Although it takes about two months for the main longan yield to be harvested, in Song Ma district in the northern province of Son La, many households have already started harvesting early-ripening longans, shooting for higher profits.
Son La is applying new agricultural production methods, such as spreading crops and changing the time of flowering and fruiting for different crops, to reduce oversupply. Song Ma district has a longan growing area of more than 7,500 ha, including about 300 ha of early-ripening longan. The district is coordinating with the Research Institute of Fruit and Vegetables on guiding farmers to graft ripe longan varieties in different seasons, to reduce market pressure and increase incomes for farmers.
