(HBO) Over the past years, the Youth Union members of Chi Dao commune (Lac Son) have explored new ways to develop the economy, promoting the volunteering role of the young people in the socio-economic development of the locality.


Bui Van Manh's mixed nursery of Doi seeds (michelia tonkinensis - on the left), Be Duoi hamlet, Chi Dao commune (Lac Son) brings a high economic efficiency.

Mr. Bui Van Du, the Secretary of the Youth Union of the commune said that in the economic development impetus, there were youth union members who were really quick at grabbing the market demand, opening the nurseries to supply the customers with the indigenous michelia tonkinensis trees.  Their annual income is hundreds of millions VND. Typically, the models of raising pigs for meat are Mr. Bui Van Tan, Be Tren hamlet and Mr. Bui Van Trong, Be Ngoai hamlet.

We have the opportunity to visit the nursery model of Mr. Bui Van Manh's family in Be Duoi hamlet. Mr. Manh belongs to 9X generation but now he has built quite a suitable nursery, providing tens of thousands of seedlings to the market every year, bringing an income of a few hundred million VND. Mr. Manh said that his family had once a nursery, but the scale was small and the economic efficiency was not very high, just enough to support the family.

Realizing the economic value of michelia tonkinensis, he discussed with his family to expand the nursery to provide the market with michelia tonkinensis seedlings. Mr. Manh succeeded in transplanting the tree and this was the turning point of this start-up journey. Mr. Manh told "With the transplanted michelia tonkinensis, it takes only 4 years from planting to harvesting, while it takes 7 years for the normal michelia tonkinens, so they are quite popular in the market. I myself have learned the techniques and met many failures before having a nursery like today”.

In 2018, the youths of the commune organized many activities to repair, clean up the rural roads, actively participated in undertaking voluntary work associated with building a new countryside. They also arranged time to visit and give gifts, to help the policy families and meritorious people on war invalids and martyrs on July 27 holidays and New Year days. The youth members were mobilized to take part in in the voluntary blood donation with 25 participants. In addition, the Youth Union of the commune also collaborated with Hoa Binh University (Hanoi) to organize summer activities for the children and give gifts to poor students to overcome difficulties.
