According to local farmers, many years ago, they mainly grew beans and corn, so their income was not high. Recently, they have switched to high-value crops such as Australian mango, Tu Quy and durian, which are yielding sweet fruits.

According to durian growers, every year the price of durian fluctuates between 40,000 - 50,000 VND/kg, however this year the price of durian purchased at the garden is from 79,000 - 80,000 VND/kg, with this price farmers will definitely make a profit.
