Women who overcome difficulties to become rich

(Quang Ngai Newspaper) - With a spirit of enthusiastic work, many members and women in the province have strived to overcome difficulties and build effective economic models.

Having worked in an office, but with the desire to build an agricultural model to develop the family economy and increase income, more than 5 years ago, Ms. Kieu Thi Thanh Tuyen (42 years old), in Tu Cung village, Tinh Khe commune (Quang Ngai city), decided to quit her job. That was also a big turning point in Ms. Tuyen's life, starting a journey full of effort, perseverance and overcoming difficulties to get rich in her homeland. "Although I know that giving up a stable, easy job to start agricultural production and build a livestock model is not easy. But I believe that only when I dare to change, dare to start over, will I have the opportunity to break through and be more successful," Ms. Tuyen shared.

Taking advantage of her family's large garden, far from residential areas, Ms. Tuyen invested in building livestock and crop models. Ms. Tuyen built solid, spacious barns with a total area of ​​over 200 square meters to develop livestock farming. She also diligently attended training courses, learning how to care for livestock and prevent diseases. "In the first year of raising pigs and cows, I went step by step, raising a few pigs on trial, not rushing to invest in large quantities. When I had mastered the techniques and care, in the second year, I raised large quantities for higher profits. The garden is large, so I grow grass and sweet potato leaves to increase the source of green food for pigs and cows. Currently, I raise 4 breeding cows, 8 sows and several dozen pigs. On average, each year, from breeding sows, I sell about 200 - 300 piglets and pigs, 2 - 3 calves," Ms. Tuyen said.

In addition to raising livestock, Ms. Tuyen takes advantage of the vacant land around her house to grow more green vegetables to supply some local markets. The vegetables she grows are organic, limiting the use of chemicals, so they are favored by consumers. “Over the years, the family's economic models have developed quite well, bringing in high and stable income. Although farming is harder than office work, I can take the initiative with my time and the family economy is improving day by day. In the coming time, I will continue to expand and develop livestock farming on a larger scale, aiming to build a farm,” Ms. Tuyen said.

Building a comprehensive economic model

Regarding Dong Quang residential group, Pho Van ward (Duc Pho town), when mentioning Ms. Vo Thi Tuong Vi (42 years old), everyone praises her for her diligence, hard work and spirit of overcoming difficulties to develop the family economy.

When she first got married, Vi and her husband faced many difficulties and had no capital to develop production. Thanks to the support of the Women's Union of the ward, Vi boldly borrowed preferential loans from the Social Policy Bank to build barns and buy breeding cows. From a few initial breeding cows, Vi developed a herd of crossbred cows to 8; on average, she sells 8 calves each year. Vi is also diligent and willing to rent more land for farming, with more than 3 hectares of rice, 2 hectares of watermelon and several acres of vegetables. "When raising cows, it takes a year for the cows to give birth and have calves to sell, so to increase income, I rent more land for farming. My husband and I do most of the work of tilling the land and taking care of the plants; only when it is time to sow and harvest do I hire seasonal workers. On average, each year, I harvest about 30 tons of rice, 50 tons of watermelon and green vegetables to sell at the markets," Vi said happily.

Thanks to her diligence and calculation in production, Ms. Vi's family's economy is increasingly prosperous, allowing her to take care of her children's education. Not only working enthusiastically, Ms. Vi also actively participates in activities launched and implemented by the Women's Union of the ward, such as cooking charity porridge for the poor, helping many members in difficulty. Chairwoman of the Women's Union of Pho Van Ward Huynh Thi Yen Nga commented that although her family's work is very busy, Ms. Vi is always enthusiastic and actively participates in activities launched by the Union. At the same time, she is willing to share her business experience with many members and women, helping many women have more motivation to rise out of poverty.
