Dynamic in economic development

(Quang Ngai Newspaper) - "Starting a business in the countryside is not difficult, there are many jobs to do, the important thing is diligence, hard work and determination", that is the sharing of young people who have chosen to start a business in their homeland. Many people have also innovated and created good ways to develop the family economy .

These days, the flower pot production facility of Mr. Dang Cao Linh (33 years old), in Hai Mon village, Nghia Hiep commune (Tu Nghia), is always bustling and busy to complete orders. Previously, Mr. Linh worked as a seller of ornamental plants and fruit seedlings in other localities. With the desire to develop the economy in his homeland, Mr. Linh thought about and found a direction for production and business from the local traditional profession. Nghia Hiep commune is famous as the capital of flower growing and pot casting.

Mr. Le Minh Vuong, in Phu Khuong village, Hanh Tin Tay commune (Nghia Hanh) takes care of his guava garden.

The pot casting profession is mainly done by hand. Each day, a person can cast at most a few dozen pots. Since then, Mr. Linh has been thinking of ways to increase productivity in the pot casting profession. He researched and purchased components to assemble and test machine-casting pots. After a period of incubation, in early 2024, Mr. Linh officially started machine-casting pots.

“Thanks to the advantages of machine casting, which is fast, durable, and accurate, my facility produces from 500 to 1,000 pots per day, with various sizes such as 50cm, 55cm, 60cm... The selling price is also lower than the manual pot casting method. Besides supplying the domestic market, I also sell pots to Lam Dong and Gia Lai provinces. Recently, an agent in Sa Dec City ( Dong Thap ) also contacted to place an order. I hire 4-5 workers to transport flower pots, helping them earn more income,” said Mr. Linh.

Besides maintaining the business of ornamental plants, seedlings of all kinds, and selling Tet flowers, the profession of molding pots by machine helps Mr. Linh have more income and develop the family economy right on his homeland.

Economic development from cultivation and livestock breeding

In 2022, Mr. Le Minh Vuong (30 years old), in Phu Khuong village, Hanh Tin Tay commune (Nghia Hanh), decided to leave Gia Lai to return to his hometown to start a business. “My family is a farmer, growing fruit trees, so I took advantage of the available land area to develop the economy. However, crops such as corn and cassava require a lot of care, but the income is unstable. Therefore, I looked for ways to grow plants that bring higher economic efficiency. In March 2023, I planted 150 guava trees, and have so far harvested 2 crops, selling for 20,000 VND/kg. I invested in installing an automatic watering system for the plants to save costs and time,” said Mr. Vuong.

From this initial success, Mr. Vuong plans to expand the fruit tree growing model, to form a long-term, sustainable path in family economic development. In addition to farming, Mr. Vuong also invested in building chicken coops, at the most he raised up to 1,200 chickens. Mr. Vuong said, thanks to the Internet, especially YouTube, I have learned farming and breeding techniques to promptly care for and treat crops and livestock that show signs of disease. Currently, I am implementing a model of raising chickens for meat. In the near future, I will deploy free-range chicken farming under the canopy of trees in the garden to take advantage of the shade and natural food, helping the chicken meat to be firmer, tastier and more valuable.

"There is no shortage of jobs for young people in the countryside. As long as you are diligent and willing to work hard, you can accumulate and increase your income. Of course, the process of starting a business also requires taking into account the risks that you may encounter. Nothing is easy," said Mr. Vuong.

In addition to his efforts in production and business, Mr. Vuong is also an active participant in local Youth Union activities. Deputy Secretary of the Youth Union of Hanh Tin Tay commune, Nguyen Minh Duc, said that in recent times, most of the union members and young people have gone to work far away in other cities or at companies and factories, so local activities and movements have been lacking many young people. Therefore, the fact that many union members and young people choose to return to their hometowns to start a business has many practical meanings, contributing to supplementing resources for the Union's work and youth movements; at the same time, developing the local socio-economy.
