and forestry can get high profit.

forested areas, the commune has encouraged people to promote and replicate the
model of poultry raising combined with afforestation, creating an environment
for the development of the poultry. With the existing Lac Thuy chicken brand,
the quality and prestige have been affirmed for a long time, therefore, raising
hill chickens is one of the local key economic development directions.

contribution in the hunger eradication and poverty alleviation, raising the
income for the people ".
