(HBO) – "One of 50 top golden products of raising poultry in Vietnam in 2016”, a certificate of merits for "Typical Youth for Community” by the provincial Youth Union Association in 2017, a most outstanding prize of "Star of Agricultural Emperor” of Vietnamese Farmer Association in 2016 and dozens of certificates of merits, those are the dreaming achievements of "the billionaire of small chickens” Bui Dong Giang, An Son 1 village, An Binh commune, Lac Thuy district. He has gained those since his starting up business until now.
The linked model of raising small chickens
originated from Lac Thuy brought to Mr. Bui Dong Giang, An Son 1village, An
Binh commune (Lac Thuy) an income of 1 billion VND per year.
With a loan from friends and a small amount
of savings, in 2014, he set up a model with 500 pure-bred small chickens which
are carefully selected from the most popular small chicken raising households
in the district. In order to keep the precious and pure- bred characteristics
of the small chickens, he learned from the experience of hatching egg models in
the district, as well as the experiences from seminars and on the Internet. In
the first year of implementing the model, his chickens grow well, meeting the
quality standards and they were all sold. With the interest and loans, he
continued to invest in incubators and expansion of breeding coops. Currently,
his chicken farm has 8,000 - 10,000 laying hens; 2,000 - 3,000 meat chickens, 4
modern incubators with 10 employees. Every month, he exported more than 40,000
pure- bred small chickens to hundreds of households raising chickens throughout
the country. On average, his family earns 1 billion VND after deducting all
expenses every year.
In order to help the brand of Lac Thuy small
chickens compete more highly than other kinds of poultry in the market, as well
as improving profitability per unit of product, Mr. Giang applies the linked
model of value chains, selling the breeding chickens and breeding aliments for
the agent households as well as supporting product consumption. Especially in
An Binh commune, there are nearly 20 households participating in the linked
chain of association of Mr. Giang. Besides, he actively comes to big markets of
poultry in Hanoi, such as Ha Vy market (Thach That), Hai Boi market (Dong Anh),
La Khe market (Ha Dong) and in other provinces to seek stable output for the
agent farms.
During the two days of November 14th – 15th, at the Provincial Cultural Palace, the Department of Industry and Trade organized a conference to connect the product consumption of the ethnic minorities and the mountainous areas in 2024. There was the attendance of the representatives of leaders of a number of departments, branches, businesses, manufacturers and distributors inside and outside the province.
The One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme is reshaping the rural economy of Lac Son district, helping improve living standards, particularly among the ethnic minority communities in remote areas of Lac Son district.
The Van Mai dam xanh (Bangana lemassoni) fish has long been famous for its unique and delicious flavour, earning a spot on the menus of many restaurants and attracting food connoisseurs. In recent years, residents in Van Mai commune, Mai Chau district, have expanded their fish farming areas and striven to build a strong reputation for their product. They are also working to establish it as an OCOP (One Commune, One Product) item to increase their income.
Outstanding rural industrial products of Hoa Binh province in 2024 were recently honoured and granted certificates, becoming a source of pride for producers and also a boost for local economic development. The honourees are all deeply imbued with the local cultural identity and boast considerable commercial potential, helping popularise the image of Hoa Binh to domestic and international consumers. This is also a solid stepping stone for rural industrial establishments to develop.
In the first 10 months of 2024, Hoa Binh city made significant progress in job creation and labour exports, sending 112 workers abroad through partnerships with authorised recruitment firms.
An award ceremony to announce the official certification for Mai Chau district’s Bangana lemassoni fish, a specialty of the locality because of its unique flavour, was held recently in the district.
