In the past, the plant often grew wild in places with a lot of mud such as ponds, lakes, swamps or riverside mudflats. Nowadays, tubers have become a delicious and attractive specialty.

People in Phuong Do neighborhood, Hong Chau ward (Hung Yen city) harvest tubers
In Hung Yen city, currently, the planting area is about 13 hectares, concentrated in Hong Chau ward and communes such as Lien Phuong, Hong Nam, Quang Chau...
Hong Chau Ward is a locality with a tradition of growing bamboo trees with an area of 8.5 hectares, concentrated in Phuong Do neighborhood with 153 farming households. According to the shares of long-time growers here, this plant has two varieties, white tubers and purple tubers. The variety grown in Hong Chau ward is a white tuber with characteristics of being spongy, soft, rich in protein, high in starch... The plant is usually planted at the beginning of the year, and harvested around the middle of the 9th lunar month. Because it is suitable for the soil characteristics here, the bamboo plant grows and develops well, giving the quality of the tubers more delicious and fleshy than other places, so the selling price is also higher. On average, each acre of rice cultivation can bring in an income of 5-6 million VND/year, 3-5 times higher than cultivating rice. Wherever the products are harvested, traders will buy them. Therefore, bamboo has become a crop that helps increase the income of many farmers in Hong Chau ward.
As an experienced bamboo grower, Mr. Tran Van Hien in Phuong Do neighborhood, Hong Chau ward said: My family has been growing bamboo for more than ten years. Growing this type of tree doesn't have to worry about money for seeds because when I harvest it, I take the root part and continue propagating it so that it can be replanted in the spring crop (around the second lunar month) next year. With the advantage of not taking much care, not using pesticides and using little fertilizer... so it saves production costs. Currently, with a selling price ranging from 17,000 to 25,000 VND/10 bulbs, with 1 acre planted in bamboo shoots, this year, my family is estimated to earn a profit of over 40 million VND.
Mr. Hoang Van Ngoan is one of the households that grows the most bamboo shoots in Hong Nam commune with an area of 1 acre. During this time, family members are present in the fields every day to harvest rice. Mr. Ngoan said: This year, due to the influence of weather, the yield and quality of tubers are worse than last year. However, the selling price is still relatively stable, so the estimated income is about 50 million VND/acre.
As a "clean" specialty, rich in nutrients and good for health, tubers are popular with consumers. During the season, many housewives look to buy tubers to process into delicious dishes for their families, or as rustic gifts to give to relatives and friends. At this time, walking around the local markets in the province, it is easy to see vegetable stalls and street vendors selling plump, white tubers.
Comrade Vu Van An, Head of the Quarter, Secretary of the Party Cell of Phuong Do Quarter, Hong Chau Ward, said: Neng is a crop that brings good economic efficiency to local people. In addition to consumption within the province, the tubers are also sold to traders in many neighboring provinces and cities. Therefore, in addition to encouraging and motivating people to expand planting areas and apply science and technology to farming to improve product quality and increase income, we hope that the Agriculture sector will develop. Rural areas support localities in in-depth research on bamboo plants to be able to develop large-scale production; Apply processing technology to improve product competitiveness and promote collective branding and promotion of typical local products...
