Three typical and effective groups in the locality are those to develop citrus trees, chicken and breeding cow.

With 16 members, the breeding cow cooperation group in Nghia Kep currently has 37 cows. Incomes of its members are from middle to high level.

So far, the model has been expanded to the whole village, bringing the total cows to 60, contributing to enhancing per capita income for locals to 17 million VND in 2018 and expectedly 20 million VND in 2019.
