With the model of intercropping durian in coffee gardens, Mr. Ha Dang Thuan (O Pech village, Ia Pech commune, Ia Grai district) earns billions of dong each year. Sharing his production and business experience, Mr. Thuan said: Before applying modern technology, his family often had to hire a lot of workers to take care of and harvest the crops. However, when harvesting, traders often forced down the price. Since applying modern technology, Mr. Thuan's family knows the temperature in the garden, the humidity of the coffee beans, clearly sees what is in the home garden, only goes to the garden when really necessary... Thanks to that, labor is reduced; productivity, output, and value of agricultural products increase steadily every year. In 2022, his family earned more than 2 billion VND from durian, jackfruit, avocado, coffee, etc. Mr. Thuan said: In 2023, his family will continue to change the crop structure, increase investment in caring for Thai Monthong durian, and link production and business with partners to move towards export.
Mr. Dinh Quang Tuan (Group 2, Thong Nhat Ward, Pleiku City) has also applied technology to production and business. He uses smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices to connect and control the automatic water-saving irrigation system for the strawberry garden, greenhouses for growing hydroponic vegetables, green-fleshed melons, etc. This system not only provides a steady water supply, with just enough quantity needed for the garden, but all fertilizers used are dissolved through the automatic water-saving irrigation system to effectively care for the garden.
Thanks to bold investment and effective construction of the garden-pond-cage model, every year Mr. Vu Trung Bo, in Ia Ake commune, Phu Thien district, Gia Lai province, always ensures a stable income of hundreds of millions of dong.

Mr. Bo said that since the 1990s, his family moved from Yen Mo district, Ninh Binh province to live in Phu Thien district, Gia Lai province, with only 5 sao of land granted, life was very difficult. In 2000, he boldly mortgaged the land, borrowed 10 million VND from the bank to buy cows, grow rice and trade agricultural products. Mr. Bo shared: The bank created conditions not only for me, but for all the people here. The family's capital was only a few tens of millions, but the bank loan was up to 200 million VND, 500 million VND, enough for the family to work, no longer having to work for hire. After 6 months of working, if you have money, you can pay the bank, the bank still allows you to pay gradually.
Also changing his life thanks to boldly borrowing capital to do agriculture, Mr. Vu Xuan Huy, born in 1962, in Breng village, Ia Pet commune, Dak Doa district, Gia Lai province, also has a spacious property and a prosperous life. Mr. Huy said that since the year 2000, when he was still a rubber worker, he realized that the basalt soil in Dak Doa district was very fertile, easy to grow industrial crops. Therefore, Mr. Huy boldly went to the Bank in Dak Doa district to borrow 5 million VND to grow coffee. The profit from coffee trees is always stable at about 50 million VND/ha/year. Every year, he buys more plows, coffee bean milling machines, and makes a spacious drying yard. Mr. Vu Xuan Huy is excited, this is the basis for his family to have a high and sustainable income in the future.
Mr. Y Duc Thanh, Deputy Secretary of Dak Doa District Party Committee, said that in recent times, people in the district have had access to many sources of capital for agricultural development and loan programs under Decree 55/2015/ND-CP, Decision 68/2013/QD-TTg in the field of agriculture and rural areas. This is the support and motivation, helping tens of thousands of farmers to strive and confidently rise up to get rich, thereby contributing to changing the face of the local countryside. Capital from the Bank is an important support to help restructure the agricultural sector in Gia Lai province. Thanks to that, farmers have resources to transform the structure of crops and livestock, apply advanced technology and high technology to production and effectively develop economic development models, creating a large volume of valuable agricultural products and goods.
Promoting the effectiveness of consulting and support activities has created a competitive motivation among members, contributing to promoting and improving the quality of the movement "Farmers compete in good production and business, unite to help each other get rich and sustainably reduce poverty".
The leader of the Gia Lai Provincial Farmers' Association said: In the coming time, the Provincial Farmers' Association will continue to focus on directing all levels of the Association to propagate and train digital transformation in agriculture, apply technology of the 4.0 era, encourage farmers to apply high technology, produce concentrated goods, link along the value chain, connect trade and consume products. Participate in bringing farmers to the e-commerce platform, the Potsmat.vn e-commerce platform, innovate, integrate and determine to create breakthroughs for the development of the agricultural economy, contributing to the construction of ecological agriculture, modern countryside, civilized farmers.
