cooperatives and farmers in the value chain. An Lac Agriculture Service Cooperative, Vietnam Chili Limited Company and farmers in An Lac Commune implemented the model on the project area of 4 hectares with 10 households of An Phu village to participate from 0.3- 0.5 hectares. To implement the model, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in coordination with An Lac commune and other functional units held a conference to propagate, launch the content of the projects, guiding farmers to register for technical training for farmers and witnessing the signing ceremony of the contract of linking and consuming the products; monitoring the implementation of the contract between the parties. The local people started sowing seeds in mid-October, 2017. After about 1 month nursing, bythe middle of November, they were planted in the field. By March, 2018, they were ready for harvest. As a result, the fruit was big,long and ripe at the same time, fruit was at the weight of 70 items / kg, equivalent to the yield of 1.2 tons / miles. With the average selling price of 5,000 VND / kg, after deducting the cost, the income was at over VND 4.7 million / mile. The farmers earned 131 million VND in each hectare, which was much higher income than maize growing.
Thanks to the effective model from An Phu village, in 2018, the area of chilli planting for export has been expanded in the district. An Lac commune has expanded to 6 hectares, 5 hectares in Hung Thi commune, 4 hectares in Lac Long and 2 hectaresin Chi Ne town.
