The family also planted 1,000 orange trees for three years that start to bearfruitfor the first year, which are expected to generate 200 million VND per year.

The family is also breading 100 commercial pigs, earning about 250 million VND per year. The initial success from the cultivation and livestock model has helped her family improve incomes, contributing to the locality’s socio-economic development.

The women’s union of Du Sang commune has also paid attention to creating jobs and supporting local women in starting business.
