Accordingly, 32 high-quality breeding calves worth 480 million VND (15 million VND/calf) were given to 32 households in extremely difficult circumstances in the Khe Nong residential area, Chau Khe commune.

Before handing over the cattle to the people, officials from the Ethnic Affairs Department conducted on-site surveys of poor ethnic minority households in the area. They also provided guidance on building barns, animal care techniques, and disseminated information about the policy to ensure the households understood, supported, and effectively implemented it.

According to the project, after 3 years, each participating household will hand over a newborn calf to the local government to continue supporting other poor households.

As a resettlement area established in 2009, Khe Nong currently has 41 households, mainly from the Dan Lai community. Due to their relocation, the people still face many difficulties, particularly a lack of capital and production tools. Therefore, the program to support the provision of breeding cattle contributes to creating conditions for the people to overcome poverty and stabilize their lives.
