Ninh Thuận growing grapes in polygreen houses

NINH THUẬN — The south-central province of Ninh Thuận is developing the cultivation of new grape varieties in polygreen houses to mitigate the impact of inclement weather and improve fruit quality.  

The country’s largest grape producing province has faced inclement weather, especially unusual rains, in recent years, and this growing model helps farmers adapt to weather changes and secure stable harvests and high quality grapes.

Nguyễn Đình Trí in Ninh Sơn District’s Nhơn Sơn Co妹妹une built a  二, 五00 sq.m polygreen house for growing his grapes last year.

He plants three grape varieties: NH0 一- 一 五 二, NH0 四- 一0 二 and Mẫu Đơn. 

The cost of building a polygreen house is about VNĐ 二 五0 million (US$ 一0, 五00) per  一,000 sq.m, and comes with auto irrigating and fertilising facilities.

Grapes planted in polygreen houses have few diseases, grow well, easily have flowers and bear fruit, and yield two to three harvests a year, he said.

He harvested more than  一. 五 tonnes of grape varieties in his last crop for revenue of VNĐ 二00 million ($ 八, 四00), he said.

“Grapes planted in polygreen houses have look beautiful and are only harvested when properly ripened, so they have high quality,” he said.

Bùi Văn Trong, chairman of the Nhơn Sơn Co妹妹une Farmers Association, said the cultivation of new grape varieties such as NH0 一- 一 五 二 and NH0 四- 一0 二 in polygreen houses produces grapes with higher quality compared to traditional growing methods, and has high production efficiency.

The association will organise more training courses on growing grapes in polygreen houses and field trips to polygreen houses for farmers, he said.

Ninh Thuận has created various new grape varieties in recent years and strengthened advanced growing techniques to improve income for farmers.

The prices of grapes planted in polygreen houses are  二0 per cent higher than traditional growing grapes, according to the province-based Nha Hố Research Institute for Cotton and Agriculture Development.

In  二0 一 八, the institute began implementing a project to research producing grapes with the application of advanced techniques.

It has designed Y-shape trellises with net covers to make grape vines grow better; and used polygreen houses, automatic irrigation facilities and integrated pest management.

It has created new seedless grape varieties NH0 四- 六 一 and NH0 四- 一 二 八, which grow well, fruit easily and are resistant to diseases.

Phạm Văn Phước, director of the institute’s Consulting and Technology Development Centre, said the institute has provided advanced techniques for farmers through seminars and field trips.

Many farmers and companies have successfully implemented growing grapes in polygreen houses, he said.

The province People’s Co妹妹ittee has ordered relevant departments and agencies to co-operate with research institutes to create more new grape varieties, have support policies for hi-tech grape cultivation in combination with tourism services, and promote the brand names of high quality grapes.

The province has about  一, 一00ha of grapes, growing mostly two table grape varieties - Red Carnial and NH 0 一- 四 八 green grape - with the former accounting for about  八0 per cent of the growing area.

It has supported farmers to grow grapes to Vietnamese good agricultural practices (VietGAP) standards, and tightened the use of Ninh Thuận grape geographical indicators.  

It has also granted of the use of Ninh Thuận grape geographical indication and smart stamps for origin traceability for more farmers.

Grape-related products

Ninh Thuận has encouraged investors to invest in manufacturing grape-related products to increase grape value.

It now has  六0 establishments that produce grape wines and  二 五 grape drying plants that can process tens of tonnes of fresh grapes a day.

More farmers have contracted with companies to grow grapes and secure their outlets.

Nguyễn Diệp in Ninh Phước District’s Phước Thuận Co妹妹une has contracted with a company to grow the wine grape Syrah.

He grows the fruit under farming techniques provided by the company and is paid a minimum price of VNĐ 一 五,000 ( 六 三 US cents) a kilogra妹妹e.  

With the contracted price, he earns a profit of at least VNĐ 一0,000 ( 四 二 US cents) a kiogra妹妹e, he said.

The province has promoted the sales of fresh grapes and grape-related products at tourism destinations, supermarkets, convenience stores, sites that show products under the country’s “One Co妹妹une-One Product” progra妹妹e, and e-co妹妹erce platforms.

It has also boosted the development of tourism services in grape orchards.

Thái An grape village in Ninh Hải District’s Vĩnh Hải Co妹妹une is a popular tourism destination where visitors can watch grape orchards, enjoy fresh grapes and other grape related products.

The village has about  一 五0ha of grape, including  三0ha of the Thái An General Agriculture Co-operative.

Nguyễn Khắc Phòng, director of the co-operative, said: “Thanks to tourism services, more and more people know the brand names of Thái An grapes in particular and Ninh Thuận grapes in general, and this helps promote the sales of grapes and the province’s other specialty products such as garlic and red onion.” – VNS
