In Thanh Ha commune, the Provincial Farmers' Association has handed over a model of breeding goats to 3 farmer households with 21 breeding goats (each household has 7 breeding goats). The Provincial Farmers' Association and Thanh Chuong district also supported households in training on breeding goats and mixed feed for livestock. They also directed and guided households to repair, upgrade and build barns according to technical standards.

In Thanh Xuan commune, the delegation attended the fish seed release and raw material purchasing program organized by Thanh Chuong District Farmers' Association in coordination with TYP NATURA Limited Liability Company.

Accordingly, the Thanh Chuong District Farmers' Association supported the connection of a supplier of 4 tons of fish fry to help Mr. Nguyen Canh Chung's household in Thanh Ha commune raise fish at Trang Khong dam, Thanh Xuan commune. Trang Khong dam has a large water surface area for fish farming, but previously people only raised fish in an extensive manner, which has not yet brought about economic efficiency.

The District Farmers’ Association connects with businesses to supply fish breeds and long-term product consumption for households to improve product quality and value, and long-term product consumption for farmers. This is a new model, a new direction to help farmers promote the potential and advantages of the locality to develop the economy and increase farmers’ income.

Comrade Nguyen Quang Tung - Chairman of the Provincial Farmers' Association assessed: This is a meaningful work, directly helping farmers have more production materials, improve their lives; gradually forming production households, building and establishing professional associations. Thereby, gradually changing farmers' awareness from small-scale production to applying science and technology in commodity-oriented production, production according to the value chain, bringing high economic value efficiency per unit area.

The Provincial Farmers' Association will continue to play a good role as a bridge with the motto "propaganda associated with typical examples, mobilization associated with guidance"; coordinate with farmers' associations at all levels and relevant departments and branches to continue to propagate, connect, deploy and replicate new models to help farmer members promote their potential and advantages, develop the economy, and increase income for people./.
