In this remote hamlet ago to go by canoe, boat, now rural roads helps cars run to take place should the sale of betel of her children also had more favorable. "
What betel growers here feel assured that the current output of betel leaf is relatively stable, especially 3 years ago prices were high betel should make many households escape poverty. Currently traders buy betel cost 1,500 VND / tiles (tiles 40 leaf 1), Tet cost up to 5,000-6,000 dong / tiles, many families are harvesting a few tens of million in an area of only 1.000 to 2.000m2 planted betel.

With each new branch betel, when pickers harvest ever leaving small leaves and large leaves to feed the next 15 to 20 days. And so, betel leaves continuous days after month until new old betel wire only.
Betel growers often thin like betel health by selecting tops, pull down cuttings into the soil, the first month, then cut betel planting roots in a new sting. In addition to the advantage of the rapid harvest, have, guaranteed income, betel also suitable for those less land, can take advantage of the empty plots around the house, narrow strip of land. Besides the betel growers, pickers betel labor participation, jars betel (betel ranked into tiles) and income per day from a few tens to a few hundred thousand dollars.
Today, though no longer growing betel popular, but in Vi Thuy commune, which is considered the cradle of the province grow betel, betel farmers are still considered the ideal model, providing a stable source of income for tens of households. The betel growers concentrated in the hamlet 5, 7, 8, and have maintained the past three or four lives.
