Cao Son Xanh Cooperative was established in 2020, with 7 members. After its establishment, members of the cooperative researched and boldly invested capital to build a farm on more than 6 hectares, of which, 2 hectares were for grass growing and the remaining 4 hectares were reserved for barns and a feed processing area. To ensure hygiene in the barns, the cooperative invested in installing a ventilation system and a modern waste treatment system.

3B cow is a foreign breed but it has good adaptability to the local environment and climate. Therefore, Cao Son Xanh Cooperative has no difficulty in taking care of the cows, which eat grass, rice straw or sugarcane. The cooperative invested more than 130 million VND to buy grinders to prepare food for the cows.

Ta Dinh Que, Deputy Director of the cooperative said after nearly one year, the cooperative's 110 3B cows have been growing rather well. At the price of 100,000 VND/kg, the market's demand for 3B beef is high and supply doesn’t meet demand. In the coming time, the cooperative will invest in expanding the cow raising scale and forming a closed chain from breeding cows for calves to raising commercial cows for meat to increase added value. In addition, the cooperative will provide QR code for each cow with the aim of supplying high-quality food for the Hanoi market./.
