Mr. Nguyen Dinh Lam always maintained
thousands of chickens / litter
He planned a 3.5 hectare farm for planting
fruit trees, raising chickens, ducks, pigs, cows and fishponds.
In 2009, Mr. Lam started raising 3,000
chickens. With his careful and thoughtful care, together with the price of
chickens were up again so within a year his family has collected the interest.
With the additional capital, in 2011, Mr. Lam's family invested to expand 2
chicken farms with an area of 1,500 m2, each year raising 4 litters, each
litter obtains 10,000 chickens. He built a system of pig breeding facilities
with an area of 200 m2, to ensure the raising of 200 pigs / batch, 2 times a
year. Then, he still upgraded and repaired the ponds of 1.3 hectares for
raising fish, which made him each year collect 18 tons of commercial fish of
all kinds. The garden is grown in a variety of fruit trees, mainly bananas. The
fat and abundant banana trees, which cost less to care, each year also bring
his family the income of over 100 million VND.
When having accumulated the capital, Mr. Lam
invested in machinery to free the labor force. For example, with the task of
feeding livestock and poultry every day before, it was necessary to transport
about 60 packs of food from the warehouse to the feeders, but now, there is
only one worker standing up for operating the machine to pour the food to the
target feeders. With the help of machinery, in the past two years, Mr. Lam's
family only has to hire 4 workers. With less expenses, Mr. Lam's family gets
2.5 - 3 billion VND / year from this VAC farming model, 1 to 1.8 billion VND
after deducting all the expenses every year.
After 5 years of starting up his career with
VAC model, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Lam has become a "billionaire." He was
voted for "The Excellent Vietnamese Farmer in 2015" and the title
"For the career of developing agriculture,rural and Vietnamese
farmers".
