Especially in the communes of Thuc Luyen, Dich Qua, Son Hung, Vo Mieu and Van Mieu, safe tea growing and processing models have achieved high productivity and quality, generating income of over 200 million VND/ha/year... proving the strong spread of the emulation movement for good production and business in the fields of agriculture, forestry, small-scale industry and services and have become the focus of rural socio-economic life, motivating farmers to innovate their thinking, dare to think, dare to do, and gradually become rich legitimately.
The family of Mrs. Nguyen Thi Son, in Quyet Tien area, is one of the typical households with good economic development in Cu Dong commune. Mrs. Son has cleverly combined the business of growing ornamental plants and fruit trees with livestock and producing activated bamboo charcoal, creating a diverse and effective economic model in the locality. On an area of over 2 hectares, her family grows fruit trees such as guava, jackfruit, grapefruit along with seasonal vegetables. In addition, the activated bamboo charcoal production workshop also contributes significantly to the family's stable income. Thanks to that, each year, the total income of Mrs. Son's family reaches nearly 1 billion VND.
Ms. Son shared: “Thanks to the active support of the Commune Farmers’ Association, especially through training courses and field trips, I have accumulated a lot of knowledge, from which I am confident in applying it to production. Each harvest is an opportunity for me to gain experience and adjust techniques to improve crop quality and economic efficiency.”
Not only focusing on developing the family economy, Ms. Son is also an active member of the Fruit Tree Growing Professional Association of the area, regularly supporting and guiding other households on tree care techniques. Her family's model has created stable jobs for 4-5 local workers with a salary of 5 million VND per month; connecting with traders to buy agricultural products, helping people in the area to consume products more conveniently.
Mr. Dinh Xuan An - Chairman of the Farmers' Association of Cu Dong Commune said: In order to promote the effectiveness of the emulation movement, the Association has actively innovated its operating methods, grasped the thoughts and aspirations of its members to have appropriate support measures. Consulting, training, support, service and vocational training activities for farmers to develop production and business have been promoted. Right from the beginning of the year, the Association organized a campaign to register good production and business households and poor households overcoming difficulties, associated with the movement to build new rural areas.
Thanh Son district currently has 13 professional associations, 24 professional association groups, 21 cooperative groups and 38 cooperatives, of which 2 typical cooperatives were directly supported by the Association to establish and operate, namely Luong Nha vegetable and fruit cooperative and Vo Mieu organic products cooperative. In addition, the Association has focused on effectively implementing capital support. The Farmers Support Fund managed by the district is currently lending to projects with a total amount of more than 6 billion VND, supporting 175 households. In addition, the capital entrusted from the Social Policy Bank is up to 198 billion VND, helping over 3,800 member households borrow to develop production and business.
Leveraging capital from the Farmers Support Fund, Luong Nha Vegetable and Fruit Cooperative has developed a green apple growing model that brings stable income to its members.
Comrade Nguyen Thi Quynh Chau - Vice President of Thanh Son District Farmers' Association emphasized: The movement of farmers competing in production and good business in recent years has really brought about clear results. Especially the spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance between good production and business households and poor farming households. Every year, these households have helped from 200 to 250 households with capital, seeds, livestock and production techniques. On average, each year, about 50 households are supported to escape poverty.
Notably, from the movement, many farmers have boldly invested in exploiting local potential and strengths; applied advanced techniques, built models of fattening livestock, growing milk grapes, guava, green apples meeting VietGAP standards... Since then, many typical local agricultural products have not only affirmed their quality in the market but also enhanced the agricultural value chain. To date, the whole district has had 34 agricultural products meeting OCOP standards of 3 stars or higher.
Promoting the achieved results, in the coming time, the Farmers' Association at all levels of Thanh Son district will continue to promote coordination, strengthen the direction of production development; effectively utilize investment capital from support programs; promote propaganda and consulting on production organization methods. Along with that, it is necessary to strengthen inspection, supervision, and timely summary of the movement's activities, linking the movement with studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality, and style as well as building new rural areas.
The movement of farmers competing in production and good business has brought about positive changes in the thinking and actions of Thanh Son farmers. Thereby, promoting internal strength, creativity, and initiative in economic development, job creation, sustainable poverty reduction, gradually affirming the role of the Farmers' Association as a reliable support, accompanying members on the journey to get rich and develop the homeland.
