Bac Son is a mountainous district in Lang Son province, where agricultural land occupies 79.24% of the natural land area. Based on 2 factors, the district has identified three key crops: golden tangerine (quýt vàng), tobacco, and red peanut. The assessment reveals that tobacco cultivation yields moderate economic efficiency (6 points), while golden tangerine and red peanut land use show high economic efficiency, with 9 and 8 points, respectively. All three main crops exhibit high social benefits, with golden tangerine identified as especially promising, due to its economic potential and widespread acceptance among local farmers. Among these three main crops, golden tangerine provides the highest environmental benefits, offering complete soil coverage (100%) and compliance with recommended pesticide and fertilizer use. The other two crops require better management of fertilizer and pesticide application. Moving forward, a increasing investments in agricultural inputs and advancing cultivation techniques are recommended to ensure these crops continue to contribute to the economic well-being of Bac Son’s residents.
