In 2009, the Agricultural Development Denmark Asia (ADDA) provided agricultural training support for farmers in the commune. The association of farmers in Thanh Lap established a group of organic vegetable production with eight members on a model area of 3,511 square meters.

Recognising the sustainable efficiency and environmental protection of organic vegetable production, the People’s Committee of Thanh Lap commune has assigned the association of farmers to coordinate to provide vocational training for youngsters and encourage them to set up groups.

By 2016, the commune established five groups in Dong Suong and Song hamlets with 33 members, growing organic vegetables on 2.85 hectares.

Since 2012, these groups have been operating effectively, bringing high incomes for farmers.

To utilise land for production development, the association of farmers encouraged households in Dong Suong to take part in building models for land management, especially in land consolidation.

Taking Dong Suong organic agriculture cooperative as the core, Dong Suong has formed large fields and seasonal production. The movement of encouraging farmers to do business and develop production has been promoted.

Economic development models have become more diverse, including cultivation, livestock and agricultural services. In order to have capital for production, members from the association of farmers have joined the group of loans.

They are entrusted to borrow loans from the Quan Trang branch of the Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development. To date, the debt of farmers in Dong Suong hamlet was estimated at 1.5 billion VND.

Annually, 85 percent of household members register for effective production and business. 55 percent of good production and business households have been recognised. More and more farmers have income of 100 million VND – 1 billion VND per year./.
