Mr. Bach said: "I was born at Ky Son district in 1999 before going to Cao Phong for business. As a worker of Cao Phong Farm, I and my family started to grown orange trees in 2000. At that time, the price of orange was only from 3 to 5 thousand VND per kg, hence, the profits was insignificant”.

Afterward, the family could buy a car and build a new spacious house with full facilities. Growing orange purposes on economic development, but Mr. Bach also created more jobs for about 30 to 50 workers in the area. Moreover, he always created favorable conditions and helped some households to grow citrus.

In 2016, Mr. Bach and some orange farmer established Cao Phong Planting Orange Association. It had a role to popularize gardening techniques and caring guide as well as explore the marker for the products of Cao Phong orange. The association had elected the Executive Board and the Executive Committee which operated on the base of the Association’s regulations in order to put it into an organized operation. As a consequence, the Association’s products of orange usually met the demand of market and were well-known by other provinces. In addition to showing good at business, Mr. Bach is always enthusiastic and supporting the movements launched by the government in the residential area, for example of donating 10 million VND to construct cultural house, buy new equipment and create funds for merit people.
