Comparing to other types of fruits, Taiwan-originated mangoes are new in cultivation of Binh Duong Province. Stable output and prices should be helpful for farmers to reach for prosperity. Mr. Hoa makes frequent visit to his mango orchard to take care of disease potentials Mr. Diep Van Hoa, 1976, a farmer residing at Gia Bien Hamlet, Tam Lap, Phu Giao, has succeeded in initiating cultivation model of Taiwanese mangoes which could yield over VND 400 million a year.Hoa was from Tuyen Quang Province. In 2000, he came to Binh Duong Province to settle down. At first, he chose cultivation of cashew and rubber trees while planting mangoes for home taste. Recognizing proper garden soil for mangoes, he started up with economically high yield mangoes in a bid of earning big.After investigating the benefits, he decided to start an orchard of Taiwanese mangoes which were considered as high fruit yield, especially in the first year of cultivation not like many other breeds. Taiwanese mango yields huge fruit at averagely 1-1.5kg with thick, tense, and sweet flesh even when green. The growth is outstanding; thus, in 2010, he chose to plant the first 150 trees on 1.5 ha of land after buying seedlings from Southern Researching Institute in Tien Giang Province at the cost of VND 6,000 per seedling.According to Hoa, the plant is easy to catch root and adaptive to environment. Planting hole should be 80cm in diameter and 50-60cm depth. Annually, fertilizer should be administered twice, once before flower bloom and once after fruit harvest. Running, high levering soil is optimal for the plant to grow.However, farmers should be cautious and aware of green bugs, wax covering bugs, and insect borers to maintain good growth. Averagely, one tree can bear over 30 fruits. Annually, Hoa’s orchard could yield two crops on lunar new year and lunar May 5.“We can harvest by March and November by good practice of soil treatments and fertilizer administration,” he said.After two crops, he harvested over 6 tons of mangoes, making up profit of over VND 400 million after deducting costs for VND 15,000 to 17,000 per kilo.What worries Hoa most is the selling of Taiwanese mangoes which might ‘fright people away’ due to its sizes so similar to Chinese-originated mangoes.Thus, Hoa called upon support of cultivation engineering and product broadcasting.Reported by Thien Ly – Translated by Vi Bao
