(HBO) - From a farmer who have been living in poverty, Mr. Nguyen Duy Lanh in Bot village, Phu Thanh commune (Lac Thuy) has reached to become a typical producer and business model of the district, provincial and national levels.


The farmer Nguyen Duy Lanh invests in egg 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.
