Agriculture - A foundation for sustainable poverty reduction

Dak Lieng currently has 13 cooperatives operating in the fields of agriculture and services. Over the years, cooperatives have been the “midwives” helping farmers connect, improve quality and stabilize output for products. Among them, Thai Hai Agricultural and Fishery Production and Service Cooperative is one of the leading cooperatives in the field of linking production and consumption of agricultural products in the commune.

With the advantage of fertile alluvial soil, Dak Lieng commune is making efforts to successfully build a local rice brand.

The Cooperative was established in 2012. The unit has implemented many models and projects in association with enterprises inside and outside the province to improve productivity, output, and value of rice and rice seeds. In the period of 2018 - 2019, the Cooperative planned the production area, implemented a large-scale field model with an area of 200 hectares, attracting 124 households to participate, with a total output of 3,780 tons of linked rice. In the period of 2020 - 2025, the Cooperative expanded its association, signed production and consumption contracts with major partners such as Cuong Tan Co., Ltd. (Nam Dinh), Thai Binh Golden Seed Joint Stock Company and Vietnam Seed Group Joint Stock Company - Tay Nguyen Branch, with a total output of 6,273 tons.

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Con, Director of the Cooperative, said that through linking production according to the value chain, member farmers are guaranteed stable output, better prices, and access to advanced production processes and high-quality rice varieties. This model not only increases the scale of commodity production but also serves as a foundation for building the Dak Lieng rice brand, associated with the development of OCOP products.

Besides the development of collective economy , high-income private economic models in Dak Lieng commune also play an important role in creating motivation and premise to help local people apply and improve their lives.

We can mention the egg-laying duck farming model of Ms. Nguyen Thi Ha's family in Buon Tung 1 village. Currently, with a flock of about 10,000 ducks, when reaching optimal output, her family can collect about 8,000 eggs/day. With the wholesale price of duck eggs of about 3,000 - 3,100 VND/egg, her family earns more than 20 million VND per day.

The egg-laying duck farming model has provided a stable source of income for Ms. Nguyen Thi Ha's family in Buon Tung 1 village, Dak Lieng commune for more than 16 years.

“Dak Lieng has vast rice fields and abundant food sources, which are very favorable for raising ducks. Taking advantage of local food sources not only helps reduce production costs but also ensures the quality of free-range duck eggs, a specialty of Dak Lieng commune,” said Ms. Ha.

Not only Ms. Ha's family, the duck-laying model is an effective economic development direction that many households in the commune are applying.

Mr. To Tuan Anh, Chairman of Dak Lieng Commune People's Committee, said that in the coming time, the local Party Committee and government will continue to encourage households and cooperatives to increase the application of science and technology in production and business; create conditions for people to consolidate land to invest in production, creating large commodity production areas. At the same time, proactively seek partners, investment capital, and develop production plans associated with the goal of sustainable poverty reduction in the locality.
