Escape poverty by daring to think and daring to act.

With their strong will to succeed, thirst for knowledge, and determination to avoid poverty, Ms. Duong Thi Huong and Mr. Trieu Hong Nguyen, a couple from Hoa Binh hamlet, Quan Chu commune, have gradually built an effective integrated economic model, leading to an increasingly prosperous and comfortable life on their homeland.

New economic model: A driving force for poverty reduction.

Making money from an integrated fruit farming model.

Besides farming and livestock raising, her family also invests in businesses that generate a considerable income.

Despite owning nearly 1 hectare of farmland, due to a lack of capital, experience, and a failure to find a suitable direction, most of the family's land was left fallow. Their main source of income relied on small-scale, fragmented agricultural production, resulting in a constant struggle to make ends meet.

Refusing to remain trapped in poverty, Mr. Nguyen and Ms. Huong were determined to change their mindset and approach. Besides actively visiting and learning from successful economic models both locally and internationally, they also made time to read books and newspapers and search for information online to research production models suitable for their family's circumstances.

Areas with high ground and good drought resistance were planned for planting about 2 acres of hybrid tea. Recognizing that quality is the decisive factor in product output, from the beginning the family applied VietGAP and organic farming practices, limiting the use of chemicals, ensuring consumer safety and protecting the environment.

In addition, about 6-7 acres of land were converted to rice and other crops using new, high-yielding, and high-quality varieties. Thanks to the bold application of scientific and technological advancements in production, crop yields have steadily increased. Not only does this ensure food security for the family, but agricultural products also serve as feed for livestock, significantly reducing production costs.

Recognizing livestock farming as a crucial economic development direction, the family regularly maintains two breeding sows to raise commercial pigs, selling approximately 20 pigs per batch. In addition, they raise nearly 100 chickens and ducks of various breeds. This integrated farming and livestock model has helped the family effectively utilize available resources and generate a stable income.

With a diversified economic model encompassing farming, livestock raising, and service businesses, the family earns an average of about 200 million VND per year. From just having enough to eat, the family now has savings. They have built a spacious house, bought a car, and acquired many modern amenities.
