The soil and climate condition in Tan Son is suitable for a variety of high-value fruits. In the last tenure, the commune has concentrated on commodity agriculture development applying science and technology and establishing production and consumption linkage groups.

Poetic beauty in ancient Bac Hoa village.

Nearly 1,300 hectares of citrus plants, jujube, lychee and 1-hectare plum orchard in Khuon Khen village are main income resources for local people. In line with crop cultivation, livestock in Tan Son is also strongly developed. Particularly, the herd of horses brings about horse meat products, bone extract, fermented horse roll and breeding horses.

Application of high technologies in production helps to increase productivity and product quality as well as forming sustainable linkage chains between farmers and markets.

Vivid red lychee hills, fruitful jujube fields and blossom plum gardens are clear evidence for efficiency of the commodity production models. Besides, they also become attractive destinations for tourists to check in, yielding dual economic values for local people in the high land of Tan Son.

Tan Son is endowed with both fruitful orchards and unique tourism values. The old traditional houses with yin-yang roof tiles, ancient earthen houses, winding roads and pristine landscapes in Bac Hoa village and vast Cam Son lake open up new opportunities for the commune in combining agricultural development with ecological and community-based tourism.

Bac Hoa village has seventeen 100-year-old ancient houses with over 100 residents.

Cam Son lake, a large natural lake surrounded by mountains and evergreen fruit gardens, has become an ideal destination for eco- tourism.

Pure-white blossom plum orchards and bright red lychee hills attract tourists to experience harvesting and enjoying fruits right at the gardens.
