Quan Ba accelerates the vegetable and flower areas

Growing vegetables and flowers brings high economic value

Quan Ba Commune was recently merged from Quyet Tien Commune, Quan Ba Commune, and Tam Son Town, with a total area of over 100 km². The area enjoys a cool climate all year round with an average temperature of 18–22 degrees Celsius. Thanks to this, Quan Ba has become the capital of vegetable cultivation, supplying not only within the province but also wholesale markets in Hanoi and several supermarket systems in the Red River Delta.

Currently, the commune has 5,276 hectares of annual crops, with production value per hectare reaching VND72 million. Around 700 hectares are dedicated to vegetables, including over 250 hectares of specialized cultivation and more than 20 hectares for roses. On average, the value of vegetable and flower cultivation per hectare reaches VND200 million – VND250 million annually.

Each year, Quan Ba supplies the market with more than 7,000 tons of vegetables and fruits, along with millions of roses, generating a total value of over VND100 billion. This has contributed to raising the commune’s estimated per capita income in 2025 to VND48.6 million, an increase of VND20.3 million compared to 2020.

Efforts to build the Quan Ba vegetable brand

To establish Quan Ba as a branded land of vegetables and flowers, in recent years the commune has actively implemented agricultural extension programs, supporting farmers in restructuring crops, especially converting low-yield farmland (such as maize) into higher-value crops. As a result, over 346 hectares have been converted (36.2 hectares fully converted and 310 hectares seasonally converted), focusing on off-season crops and varieties with higher yields and greater economic value such as cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, sticky pumpkins, and cabbages.

The Resolution of the 1st Congress of the Quan Ba Commune Party Committee, for the 2025–2030 term, set a target of converting 200 hectares of low-yield farmland into higher-value crops, including 30 hectares of full conversion and 170 hectares of seasonal conversion. The goal is to raise the production value per hectare of annual crops to VND80 million or more. At the same time, the commune identifies one of its three key breakthroughs as developing a circular economy in agriculture, strengthening the application of science and technology in production, and enhancing product consumption linkages.

Chairman of the Quan Ba Commune People’s Committee, Do Quang Dung, shared that the commune is implementing planning and expanding concentrated vegetable production areas, applying science and technology in production, maintaining and developing production-consumption linkage models, and combining vegetable and flower development with experiential tourism, thereby creating more services to attract visitors.
