After 5 years of doing the business, the reputation of the orchids garden of two brothers Hieu - Hoai has been well – known throughout the region. According to many local people, the gardeners have sold to the market Phalaenopsis orchids baskets with the price of tens of million VND, even hundreds of million VND. The owner of the garden shared, the two brothers previously traded a red-eyed Phalaenopsis orchids basket for 70 million VND. "It is difficult to accurately calculate the amount of money that the two brothers sell orchids each year because right after we sell one basket, we are looking to buy more precious one to preserve breeding," Hieu shares. Although the two brothers are modest to share the revenue that the orchids garden bring but from the "humor" widespread of the orchids collectors and looking at the development of their orchids garden (from 100 m2 up to 600 m2 ), with thousands of green orchid sprouts, forestry orchids has brought very high economic value for the two brothers of Hieu - Hoi.

"The main income of farmers in the village comes from cultivation and husbandry, in the last few years, the red grapefruits have been planted much. Meanwhile, the model of orchids planting from the two brothers Hieu – Hoi is very new but achieving high economy efficiency. From this model, many young people in the village have learned and followed. With the current value, the orchid cultivation model has a lot of potential, "said Mr. Bui Van Nhi, the Secretary of Bai Trang 2 People’s Committee said.

Sharing about their upcoming development plan, Nguyen Xuan Hoi said that the two brothers will not increase the number of orchid gibbons but focus on breeding the precious orchids of Hoa Binh province such as red -eye Phalaenopsis orchids to preserve, as well as share with the orchids collectors. At the same time, they will collect more precious orchids varieties, which can bring high value in the country.
