Ha Tinh mung beans sell out at the field at high prices: will they benefit Japan's bean-sprout sourcing?
In Ha Tinh province, Vietnam, mung beans had both a bumper crop and high prices. Dried beans go for around 300-some yen per kilo, and middlemen come to the fields to buy, selling out immediately. For Japan's sourcing of bean-sprout and bean-paste raw materials—almost entirely reliant on imports—it becomes a yardstick for rethinking dependence on China. -

Outside that conventional image, Arabica farmers in the mountains of Quang Tri province in central Vietnam are deliberately switching to a cultivation that "returns forest" to the field. A Vietnamese agriculture-specialist med... -
Three crops a year on 500 m2 for 200–300 million dong in profit: how Ha Tinh's "Korean melon" makes money
A woman farmer in Ha Tinh province in central Vietnam grows Korean melon three crops a year in a 500 m2 greenhouse. We interpret the real picture of protected horticulture that earns through turnover, from the perspective of Japanese imports and growing-area partnerships. -
