Bac Kan Youth innovate in economic development

BBK - In the context of an increasingly competitive economy that requires creativity, many young people in Bac Kan province have boldly applied technology and innovative thinking to develop the economy.

With just a mobile phone, Mr. Hoang Van Thuong built a sales channel on the tiktok platform.

After graduating from university, Mr. Hoang Van Thuong, Bo Lin village, Vi Huong commune (Bach Thong) did not pursue his major but started a business in his hometown.

With the thought of raising the level of local specialties in the market, Mr. Thuong decided to produce and process pork dishes such as smoked meat and smoked sausage. After many experiments, the product with unique flavor was born. His smoked meat was praised by many people and ordered. These dishes are made from 100% fresh pork taken from reputable slaughterhouses in the area, quality tested, with food safety and hygiene certificates.

In 2022, realizing the business potential on TikTok, Mr. Thuong focused on building a sales channel on this platform. After more than a year of persistently building the channel and continuously livestreaming, Mr. Thuong has succeeded in attracting customers.

Every day, the couple livestreams 2 to 3 times to introduce products and advise customers.

Currently, every day, the couple livestreams on the TikTok account "Smoked Meat Slurp" with more than 34,000 followers from 2 to 3 shifts, each shift lasting more than 3 hours to introduce products and advise customers.

Mr. Thuong shared the reason for choosing his startup model.

Each product is carefully packaged before being sent out, ensuring that its flavor and quality are preserved when it reaches the consumer. To create trust and retain customers, Mr. Thuong and his wife apply a thoughtful customer care policy.

With creativity, perseverance and guaranteed product quality, Mr. Hoang Van Thuong and his wife have had initial success in starting a business through a digital platform. This model has helped his family have a stable income.

Ms. Duong Thi Hang (white shirt) actively participates in fairs and exhibitions to introduce products inside and outside the province.

Just like Mr. Thuong, realizing the potential of local agricultural products that can be processed into healthy products, Ms. Duong Thi Hang, Director of Bac Kan Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Research and Development Cooperative (Bac Kan City) chose to start a business by establishing a Cooperative to process tea and resistant starch from local agricultural products such as: squash, banana, turmeric starch...

However, due to the new establishment, there was a lack of knowledge in introduction and promotion, so the consumption market was quite limited. Therefore, Ms. Hang actively participated in business knowledge training courses; participated in fairs and exhibitions introducing products in and outside the province organized by the Provincial Youth Union, from which she learned experience, promoted products widely, brought products to consumers and found many large partners.

Ms. Hang shares about overcoming difficulties in the process of developing products.

Ms. Duong Thi Hang said: “Currently, our cooperative has 02 3-star OCOP products: fragrant pumpkin tea and TBKBAKA resistant starch product. TBKBAKA resistant starch product is synthesized from resistant starches of banana, green beans, oats, brown rice, turmeric starch, so it is very good for nutritional supplements for all ages. Although the product is new, it is of interest to many customers.”

TBKBAKA resistant starch product of the Cooperative is a 3-star OCOP product.

Over the past time, the Provincial Youth Union has always accompanied and supported union members and young people in starting up and developing the economy through specific activities such as: Discovering, supporting and replicating effective youth economic models; training to provide knowledge and entrepreneurial skills on digital transformation, transferring science and technology in agricultural product processing; promoting and introducing products on social networking platforms... Supporting young people to establish cooperatives and cooperatives to develop collective economy; connecting youth start-up models and products with investors inside and outside the province...

In 2024, the whole province had more than 5,000 young people receiving career counseling and job introduction; nearly 200 young people participated in training to improve knowledge, transfer science and technology, and start-up skills; supported 10 young people to establish cooperatives and cooperatives to develop collective economy; supported the development of nearly 100 economic models...

Mr. Tran Cong Luan, Deputy Secretary of Bac Kan Provincial Youth Union, affirmed that the Youth Union always accompanies young people in starting a business and establishing a career.

With the efforts of the Youth Union, the attention and support of the local government and the Youth Union, the youth of Bac Kan continue to nurture the spirit of creativity, proactiveness, and readiness to overcome all difficulties in the process of starting a business, contributing to building Bac Kan province to develop greenly, quickly, and sustainably.../.
