<\/p>\nNguy\u1ec5n \u0110\u0103ng Ph\u00e1i (28), from V\u0103n Trung Village, T\u00e2n Chi Commune, Ti\u00ean Du District, B\u1eafc Ninh Province, is nicknamed the \u2018Guava King\u2019 by local residents.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2013 Nguy\u1ec5n \u0110\u0103ng Ph\u00e1i is the only son in a family of 4 siblings. He passed up the chance to become a professional officer, determined to return and build a prosperous livelihood in his hometown with 3 main crops: guava, jujube and longan.<\/em><\/p>\n \u2013 With yields of 60 \u2013 90 kg per tree per year and off-season guava prices stable at VND 19 \u2013 20 thousand\/kg, fruit sales alone bring young Nguy\u1ec5n \u0110\u0103ng Ph\u00e1i more than 500 million each year.<\/em><\/p>\n Making guava trees fruit out of season<\/strong><\/p>\n After nearly 6 years in business, he owns over 3 ha of orchards with stable total annual income above 1 billion \u0111\u1ed3ng and became a \u0111\u1ed3ng billionaire before turning 28. Nguy\u1ec5n \u0110\u0103ng Ph\u00e1i is the only son among 4 siblings. He passed up the opportunity to become a professional military officer, determined to return home and build wealth on his homeland with 3 main crops: guava, jujube, and longan. His biggest income source, however, is off-season guava.<\/p>\n \u2018An off-season guava tree is essentially no different from an in-season one. The only difference is that an in-season guava tree produces a large crop within a certain period, whereas an off-season tree yields fruit in several overlapping harvests throughout the year (about 4\u20135 harvests per year). This depends on the grower\u2019s technique,\u2019 Nguy\u1ec5n \u0110\u0103ng Ph\u00e1i said. The problem of \u201ca good harvest, falling prices\u201d drove him to search for an effective solution.<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2008, after seeking knowledge and learning from books, the Internet, and off-season guava-growing models, he embarked on the \u201cproject\u201d of turning the \u201cone-season\u201d guava trees in his garden into \u201cfour-season\u201d guavas, starting with a few dozen guava trees planted on the family's existing small plot of land.<\/strong><\/p>\n Using his knowledge, Nguy\u1ec5n \u0110\u0103ng Ph\u00e1i worked out how to divide the main guava harvest into several rounds by removing all fruit in the main season and pruning branches at a ratio of 1\/3 (cutting 2 of 3 parts and keeping 1) to delay fruiting, since guavas flower after pruning. After each round of young fruit appears, branches that do not bear fruit are pruned at the specified ratio so they can set fruit for the next round. This creates successive harvests in his orchard. For 4 years now, his guava orchard has averaged 4 harvests annually, at times outside the main guava season.<\/p>\n Becoming a Young Billionaire<\/strong><\/p>\n After more than a year of successful trials, at the end of 2009 Nguy\u1ec5n \u0110\u0103ng Ph\u00e1i rented more land and expanded his \u201cfour-season\u201d guava cultivation. By the end of 2010, he had a 3 ha orchard with nearly 500 off-season guava trees. With yields of 60\u201390 kg per tree per year and off-season guava prices consistently at 19\u201320 thousand dong\/kg, fruit sales alone bring young Nguy\u1ec5n \u0110\u0103ng Ph\u00e1i more than 500 million dong annually.<\/strong><\/p>\n Selling seedlings also brings him significant income. At 20\u201325 thousand dong per grafted seedling and 40\u201345 thousand dong per air-layered branch (which bears fruit within 6 months), he earns over 200 million dong a year. Besides guavas, more than 3 m\u1eabu of apple trees in the orchard also generate nearly 300 million dong annually.<\/p>\n Since 2010, growing off-season guavas and jujubes has consistently generated over 1 billion \u0111\u1ed3ng\/year. \u2018Guavas are easy to grow and care for, rarely suffer disease and need little capital. So almost all the money from selling the fruit is \u201cpure gain.\u201d Our first harvest of 2015 brought in over 100 million \u0111\u1ed3ng, with fertilizer investment of nearly ten million \u0111\u1ed3ng,\u2019 Ph\u00e1i said.<\/p>\n \u201cScience and technology are extremely important in farming. To succeed, farmers must be willing to learn and find ways to move beyond old-style smallholder practices,\u201d Mr. Ph\u00e1i said, affirming that only differentiation can help farmers make a breakthrough and prosper.<\/p>\n Nguy\u1ec5n Ng\u1ecdc C\u01b0\u01a1ng, head of V\u0103n Trung Hamlet, T\u00e2n Chi Commune, said Nguy\u1ec5n \u0110\u0103ng Ph\u00e1i was among the first to implement an off-season guava model and achieved great success. In 2014, Mr. Ph\u00e1i's household was one of 3 in the commune earning more than 1 billion dong from off-season guavas. Over the past two years, many district and provincial delegations have brought farmers to learn from this model.<\/p>\n According to Hi\u1ebfn Nguy\u1ec5n<\/strong><\/p>\n Ti\u1ec1n Phong<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nguy\u1ec5n \u0110\u0103ng Ph\u00e1i (28 tu\u1ed5i), l\u00e0ng V\u0103n Trung, x\u00e3 T\u00e2n Chi, huy\u1ec7n Ti\u00ean Du, t\u1ec9nh B\u1eafc Ninh, \u0111\u01b0\u1ee3c ng\u01b0\u1eddi d\u00e2n quanh v\u00f9ng \u0111\u1eb7t cho bi\u1ec7t danh \u201cvua \u1ed5i\u201d.
