Farmers earn billions of dong from commercial cattle and buffalo farming.

(Baonghean.vn) - Thanks to commercial cattle farming, many families in Thanh Chuong (Nghe An) have become millionaires. The district aims to have approximately 45,000 commercial cattle and buffaloes by 2020, with an export meat output of over 2,000 tons, and the proportion of income from cattle and buffalo farming within the livestock sector accounting for 10-11%.

Mr. Thanh's family in Thanh Thuy commune earns 1 billion VND annually from raising cattle for commercial purposes.

Mr. Nguyen Sy Thanh, residing in Hamlet 7, Thanh Thuy Commune, decided to move to the Khe Mu area to raise cattle and buffalo for commercial purposes. Starting in 2008, with the assistance of the commune's Farmers' Association, his family borrowed 30 million VND and, along with some family capital, purchased 8 breeding cows. Within about two years, the herd doubled. Currently, his family owns over 80 cattle and buffalo, including 30 breeding cows and 10 mother buffaloes, along with over 7 hectares of acacia trees. On average, his family earns nearly 1 billion VND per year.

Thanh Thuy is a mountainous commune with vast land potential, ideal for livestock development, especially cattle, pigs, and poultry. Over the years, thanks to the attention of local government leaders, who have prioritized the Farmers' Association's economic development, particularly in commercial cattle farming, the commune's poverty rate has been reduced to 2%.

The yellow cattle herd in Thanh Chuong is being prioritized to increase meat production to meet market demand.

In recent years, Thanh Chuong district has focused on developing commercial buffalo and cattle herds with mechanisms and policies providing preferential loans and technical support to households. The goal is to have approximately 45,000 commercial buffalo and cattle by 2020, with an export meat output of over 2,000 tons, and buffalo and cattle farming accounting for 10-11% of the total income within the livestock sector.
