| Ethnic minorities in Dong Dat commune (Phu Luong) receive breeding buffaloes under Project 2 to support production development in the agricultural sector (under the National Target Program for Sustainable Poverty Reduction). |
At the end of 2024, 12 poor and near-poor Mong households in Phu Do and Dong Dat communes (Phu Luong) were supported with over 110 breeding animals, along with food and feed cutting machines, with a total value of over 600 million VND. This is one of the practical livelihood support models, motivating people to proactively develop their household economy .
Specifically, in Phu Tho hamlet, Phu Do commune, 8 poor and near-poor households belonging to the intensive cattle breeding community group were supported with 17 cows. Meanwhile, in Dong Tam hamlet, Dong Dat commune, 4 households belonging to the goat breeding community group were given 94 breeding goats.
After more than 5 months of implementation, the model has initially shown positive results. The goats of households in Dong Tam hamlet have given birth for the first time; the cows of households in Phu Tho hamlet are also pregnant. Currently, the communes are continuing to support people with the next batch of animal feed, ensuring stable development of the livestock herd.
Mr. Sam Van Pai, in Dong Tam hamlet, Dong Dat commune - one of the households supported in raising breeding goats, happily shared: Now I know the techniques of raising breeding goats. The first herd of goats gave birth, and the young goats were all healthy. The family's way out of poverty has been opened.
Mr. Bui Xuan Cuong, Vice Chairman of Dong Dat Commune People's Committee, said: To support people in raising goats for effective reproduction, the commune has closely coordinated with the district's Department of Ethnic Minorities and Religions to conduct field surveys of each household, determine the needs and capacity for production development. From there, it advises on the establishment of community groups for raising livestock and organizes technical training combined with visits to effective production models in other provinces. Thanks to that, when receiving support, people can immediately start raising livestock with high efficiency.
