Accessing information and building effective and sustainable economic models.

In the National Target Program for Sustainable Poverty Reduction giai đoạn 2021 - 2025, "Information-Based Poverty Reduction" is identified as a key solution, helping people access policies, learn effective production models, and innovate their thinking on economic development. Thanks to timely and relevant information, many households have boldly adopted new approaches, built stable livelihoods, and contributed to the effective achievement of sustainable poverty reduction goals.

The cinnamon garden covers 6 hectares and belongs to the family of Mr. Dang Van Nhi.

Once a poor household in Bao Ha commune, the family of Mr. Dang Van Nhi in Bong 2 village has now achieved a stable and enviable life: a spacious house, 6 hectares of cinnamon trees currently yielding harvests, grown-up children, and a warm, happy family. Since the 1990s, recognizing the economic benefits of cinnamon trees when some households in the village brought seedlings from Van Yen to plant, Mr. Nhi and his wife boldly followed suit, proactively learning cultivation techniques from practice. Gradually expanding their area, the family now owns 6 hectares of cinnamon trees.

Previously, due to limited access to information, Mr. Dang Van Nhi's family lacked proficiency in some advanced farming techniques, leading to pest damage to a portion of their cinnamon plantation; they also did not prioritize developing the cinnamon raw material area in an organic and sustainable direction. However, through media channels and newspapers, he promptly updated his knowledge, changed his production mindset, boldly switched to organic cinnamon farming, and became a pioneering household in this model in the locality.

Originally from Hung Yen province, Do Chi Tuan, from Lang Dau village, Phuc Khanh commune, moved to Lao Cai province with his family to start a new life. He is a pioneer in growing V2 oranges in the commune. With the experience he accumulated from his family, he successfully developed a V2 orange farming model on 7 hectares, bringing in hundreds of millions of dong annually. Thanks to information from newspapers and social media, and seeing the success of many farmers with fruit tree cultivation models, Do Chi Tuan decided to experiment with other citrus fruits. He planted Canh oranges, lemons, pomelos, etc., and all were successful, yielding high harvests.
