High income with an integrated economic model.

Despite his relatively young age, Nguyen Dinh Hop (born in 1991), Head of the Farmers' Association in Dong Luat village, Vinh Thai commune, Vinh Linh district, has successfully developed many different economic models. Thanks to these efforts, over the years, he has not only increased his family's income but has also become a role model for many households in the area to learn from and emulate.

Even though it wasn't a holiday, every afternoon, Mr. Hop and his wife's beachside food and swimming establishment was bustling with customers. Busy setting tables and serving food, the young owner happily reported that this year's customer numbers were higher than in previous years. "During the peak holiday period of April 30th - May 1st, our restaurant was almost full. With so many customers, my wife and I worked tirelessly from morning until late at night, and our income increased as a result," Mr. Hop shared.

Looking at their thriving business today, few would know that this young couple once went through a very difficult period in their entrepreneurial journey. Mr. Hop revealed that before deciding to return to his hometown to start a business in 2016, he had traveled extensively and worked various jobs. Returning to his hometown with the mechanical skills he learned while living in Ho Chi Minh City and a small amount of savings, he decided to open a small mechanical workshop in the area. Initially, he simply welded chicken coops and made iron gates for the villagers.

Over time, thanks to his hard work, the products he made were beautiful and sturdy, earning him the trust of customers who placed larger orders. His mechanical work not only provided his family with a stable monthly income but also created regular jobs for 2-3 unemployed local workers, paying them 3-4 million VND per person per month.

Not content with just the mechanical engineering business, in 2016, taking advantage of their hometown of Vinh Thai, Mr. Hop and his wife invested 200 million VND to build a beach business. However, not long after, the Formosa marine environmental disaster occurred, forcing their family business to shut down.

By 2018, when things had returned to normal, Mr. Hop once again boldly renovated and expanded his business. Fortunately, this time, his business has thrived and continues to this day. Each year, with the profits from the beach business, Mr. Hop and his wife continue to upgrade, renovate, and purchase additional facilities.

At the same time, he and his wife diligently learned how to prepare delicious dishes from many other eateries in the area to attract more tourists . “Besides running the beach business, I also work in fishing for seafood like shrimp, fish, and squid...”

"This job not only ensures my restaurant always has a plentiful supply of fresh food, but also contributes to increasing my family's income because I can work year-round, whereas beachside businesses only last for 4-5 months in the summer," Mr. Hop said.

In addition to the above models, his family also raises sows. According to Mr. Hop, raising sows is not too difficult.

However, it is necessary to focus on increasing feeding frequency; supplementing with clean water and creating a comfortable environment for the pigs so that farming is less strenuous and achieves the highest efficiency. These economic models have brought the couple an income of over 250 million VND per year.

Besides focusing on developing his family's economy, as a branch chairman, Mr. Hop also enthusiastically helps, shares, and guides many farmer members with practical knowledge and experience in livestock farming and crop cultivation.

He is also one of the enthusiastic and energetic association officials at the grassroots level, actively participating in activities in the residential area; actively promoting and encouraging members to change the structure of crops and livestock; applying scientific and technological advancements to production and animal husbandry, increasing family income, and contributing to the construction of new rural areas. Thanks to this, Mr. Hop is loved and trusted by the members of the branch association and highly appreciated by farmers' associations at all levels.

Not stopping there, Mr. Hop said he is currently developing many potential models and projects for the future.

Sharing his experience in building an economic model, Mr. Hop said: "In my opinion, to do business effectively, you must proactively learn, be creative, dare to think, and dare to act. Once you have the knowledge about the model you need to implement, along with determination, I believe you will achieve success."
