    "Previously, the locality has supported seedlings for farmers in the area to expand production areas towards forming raw material areas, making tea sticks a specialty crop of Binh Minh town in particular and Vinh Long province in general. In the coming time, I will continue to guide and provide technical support to members as well as tea tree growers who need to help the trees achieve high productivity, Mr. Cap shared.
