(Baonghean.vn) – Due to the custom of farming and raising livestock mainly based on slash-and-burn farming, ethnic minorities in Western Nghe An often set up farms far from residential areas called “xa nam”. These “xa nam” are organized like a village consisting of several households working close together to avoid diseases for livestock and poultry and to facilitate the collection of agricultural products.

| Households with production and livestock land areas close together on the fields in Western Nghe An often establish a separate area called "xa nam". |
 |
| That area is built with houses for living and raising livestock like a village. |
 |
| The locations chosen to establish "far-away" areas are often far from residential areas to avoid the spread of disease to livestock and close to fields for harvesting. |
 |
| Here, people fence off areas to raise buffalo, cows, goats... |

| A pig roaming free under the floor "far away from the year". |
 |
| Chickens are allowed to roam freely all over the place "for years". Many households say that raising chickens and ducks here is the best way to prevent disease. |
 |
| Harvested corn is stored in "far year" warehouses. |
 |
| On holidays, students in the highlands also follow their parents to "sleep in the fields" for a year. |
 |
| When in need, customers can come here to choose to buy "clean" items such as pork, chicken, vegetables... at cheap prices. |
