Communes and towns across the districts have shifted to cultivate in value
chains with key agriculture products like hill chickens, pigs, wax guard and
pharmaceutical plants, among others.
By the end of June, the value chains earned the district 290.64 billion VND
(12.5 million USD), up 7.73 percent from the same time last year, of which the
husbandry sector contributed 224.8 billion VND, increasing 9.16 percent year on
