Mr. Ro shared: "The cooperative develops clean livestock farming, the main food is green vegetables, cooked rice mixed with rice bran, especially not using industrial bran or growth stimulants.

The pig farms are carefully treated to ensure environmental hygiene. The raising time is about 6 months, twice as long as industrial raising, the weight of the pig is from 40-50kg/pig. The pork is fragrant and crispy, especially this breed of pig is called "fragrant pig" because the meat has a light, very characteristic aroma.

Feed for the domestic pigs (domestic pigs are a breed of pig raised in Cao Bang province) consists mainly of green vegetables and cooked rice mixed with rice bran.
