Mr. Trieu Duc Khuong (in left side of

information to the Commune Farmers Association about the model of orange
planting of his family.
From Highway 6 back over 4 km of high and
zigzag downhill, we went to Dao ethnic hamlet - Binh Tien hamlet, Dan Ha
commune (Ky Son). After over 20 years’ living in a new area, Binh Tien hamlet's
people have has a stable life and this achievement was contributed partly by
Mr. Trieu Duc Khuong who is Secretary of the party cell as well as the Head of
Hamlet Fatherland Front.
Next, we were sitting in a house under the
cool shade of orange trees, and here, Mr. Khuong said that Dao ethnic people in
Binh Tien hamlet came from many places such as Ba Vi, Son Tay, Phu Tho and Kim Boi,
therefore, they were very familiar with nomadic life in the past. In 1987,
according to the state policy of sedentary farming, people chose this land as a
place to settle. In October of 2003, the hamlet party cell was established and
he was one of three first party members. In 2014, he was elected to Secretary
of the party cell. At the position of leader, he was good at the works of
popularizing and mobilizing people to stick with the new land, and seeking the
direction of economic development as well as enhancing the quality of life.
Moreover, the hamlet launched a movement in order to motivate for the local
people, for example, it could organize for people to visit and learn the model
of efficient economy in province twice or three times per year. Particularly,
he and his family were also exemplary and be a pioneer of the movement and
activities, especially in economic development.
Because the economic efficiency gradually
reduced after many years of sugarcane cultivation, he decided to change all the
area around his house to the land for planting orange with the area of one
hectare combining to grow citrus and V2 orange. Now, it is the third year for
harvest. Additionally in growing orange, the area of 0.5 hectares that cannot
be used to grow rice was planted with hybrid Polyscias trees by him. He also
expanded the investment to plant hybrid Polyscias trees at Kim Boi district
with the area of 6 hectares.
As boldness and pioneering in thinking, this
method has brought high income for his family. In 2017, the total income was
about 800 million VND. The hamlet currently has 45 households (including two
poor ones), and their average incomes per person gained 34 million VND per
year. From 2004 to the moment, he has continued to hold position as Secretary of
the party cell, and he has been trusted by people as well as elected to a
prestigious person in the community for many years.
According to Ethnic Division of Ky Son
District People’s Committee, the whole district consists of 79 people
recognized as prestigious people in the community.
