Bac Farmers' Association, said: The income of 2 million VND may be low for many
people, but for rural women, that is quite high. Particularly in Da Bac town,

household has an average of only 1,000-2,000 square meters of rice, vegetables,
and maize, that can not remain daily life or economic development.
