The Nova green squash growing model of member Pham Van Tuyen, Vinh Son village, Vinh Hao commune (Bac Quang) is considered a typical economic model, bringing high income. Mr. Tuyen shared: “In 2022, after studying experience, I conducted a trial planting of Nova green squash. After 1 trial planting, I realized that the climate and soil were suitable, so I planted it on the entire 1.5 ha of my family's production land. Each year, squash is harvested 3 times, my family earns over 600 million VND”. Up to now, many other families have learned from Mr. Tuyen's family's experience of growing Nova green squash, bringing in a stable income.

Union member Ly Van Minh, Lang Khen village, Dao Duc commune (Vi Xuyen) borrowed capital to raise commercial pigs.

Starting out as a poor household in Lang Khen village, Dao Duc commune (Vi Xuyen), member Ly Van Minh was supported by the Central Youth Union with 50 million VND. After receiving the support, Minh boldly borrowed more capital from the Policy Bank under the capital source supporting young people to start businesses and develop the economy to buy breeding animals and open a small farm. Up to now, his family has a herd of 75 pigs and nearly 1,000 chickens and ducks, all of which are in a good growth stage. Mr. Minh shared: “At first, when we decided to borrow money, my family was also afraid that we would not be able to repay it, because our income was still unstable. Then, with the encouragement of the Youth Union officials, the Party Committee, the local government, and the desire and determination to escape poverty, I converted the garden into a livestock area and borrowed money to buy breeding animals. Up to now, although we still have no income, the pigs, chickens, and ducks are all growing healthily. We will try to pay off the debt soon, not become a burden, and hope to contribute a small part to the socio-economic development of the locality.”
