(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.
According to data from the Hoa Binh Provincial Party Committee, the industrial production index for the first six months of 2025 is estimated to have increased by 20% compared to the same period last year. This marks the highest year-on-year growth rate for this period since 2020.
In the first six months of 2025, Hoa Binh province’s export turnover was estimated at 1.145 billion USD, marking an 18.11% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Import turnover was estimated at $ 804 million, a 17.15% increase, which helped the province maintain a positive trade balance.
The lives of the ethnic minority farmers in Tan Lac district have gradually improved thanks to the new directions in agricultural production. This is a testament to the collective strength fostered through the professional associations and groups implemented by various levels of the district’s Farmers’ Union.
With the motto the "product quality comes first,” after nearly one year of establishment and operation, Muong village’s Clean Food Agricultural and Commercial Cooperative, located in Cau Hamlet, Hung Son Commune (Kim Boi district), has launched reputable, high-quality agricultural products to the market that are well-received by consumers. The products such as Muong village’s pork sausage, salt-cured chicken, and salt-cured pork hocks have gradually carved out a place in the market and they are on the path to obtaining the OCOP certification.
In the past, the phrase "bumper harvest, rock-bottom prices" was a familiar refrain for Vietnamese farmers engaged in fragmented, small-scale agriculture. But today, a new spirit is emerging across rural areas of Hoa Binh province - one of collaboration, organisation, and collective economic models that provide a stable foundation for production.
Maintaining growing area codes and packing facility codes in accordance with regulations is a mandatory requirement for agricultural products to be eligible for export. Recently, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Hoa Binh province has intensified technical supervision of designated farming areas and packing facilities to safeguard the "green passport" that enables its products to access international markets.
