(HBO) – The war veterans’ association of Lam Son commune, Luong Son district, has five chapters with 315 members. According to statistics, more than 30 members are running farms and service businesses which yield high profits. Their monthly income averaged 27 million VND in 2017. The number of well-to-do and rich families makes up 65 percent of the total households in the locality. There are no poor and near-poor households.
The deer farm of Nguyen Minh Thang, a member
of the Lam Son commune war veterans association’s chapter in Nam Son village,
produces high economic values.
We visited the family of Pham Van Trong, a
member of the Nam Son chapter of the Lam Son commune’s war veterans
association, who is an example in economic development in the locality. Trong’s
farm houses 20 cows, including 14 milch cows. Each of them produces about 15
litres of milk daily with the milking period lasting from 8-9 months.
In 2017, his farm provided over 10,000 litres
of milk priced at 20,000 VND per litre for the market, earning more than 200
million VND. Besides, Trong pocketed nearly 50 million VND from supplying
breeding cows for local farmers.
To create favourable conditions for its
officials and members to access preferential loans, the communal war veterans’
association has coordinated with the district bank for social policies to
manage three loan groups with total loans worth 1.6 billion VND.
The association’s chapters have also set up
funds, with 576,000 VND per member, to help poor members with loans without
interest rate.
Thanks to the loans, many of them have
developed new economic models of husbandry, citrus planting and construction
material trading.
