Common vegetables grown there are kohlrabi, cabbage, cauliflower, bitter gourd, cucumber, spring onion, coriander, and celery.

Tuyen Quang’s winter vegetable output has reached 96,000 tonnes. The economic value of vegetable farming, especially winter varieties, is now taking the lead amongst the province’s annual crops.
