The Truong Thinh Hi-Tech Agriculture Investment JSC in Thong Nhat
commune applies scientific and technological advances in melon cultivation.
The greenhouse melon cultivation model of the Truong Thinh Hi-Tech Agriculture
Investment JSC in Thong Nhat commune is one of the agricultural models that

productivity, and the value of products, thus bringing higher economic benefits
to local farmers, and reduce environmental pollution.

The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
