Not only does it bring economic benefits to his family, his eel farming model also contributes to spreading the entrepreneurial spirit among youth union members.

Graduated from University with a major in Science Education Management, after many years of pursuing his passion, nearly 10 years ago, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Kien returned to his hometown to help his family develop the economy. With his youth and acumen with digital technology, he regularly researched and learned about animal husbandry through social networking platforms, the Internet, and books and newspapers. Realizing that eels cost much more than other freshwater fish, he boldly invested in building an eel pond.

Mr. Nguyen Dinh Kien, Dak Ha commune, Quang Ngai province shared:
“I love and am attached to my homeland, so I came back to work and develop. I also have a passion for aquaculture, from which I researched and learned how to raise eels. I see that the value of eels is higher than other fish, the climate, water source and soil here are also quite suitable for raising this eel.”

With an area of ​​5,000 square meters, he divided it into 5 ponds. Taking advantage of available local resources, he purchased ditch fish from households caught in hydroelectric reservoirs to make fish feed to reduce costs during the farming process. In 2024, his family supplied the market with more than 4 tons of commercial eel, bringing in an income of over 300 million VND.

Mr. Kien shares his experience and guides eel farming techniques to youth union members.

Not only being a role model in economic development, in the role of Secretary of the Youth Union of the Residential Group, Mr. Kien has been a role model and a pioneer in the work of the Youth Union and the youth movement in the locality. He is willing to share his experiences and guide aquaculture techniques for youth union members who have the desire and idea to start a business in his hometown of Dak Ha.
