Doi (michelia tonkinensis) seeds in Be ham het, Chi Dao commune.

Women’s unions at all levels in the district have developed 25 ideas for innovative startups. The idea on "Cultivating the chilli species in Lac Son forest” won a prize at a central-level contest and received a support grant worth 157.9 million VND for implementation. 

Another idea on developing and building brand name for Huong Nhuong hilly range chickens got a consolation prize at a provincial-level contest, while the initiative on producing and processing Doi (michelia tonkinensis) seeds as spice was awarded a district-level prize along with 50 million VND to realize the idea.

To ensure stable market for products of agricultural startups, the district Women’s Union proposed to the district People’s Committee to contact trading companies and supermarkets, such as the Tay Bac Centre in Hanoi’s Ha Dong district, Bac Tom store chain in Hanoi, the Vi Hoa Binh supermarket in Hoa Binh city, and safe food stores in Hao Binh city. 

The district authorities also helped local producers to participate in the Red River Delta trade and agricultural fair in Bac Niinh province, and the 2019 fisheries fair in Hanoi. Besides, programmes and projects on development in Lac Son and the Tay Bac Centre helped open training courses on startups and idea development for women, and provided over 300 million VND for women’s startups in 2019.

At present, Lac Son district has seven small- and medium-sized enterprises owned by women, along with 125 economic models engaging 6,000 participants, seven of which generated more than 100 million VND in revenue each year. 

Some products have gained brand names and met food safety standards under the supervision of the Women’s Union and professional agencies in the district, such as brocade, Can wine (wine in a jar drunk by bamboo tubes), Lac Son chicken, Doi (michelia tonkinensis) seeds, Phu Luong wild chilli and pork. In particular, Lac Son chicken and Doi (michelia tonkinensis) seeds have gained collective IP brands.

For the effective implementation of the task to help members start business, the Women’s Union also coordinated with banks to help more than 4,000 members access loans worth over 5 billion VND./.
