of 200 million VND per year. The family also planted 1,000 orange trees for
three years that start to bearfruitfor the first year, which are
expected to generate 200 million VND per year.
The family is also breading 100 commercial pigs, earning about 250 million VND
per year. The initial success from the cultivation and livestock model has
helped her family improve incomes, contributing to the locality’s
socio-economic development.
