1-2012 October, we visited the commune Don Furnishings (Ba Che), a social leaders cheerfully boasted: "Sugar cane is a plant of economic poverty reduction we here, in 2011, Don Furnishings removed nearly 200 households are poor by expanding the area under cane. " Give me a cane field visits, social leaders, said: "While sugar cane has to, but close relatives Tet sold for more than, the traders also had much to ask to buy it here" . Recently, I have the opportunity to return Don Furnishings. Overlooking the green sugar cane fields still um. Meet the leaders of the commune, but was heard to complain that Mr. "not sold him a cane, still nearly 15ha cane waiting buyers." Then commune comrades offer an explanation: "The main reason is due to road travel was not too difficult to attract traders to Ba Che cane. If the households rental car transport sugarcane out HaLong bay Vietnam or Cam Pha sell, then freight rates into approximately 2000-3000 dong / tree, while resale price can not more expensive than 


From 2010 to now, Don Furnishings has promoted the development of very efficient sugar cane fields, to the social area under sugarcane from a few hectares to 22ha. The years Don Furnishings people to make food from sugar cane, the turnover is about 70 million / ha. Sugarcane is grown on less acreage is irrigated fields, but they offer a higher efficiency in rice farming. Following a commune we visited Don Furnishings some more sugar cane growers. Mr. Truong Van Landscape, Rural Village Models is that producers about 1.3 ten thousand trees sugarcane, on an area near 1ha. He was gloating showing us that he has sold sugarcane and other crop, sugar cane was high for about 2 new gloves. He proved to be the scene several riders, know more, he boasted: "At the end of 2011, there are many people to ask to buy sugar cane, that was the price I sell now, that's it. And how much I cut all into a car carrying the HaLong bay City wholesale price from 2000-5000 VND / tree. Because this year I saw where the first sugar cane. In Hai Ha, Dam Ha, Hoang Bo convenient traffic so that the cane is also full of you. " Bui Thi Mien, also in rural village model, who has 8 years in growing sugar cane, she said: "Both houses have little social scene as his own car to have for the top. He self carrying out TP Ha Long new sell be so. We rent trucks that the city is also paying rental near all. " Her home area in about 1 ha, roughly 20,000 sugar cane. The time now is about 15,000 trees in the garden. She said: "In previous years, every year I make a few dozen million in sugar cane, so sad that this year. Every year from 4000-5000 the cane price / trees that do not sell easily. This year coin price slippage so which sell 5,000 VND / tree still difficult ". A little more than a month before Don Furnishings people look at a green sugar cane fields immense that everyone warm. Yet he now also blue, people suffer far, just wish the field soon be released to other crop land. Ba Mien overlooking the fields and then recited: "Every year has sold sugarcane if the sugarcane crop to about 30-40cm high and then. If be like then only about in August lunar calendar, properly Full Moon Harvest Festival is already have sugarcane sell. Late harvest sugar cane must be planted late, had to close New Year to year is enough to sugar cane for sale. Cane missed the New Year after year, why not sell well. "
