In the spirit of Directive 08 of the Central Party Secretariat and the Resolution of the 20th District Party Congress, term 2015 - 2020, Anh Son district has developed a project on socio-economic development associated with new rural construction, in which in the field of agricultural production, it encourages the development of specialized production areas to increase economic efficiency in the direction of quality and sustainability, ensuring food safety and hygiene.

As one of the three typical households awarded by Anh Son district in the preliminary summary of the campaign "Residential areas say no to dirty food" in 2016, Mr. Ngo Khac Tuan's family in village 4, Hoa Son commune has 3 sao of land specializing in growing various vegetables such as bitter melon, cucumber, kohlrabi, and clean cabbage.

Mr. Tuan shared: “My family always strictly follows the production process of not using chemical pesticides. During the planting and care process, I only spray biological pesticides twice from the beginning to the end of the crop, so as not to cause harm to the health of producers as well as consumers”. Therefore, the products made by the family are purchased directly by traders, on average, Mr. Tuan's family earns 10 million VND/sao per crop.

Meanwhile, Ms. Nguyen Thi Quynh's family in village 7, Cam Son commune, has started implementing a clean livestock model on an 8-hectare hilly area. Currently, her farm has about 1,000 egg-laying hens, 9,000 meat chickens, 30 goats, and 2 fish ponds to serve the regular needs of people in the district and neighboring areas. Thanks to the clean livestock model, without using banned substances, applying livestock farming on biological bedding made from agricultural by-products such as rice husks and sawdust to limit environmental pollution, it brings high economic efficiency. After deducting expenses, each year her family earns a net profit of more than 400 million VND.

With an area of ​​8 hectares of hilly land, in 2010, Ms. Nguyen Thi Quynh's family in village 7, Cam Son commune implemented a clean livestock farming model, so it does not cause environmental pollution.

Discussing the direction of clean livestock production, Mr. Hoang Ba Nhi - Secretary of the Party Committee of Cam Son commune said: The whole commune of Cam Son currently has 33 large and small farm models. Of which, there are 9 pig farms, the total number of pigs sold annually is from 300 - 800, the output of live pigs is from 30 - 70 tons. Regarding vegetable production, the whole commune currently has 50 hectares, concentrated in the guard area, the beach area of ​​hamlet 1/5 and hamlet Hoi Lam, Ha Du, with a variety of vegetables.

Promoting that potential advantage, the Party Committee and People's Committee of Cam Son commune determined that ensuring quality, clean and safe products must always be of concern and focus. Immediately after the 21st Party Congress, Cam Son commune issued a Resolution on local economic development. Based on the resolution, the Party Committee and the People's Committee of Cam Son commune closely followed the practical situation of each village to direct effective implementation.

Each cadre and party member of Cam Son commune has clearly recognized their role and responsibility in mobilizing farmers to use fertilizers and pesticides that ensure safety, without prohibited substances that are harmful to consumers' health in livestock and crop farming. Thanks to that, safe vegetable products of Cam Son people always ensure quality and become a familiar address for consumers.

Many households in Anh Son have adopted a policy of not using banned substances in livestock and crop farming to bring clean products to the market.

Currently, the model has more than 20 hectares with more than 50 households participating in planting, with the current selling price of 5,000 - 6,000 VND/bunch. Calculating the average income from tops and flowers, after deducting expenses, people in village 4, Linh Son commune earn a profit of more than 15 million VND/sao/crop.

Mr. Ngo Khac Tuan's family in village 4, Hoa Son commune always strictly follows the production process of not using chemical pesticides, and was commended by Anh Son district in the preliminary round of the campaign "residential areas say no to dirty food".

Along with that, it is necessary to promote propaganda on the loudspeaker system, in village meetings, thereby building safe production models "from production to consumption". Instruct localities to directly guide and advise farmers on how to choose and use animal feed, pesticides on the list of permitted use, be aware of environmental protection, collect pesticide shells and packaging, and fertilizers after use. Immediately after the first launch, there were 46 typical livestock and crop models in the whole district, through which the district Fatherland Front commended and rewarded 27 collectives and 14 outstanding individuals.
