Contestant Tran Hai Minh, Youth Union Branch of the Department of Science & Technology has conducted a research on utilization of ethylene to enhance the ripening of Khanh Son durians to protect and promote Khanh Son durian trademark. The research has won the first prize in the field of bio-technology.
Tran Hai Minh has done a test on various kinds of Khanh Son durians. The results have shown that durians can ripe earlier and the quality remains unchanged compared with naturally ripened fruits.

The application is expected to save labor and water by 30-40% and fertilizers by 20%. 432 m3 of water will be saved a year if the model is applied in the entire existing area of coffee trees in Khanh Son District.
The initiative to improve the youth Union activities at Nha Trang University has won the first prize in the sector of economics, education and Youth Union tasks.
