HBO - Suffering from serious health problem related to food, Bui Bich Lien from Dai Mo ward, Nam Tu Liem district (Hanoi) had a lot of concerns before deciding to choose Hoa Binh as a site to build Orfarm Thuy Thien Nhu (the cleanest farm model in Vietnam).
Japanese experts visit
and laud farming model of Bui Bich Lien in Phu Thanh commune, Lac Thuy
district.
She chose Phu Thanh to realise her idea. This place not only
meets criteria for the construction of a clean farm, but also sits in a convenient
location on Ho Chi Minh route. In 2013, Lien pooled all her money, including loans, to
invest in farming. In 2014, she started her own business with a clean farm
model named Thuy Thien Nhu.
Lien said documents on breeding and advanced Japanese effective
microorganism (EM) technology specially attracted and persuaded her. It is a
Japanese government-funded project in support of communities in over 100
countries. After contacting Japanese experts, she received their enthusiastic
support, from guiding the selection of strains, food processing, to building
farms.
On an area of over one ha at Thuy Thien Nhu
farm, Lien allocated about 3,000 sq.m for building an organic fruits and vegetables
zone with a variety of products, including leafy vegetables, eggplant,
cucumber, and tomato. Nearly one ha is used for pig and poultry breeding. She
developed a close-circuit farm model, adopted the Japanese EM technology in the
process of organic agricultural farming. As a result, the farm completely
controlled epidemic diseases, ensured that high quality organic agricultural
products meet "Three No" criteria, including no epidemics, no use of
plant protection medicine, no growth stimulus substance and other chemicals
that are toxic to human health and surrounding environment.
After 5 years, she has her own brand and become successful
in building the model "clean farm - green dining table." Consumers in
the country’s two largest cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city trust high-quality
and organic products of Hoa Binh origin, contributing to popularising farm
produce and attracting investment to local agricultural production.
