Mr. Ha Van Chien shared: "My family started experimenting with this lychee orange variety in 2011. Currently, our orchard has 350 trees that are producing fruit, covering an area of ​​4,000 square meters. Last year, we harvested 15 tons at an average price of about 70,000 VND/kg. This year, we expect to harvest around 18 tons." (Photo: Anh Duc)

Mr. Tran Xuan Thanh, Head of the Agriculture and Rural Development Department of Moc Chau district, said: "Through the cultivation process, the orange trees are very suitable for the climate conditions of Moc Chau, growing and developing well, producing sweet fruit with the distinctive characteristics of Moc Chau. From there, farmers in the district have propagated and developed the trees, and now the entire district has about 50 hectares of orange trees." (Photo: Anh Duc)

Moc Chau ly oranges begin to ripen in early November, with the golden-yellow oranges interspersed with the green leaves creating a unique and peaceful scene. Not only are they intensely sweet with a distinctive aroma, but Moc Chau ly oranges are also organically grown using fish protein and microbial fertilizers, ensuring safety and health for consumers.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai, a tourist from Dien Bien, shared: "When we first entered the orange orchard, the owner offered us plates of delicious, sweet, thin-skinned oranges. This was the first time I had tasted this variety. Being immersed in the natural surroundings and surrounded by beautiful, ripe yellow oranges made us feel very relaxed." (Photo: Anh Duc)
