(HBO) – The provincial Farmers' Association built a trade association and cooperative model for raising chickens in My Hoa commune of Kim Boi district from April to October 2021.
The model has proven effective, generating good profits and contributing to promoting large-scale concentrated and sustainable production, creating more jobs and increasing incomes for local farmers.

The model has 10 member households who are members of the trade association of Ba Giang hamlet in My Hoa commune.
In July, the provincial Farmers' Association organized a training course on husbandry technique and disease prevention for households participating in the model and others that need support on husbandry.
After the training programme, the provincial Farmers' Association coordinated with contractors to hand over 4,100 1-day-old Lac Thuy chickens and mixed feed to the households. The member households pledged to prepare stables, breeding stock and feed, veterinary medicine and electricity to ensure the model’s scale.
Mr. Bui Van Tien – a member of the model said after participating in the training course, he applied knowledge and techniques provided in the course in practice.
"The provincial Farmers' Association provided my family with more than 400 chickens and animal feed. After three months, the chickens grow to an average weight of 2 kg per head. Currently, my family is still participating in the model.” Tien said.
According to the project’s management board, the model has helped participating households realize the importance of using chicken varieties with the origin and quality suitable for the locality. The application of science and technology helps local farmers reduce costs and human resources for raising livestock.
The model’s member households have coordinated with each other to find markets for their products. They signed with units inside and outside the province to sell meat chickens with an average price of 90 - 100,000 VND per kg.
The model helps households in My Hoa commune and those in other communes improve their knowledge and techniques in chain production, and contributed to forming concentrated commodity production areas.
It also helps its members approach and apply synchronously biosafety husbandry measures, and methods for managing livestock waste and the environment.
Vice Chairman of the provincial Farmers' Association Bui Duc Bien said the implementation of economic development models and the establishment of trade associations have contributed to promoting the role played by farmers' association at all levels in developing collective economic models, thus forming value chain-oriented production mindset, expanding production scale, promoting the application of science and technology and improving the productivity, quality and value of products.
In the coming time, the provincial Farmers' Association will coordinate with relevant departments, sectors and businesses to organize vocational training programmes and support local households in applying application of science and technology in producing, preserving, processing and selling products, he said./.

With a focus on cash crop farming with science - technology application and brand building, Lac Thuy district is gradually increasing production value, improving people's life quality, and laying the foundation for sustainable socio-economic development.
In recent years, the economic development model "Hoa Binh Earthworm Farm” run by Mr. Bui Van Dang in Co Giua Hamlet, My Thanh Commune (Lac Son district) has not only brought stable economic value but it is also environmentally friendly, helping to protect and reduce pollution, contributing to the construction of a green and sustainable agriculture.
Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
