The support program was implemented for 17 households in Da Tong, Da Long and Da M'rong communes, with a total area of ​​10.5 hectares. Each household was supported with a scale of 0.2 - 1.0 hectares depending on actual conditions.

According to the support mechanism, the State will support 70% of the cost, and the people will contribute 30%, with a total implementation cost of over 200 million VND.
