hatching machine
In 2004, the new start-up path was officially
opened after he was invited by the Phu Thanh Farmers Association to attend a
training course on citrus development model. He boldly borrowed 2 hectares of
land from the bank, bought yellow oranges and Dien grapefruit for planting.
Four years later, when the oranges, grapefruit were developed and harvested, he
switched to raising chickens with the initial number from 100 to 500 chickens
and increased from 1,000 to 3,000 chickens/ litter.
His family boldly raised 2,000 laying hens,
and bought 4 hatching machines with a capacity of 12,000 pesos per machine. At
that time, the family provided about 30,000 breeding chickens and 20 - 30 tons
of commercial chicken to the market. Three years ago, when the farming economy
tended to develop, he decided to expand the scale of the farm, investing in
building a super lean pork farm with a capacity of 300 pigs per litter. Then,
he built three other porker farms with the capacity of 100 - 200 pigs per
litter. The total porkers in four farms ranged from 600 to 800 pigs.
Since 2012 up to now, Nguyen Duy Lanh's model
of breeding farms combined with animal husbandry has achieved continuous
successes. In 2012, he achieved the total revenue of 2 billion VND, except for
expenses of 1.5 billion VND, he had a profit of 500 million VND. In 2013, the
total revenue was 2.5 billion VND, after deducting the cost of 1.8 billion VND,
he gained a profit of 700 million VND. In 2014, the total revenue was 3.2 billion
VND, except for the cost of 2.6 billion VND, the profit reached at 600 million
VND. In 2017, the total revenue was nearly 10 billion VND but due to losses in
investment in pig production, except for
expenses, profits remained at 600 million VND. In the first months of this
year, he has just exported over 30 tonnes of pigs at the price of 42,000 VND/
kg, the increasing market price helped him partly offset the loss of pig
production last year.
After more than four years of implementing a project launched by the Hoa Binh Party Committee’s Standing Board on developing agriculture and promoting product consumption linked with building new-style rural areas for the 2021-2025 period, the province’s industry and trade sector has made significant strides, greatly contributing to local socio-economic development.
Luong Son district has identified 2025 as the year for the accelerated breakthrough to successfully implement the socio-economic development plan for the 5-year period from 2021 to 2025. The district has been focusing on executing the plans and trying to achieve a GRDP growth rate of approximately 15%.
Since the beginning of this year, under the direction of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the Sub-Department of Agricultural, Forestry, and Fishery Product Quality Management has strengthened the integration of the professional activities to promote and guide the organizations and individuals in the production and trading of agricultural, forestry, and fishery products to comply with the legal regulations regarding the use of chemicals, pesticides and veterinary medicines in crop cultivation, livestock farming and aquaculture. They also provide guidance to processing and manufacturing establishments on keeping the records to trace the product origins and using food additives from the approved list according to the regulations.

Ha Thi Ha Chi, a 26-year-old graduate in law, has taken an unconventional path by returning to her hometown in Mai Chau district to establish the Tong Dau Cooperative, creating stable jobs for local women and bringing Thai ethnic brocade weaving to the global market.
As the Lunar New Year 2025 approached, pork prices surged, creating a profitable season for farmers in Tan Vinh commune, Luong Son district. Taking advantage of the rising demand, Can Minh Son, a farmer from Coi hamlet, sold over 30 pigs at 69,000 VND/kg, each weighing more than 100 kg. After deducting expenses, his family earned a profit of over 50 million VND.
