(HBO) - Taking us to see the model, Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong, a supporting agricultural and forestry staff of Mong Hoa commune (Ky Son district) said: The commune has 12 hamlets, most of the hamlets are close to the hill so the model of raising bees for honey was quite suitable for practical conditions.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy’s family, Vanh hamlet, Mong Hoa commune (Ky Son) were bee circulated by poor households in the project to replicate the model of reducing poverty.

Mr. Nguyen Van Ha, Bai Sau hamlet confided: My family has 6 people with only 1.300 m2 of rice fields and small area of sugarcane plantation. In 2017, being selected to participate in the model of raising bees for honey, I was very happy. The family was supported 8 bee tanks. At this time, the family has collected more than 60 liters of honey; the average selling price was 200,000 VND / liter, earning over 12 million VND. At present, the family has developed 3 herds and transferred one herd for the poor household of Mr. Nguyen Van Binh in Vay village. Thanks to participating in the model, in 2017, my family totally escaped from poverty.

In Vanh village, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy's family is a poor household of the commune. Ms. Thuy's family had only 500 m2 of rice fields, 300 m2 of vegetable fields. She and her husband’s working in the field is not enough to raise two children to study. More than a month ago, the family has been involved in the model of raising bee for honey since 2017and was transferred 2 bee tanks. Ms. Thuy said: Being shared the new way by the poor, near poor families will be the motivation to help my families increase our income and gradually stabilize our lives.

The project for replication of the poverty reduction model by "raising bees for honey" in Mong Hoa commune is supported by the National Targeted Program for Sustainable Poverty Reduction in 2017. In October 2017, the project was implemented in the area with 45 poor and near poor households to participate. Each household is provided with 6 bee tanks and 1 million VND of supplies and facilities. The participating households had to invest in the reciprocal bee tanks. In addition, when participating in the model, the local people are required to develop rotational bees for poor households, near poor households in the area. After 3 months of implementation, bees began to turn honey. In the crops of Logan and litchi blossom, some households get less than 7 liters, some with 12 liters of honey. The current price in the market is stable at 200,000 VND / liter. Up to now, the whole commune has developed more 15 households with the circulation of bees.

Sweet, fragrant red grapefruit of Tan Lac

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
