VOV1 – Hau Giang has the largest raw sugarcane area in the Mekong Delta, but in recent years, sugarcane growers in this locality often face difficulties when the sugarcane is flooded, there is no place to consume, raw sugarcane is purchased at a low price. Faced with this situation, many households here have researched and searched for new plant varieties that are suitable for local soil and have high economic value to replace sugarcane. In the low-lying and alum land of Phung Hiep district, many households have bravely given up sugarcane to grow MD2 pineapple (also known as American pineapple). Currently, people here are very excited because this new plant variety has brought income many times higher than the previous sugarcane.
