Hundred million village in Thanh Chuong

(Baonghean.vn) - From a poor land, in recent years Minh Nhuan village, Thanh Ngoc commune, Thanh Chuong district has risen to become a "hundred million village" -Leading the district in terms of agricultural land exploitation results thanks to workfarm economics

Minh Nhuan is a land located at the foot of Nguoc mountain and some hills of Muoi Thung system, low and high land, and sandbanks are very difficult to produce and raise livestock. About 5 years ago, after the locality converted land and built new rural areas, many households in Minh Nhuan village invested in family farming economy.

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thuong's farm, one of the models with high income of hundreds of millions of dong/year in Minh Nhuan village.

As one of the first households to receive the field, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Ngoc rented a machine to dig the pond and raise fish. He took advantage of the area around the pond to plant elephant grass and bananas, creating a natural food source and invested in raising additional livestock: pigs, chickens, and ducks.

Mr. Nguyen Dinh Ngoc's family's chicken and pig farm system produces 4 batches each year, bringing in a high income.

Learning from the experience of some previous local farm models, Mr. Ngoc's family mainly raises grass carp, common carp and silver carp. These are fish species that eat impurities from livestock farming, so they can take advantage of water layers, ensure environmental hygiene and are a fish species favored by the market. With experience in limiting fish diseases, he regularly cleans the pond, changes the water and after 3 years drains and uses lime powder to clean the pond environment.

As for other livestock, chickens and pigs are raised together, while ducks are raised separately right next to the pond and are cared for differently. Sharing his experience in raising them, Mr. Ngoc said: Ducks lay eggs at night and do not like noise, so they cannot be raised together with chickens. In the early stages of each type of livestock, industrial feed must be used, and in the final stages, only corn bran, beer residue, and cassava residue are used. Thanks to self-supply of breeds and application of disease prevention techniques, the livestock of the farm have developed well.

In addition, Mr. Ngoc's family also raises free-range chickens, with hundreds of chickens, taking advantage of available natural food sources.

On an area of ​​1 hectare pond, and hundreds of pigs, chickens, and ducks raised annually, Mr. Ngoc's family earns a profit of 150-200 million VND.

Currently in Minh Nhuan, there are over 70/190 households doing family farms with a total area of ​​70 hectares. Of which, 50 hectares of land are redistributed and about 50 hectares are rented from people in Ngoc Son commune and the district's old livestock farm. On average, each family farm generates an income of about 150 million VND. Each year, Minh Nhuan village earns over 10 billion VND from developing family farm economy.

Realizing the effectiveness of the comprehensive household economic model, bringing high income, many households in Thanh Ngoc commune focused on investing in building solid houses and barn systems to develop this model.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Nhi - Head of Minh Nhuan village said: Farms and ranches in the area mainly raise fish, pigs, chickens and ducks. The scale of the farms is increasingly expanding, the quality of the products is guaranteed so traders come to the households to buy; people do not have to bring them to retail markets.

Currently, many localities in Thanh Chuong district have learned and applied the model of developing household economy in Minh Nhuan. Particularly in Thanh Ngoc commune, 100% of hamlets have developed the household economy model.

To promote the development of the family farm economic model, aiming to replicate the "hundred million villages", Thanh Chuong District People's Committee has invested 200 million VND for the locality to upgrade and expand the main road to the family farm area of ​​Thanh Ngoc commune; creating momentum for the development of local commodity livestock farming in the coming time.
