Dare to change
Having been involved in coffee cultivation for many years, Ms. Ka Hong's family (in Da Nung B village), like many other households, has always faced difficulties due to fluctuating market prices and unstable production efficiency. Concerned about finding a new direction to develop her family's economy , she decided to convert a portion of her production area to mulberry cultivation and silkworm farming. In the early days of this new model, she encountered many difficulties due to a lack of experience and technical knowledge. However, with determination, she proactively participated in training courses and learned from successful silkworm farmers both within and outside the locality to apply to her production.
Thanks to diligent learning and gradual accumulation of experience, the family's mulberry cultivation and silkworm rearing model has become increasingly stable. Income from silkworm cocoons has provided the family with additional resources to invest in expanding production and improving their quality of life. Ms. Ka Hong shared: “Initially, I was worried because I had never raised silkworms before. But through learning from experienced people and receiving training from the local authorities, I gradually grasped the care process. Currently, mulberry cultivation and silkworm rearing provides a more stable income than before, allowing the family to confidently develop economically.”
Besides mulberry cultivation and silkworm rearing, many people in the commune are exploring and boldly choosing new production directions to increase the economic value of the same cultivated land. One typical model is the grey oyster mushroom farm of Mr. Hoang Van Trung (Dam Pao village). Driven by the desire to create a stable income for his family, Mr. Trung spent a lot of time researching mushroom cultivation techniques and visiting successful models both within and outside the locality. Mr. Hoang Van Trung said: “In the early years, I faced many failures due to a lack of technical expertise. At times, the mushrooms were infected with disease, resulting in low yields. However, I always strived to learn, update my knowledge, and gradually improve the production process. Currently, the model is stable and brings quite good economic results.”
To date, Mr. Hoang Van Trung has built three mushroom farms with a total area of approximately 600 m². Each day, the farms supply the market with 100-120 kg of commercial mushrooms. After deducting production costs, the model generates an income of about 20 million VND per month.

Disseminating effective economic models.
According to local authorities, models such as Ms. Ka Hong's mulberry cultivation and silkworm rearing, or Mr. Hoang Van Trung's grey oyster mushroom cultivation, are evidence of the proactive and innovative spirit in production among the people of Phu Son, Lam Ha. By boldly transforming their production structure, applying technological advancements, and actively learning from experience, many households have built sustainable livelihoods, increased their income, and are gradually achieving legitimate wealth.
Ms. Dinh Thi Thu Thuy, Chairwoman of the People's Committee of Phu Son commune, Lam Ha district, said that in recent times, the locality has always focused on disseminating information and encouraging people to change the structure of crops and livestock to suit the actual conditions, while also creating conditions for people to access training programs, technology transfer, and sources of capital support for production development.
Thanks to the synchronized implementation of economic development solutions linked to poverty reduction efforts, the lives of people in the commune are increasingly improving. By the end of 2025, the multidimensional poverty rate of the commune will decrease to 2.53%; and the average per capita income will reach 60 million VND/person/year.
