Bau Dung area raises wild ducks of Mr. Nguyen Ke Sy in hamlet 3, Nghi Kieu commune (Nghi Loc).

In 2013, realizing that the Bau Dung arid sand area of ​​the commune was suitable for raising mallard ducks, Mr. Nguyen Ke Sy contracted 0.5 hectares to invest in raising them. Initially, he went to Bac Giang to buy 250 mallard ducks, at 50,000 VND/bird to raise and invested more than 50 million VND to build a barn.

After more than 1 year of grazing, the flock of mallards has adapted quite well to the natural environment and climate conditions in Nghi Kieu land, so it has grown and developed very quickly. Up to now, the total flock of mallards on his farm is nearly 2,000. The average weight of each duck is from 1 to 1.5 kg/duck. In addition, he also raises pigs, takes advantage of the water surface area of ​​ponds to raise fish, and earns more than 50 million VND each year.

Up to now, his duck and fish farm has brought in nearly 200 million VND in annual income. His livestock model has contributed to changing the structure of local crops and livestock, finding new livestock farming directions for local people. In the near future, he plans to develop duck breeds to supply markets inside and outside the district.

Mr. Sy shared: “There is no such thing as a difficult land, only people who are not willing to work hard. The most important thing is to find the right direction, and to be truly passionate, determined and hardworking. Only then can we succeed.”

Mr. Ho Van Ninh - Vice Chairman of Nghi Kieu Commune People's Committee (Nghi Loc) said: "Mr. Nguyen Ke Sy is a pioneer in implementing the restructuring of crops and livestock. Mr. Sy's model of raising wild ducks not only contributes to hunger eradication and poverty reduction but also opens up a new direction for farmers in the area to learn. The local government is encouraging people to learn from the experience to replicate the model."

The initial success of Nguyen Ke Sy's duck farm is a new direction for people to promote the strengths and potentials of the locality, contributing to building an increasingly prosperous homeland.
