(HBO) – Mr. Nguyen Van Quan, (born in 1981), in Dong De hamlet, Dong Tam commune in Lac Thuy district, made a brave decision to invest in large-scale poultry raising three years ago.

Nguyen Van Quan, Dong De hamlet, Dong Tam commune in Lac Thuy district,
is the owner of a chicken farm model meeting food safety standards. He sells around
2,000 commercial chickens per brood to the
market.
Quan said he has accumulated many
experiences after nearly 20 years raising chickens, which helped him minimize risks
when investing in large-scale breeding.
Taking advantage of a large area of hill
land of his family, he built a solid farm with a fence system surrounding
for raising free-range chicken.
Quan chose Lac Thuy
chicken, which has good meat quality, for his farm.
Deciding to follow the
direction of safe husbandry, he mainly uses
natural food for the chickens. When the chicks are small, he feeds them bran but
when they reach the weight of 0.4 -0.5kg per head, he feeds them entirely with corn
and rice.
Quan also pays special attention to preventing diseases, particularly regular
checks and vaccination for chickens, and sanitation, detoxification and
disinfection for the facilities.
He rakes in big profits from the farm especially on the occasion of Lunar New
Year (Tet) festival because of great demand in the market and high prices.
In the 2018 Lunar New Year festival, the price for his chickens stood at 100,000
VND/kg, up 20,000/kg compared to normal days, helping him earn 130 million VND in
profit.
Quan’s farm raises three broods of
chickens a year, selling 2,000-2,500 commercial chickens each brood and earning
around 400 million VND a year.
Quan said he had linked up with many traders from other provinces, and his
products are mainly sold in wholesale markets in Hanoi.
Apart from breeding chickens, Quan takes advantage of the hill and mountainous terrain
in his farm to raise fish and goats. Feed for goats and fish all comes from
available natural resources. Quan said he raked in a combined profit of
over 500 million VND per year from raising chickens, goats and fish. He also
revealed his plan to increase the number of chicken to 3,000 per brood in the
coming time./.
After the Lunar New Year (Tet) holidays, trade union members and workers in Hoa Binh province returned to work with an excited spirit at the beginning of the new spring. Throughout the workshops, factories and enterprises, they were full of enthusiasm, immediately getting to work, striving to excellently complete tasks and production and business targets.
Red grapefruit is a native crop of Tan Lac district, where the fertile soil and favourable climate create ideal conditions for its growth. With over 80% of the area being mountainous, at an altitude of 300-400 metres above sea level, red grapefruits here thrive on well-drained, fertile hillside soil. The region’s large temperature variation between day and night enhances the fruit's nutrient absorption. The local cultivation techniques also contribute to its uniqueness
The provincial business association recently convened a conference to review its 2024 operations and outline plans for 2025. The meeting was attended by Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Duc Hinh along with leaders from various departments and agencies.
