accelerated the stages to build the commodity brand to garlic and red scallion
which are the major crops in some communes in the district.
This year, the farmers in Lien Chung commune grow over 80 hectares of garlics and red scallions, mostly in the villages of Sau, Ben, Hau and Lan Tranh including 2 sample fields of over 60 hectares.

Lien Chung garlic and red scallion normally yield over 50 – 700 kilograms per sao (old measuring unit that is equal to 360 square meters) in winter crop. Besides, farmers in Viet Lap and Que Nham communes (Tan Yen district) also develop the red scallion.
Total cultivation areas in three localities annually hit 170 – 200 hectare. With the average price of 15 – 17,000 VND per kilogram (0.65-0.73 USD), the crops help increase the income and improve the living standard to the locals.
