(HBO) – In recent years, integrated farming models have been formed and developed strongly in Phu Thanh commune, Lac Thuy district, northern mountainous Hoa Binh province. Local farmers have promoted available advantages to scale up agricultural production, increase productivity and improve competitiveness of their products in the market.


The orange cultivation model of Mr. Chu Duc Bien’s family (Ry hamlet, Phu Thanh commune, Lac Thuy district) earns 600 million VND a year.


Phu Thanh commune has more than 50 farms, including 36 farms of fruit-trees with a total area of 350ha, mainly citrus fruit-trees which account for over 85 percent of the fruit-tree area.

There are eight livestock breeding farms where raise chickens, cows and pigs and eight integrated farms and many small-scale models. These farms are raising a total of 100,000 chickens; 6,100 pigs and 995 buffalos and cows.

Outstanding farmers in the commune are Mr. Nguyen Duy Lanh (Bot hamlet) with an integrated farming model earning nearly 1 billion VND per year; Mr. Chu Duc Bien (Ry hamlet) who owns 6 ha of citrus fruit-trees, earning 600 million VND a year; and Mr. Nguyen Van Dung (Dong Danh hamlet) with a farm breeding 12,000 heads of Lac Thuy chickens which help him pocket 500 million VND a year.

According to Mr. Chu Duc Bien, the farming model is a sustainable and stable direction, bringing high incomes to local farmers.

"I have taken full advantage of soil and climate to plant citrus fruit-trees under VietGAP standards, while applying new technologies in cultivation”, Bien said, adding that the farm helped his family earn 600 million VND this year.

Exploiting every condition of hilly land to develop livestock breeding, the number of chicken farms in Lac Thuy has been expanded, towards building a brand for
Lac Thuy chickens.

Statistics released by the commune’s People’s Committee shows that there are many large-scale chicken breeding farms, such as those of Mr Nguyen Van Dung (Dong Danh hamlet) with a flock of 12,000 chickens and Mr Nguyen Phuong Phuc (Tan Phu hamlet) with a flock of 8,000 chickens.

A number of households that were granted certificates of integrated farm models, have been provided with preferential loans, making it easy for them to improve effectiveness and expand their production and business./.
