At first, due to lack of experience, Linh and his wife only maintained the cultivation and sale of fruit tree seedlings as his mother had done before. In 2017, realizing the increased demand for construction trees, the couple decided to switch from fruit trees to the construction tree business.
Along with renting more land from households in the commune, Mr. Linh has cooperated with many households in localities inside and outside the province to expand the area. Currently, on an area of more than 40 hectares of land, he and his wife and associated households maintain the nursery and planting of more than 30 different types of construction trees, creating jobs for nearly 10 local workers. Every year, from his family nursery, Mr. Linh brings to the market nearly 100,000 types of construction trees, mainly Taiwan Banyan, Cassia fistula, Black star apple, etc., earning a profit of more than 1 billion VND/year.
Like Mr. Linh, after more than 10 years working as a garment worker at enterprises in Hanoi, in 2010, Ms. Duong Thi Hoi, also residing in Hoang Lien village, returned to her hometown to start her own business.

Due to lack of capital, when she first started her business, Ms. Hoi only bought 5 industrial sewing machines and opened a sewing workshop at home. With her skills and existing relationships, the orders kept coming in more and more, from the initial 5 sewing machines she increased to 7 and then 20. In September 2019, Ms. Hoi invested in buying 2 sewing lines with 50 machines, establishing Hoang Lien Garment Limited Liability Company with her as director.
The production scale is increasingly expanding, in early 2022, she rented more than 1,000 square meters of land to build a modern factory and bought 50 more machines, changing the company's name to Ha An Fashion Garment Joint Stock Company. Currently, the enterprise creates jobs with an average income of 8 million VND/person/month for 70 local workers. "What I am most happy about is not only the stable economy but also being able to work on my homeland, contributing to improving people's lives, building my homeland more and more beautiful", Ms. Hoi shared.
