(HBO) - Established in August 2022, Tam Cuong Tan Minh multi-industry cooperative (Da Bac) chose to raise the local indigenous pig breed and supply pork products under the brand of Tan Minh. This pig breed has small legs, a small muzzle, delicious meat, and a slim belly with little fat. They easily adapt to the harsh living environment, and have been around in Da Bac district for a long time.

Xa Thi Sinh, Tram hamlet, Tan Pheo commune (Da Bac), raises indigenous pig to help increase livelihoods and income.

Ha Thi Tam, Chairwoman of the Board of Directors and Director of the cooperative, said that before the cooperative was set up, her family had supplied indigenous pork products in Da Bac district to many markets. As pigs are raised in gardens and hills, they have delicious meat. To date, the cooperative has about 2,000 heads of native black pigs raised by 53 households.

Products are supplied to such markets as Hanoi, Hai Phong, Hung Yen, Hai Duong, Bac Ninh and Hoa Binh.

Xa Thi Sinh, Tram hamlet, Tan Pheo commune, said that after her family has raised a herd of more than 10 heads, feeding them with vegetables in the garden. This kind of pig is easy to sell at a high price and at any time.

Ha Van Vung in Tram hamlet, Tan Pheo commune, who has been raising indigenous pigs for many years, shared: "Previously, I raised only a few heads of pigs for family use. Compared to other pig breeds, this breed grows slowly, but the cost is low while the cooperative's purchasing price is always high and stable. Economically, raising pigs is still more effective than raising other livestock, so my family expanded our herd. With an area of about 3 hectares, my family fenced a hill to raise more than 70 heads of pigs, the barn is simple, and we do not have to take much care of them. I plan to continue multiplying the herd to about 200 heads. This is a suitable direction for locals in mountainous Da Bac district”.
