Taking advantage of the abundant cold water source from the streams on the high mountains and many years of experience in aquaculture, many households in Nong Cut village have boldly invested in the sturgeon farming model, which has high economic value. Mr. Vi Van Dam, Nong Cut village, said: Sturgeon is popular in the market, especially in restaurants and hotels in Moc Chau National Tourist Area. Currently, the family has invested in a farm of more than 1,200 m², supplying the market with about 20 tons of commercial fish each year, with an average selling price of 200,000 VND/kg. Sturgeon farming has a very high economic value, but also requires high techniques and initial investment capital, from the process of selecting breeds, preparing water sources, food to disease prevention must be strictly implemented.

In addition, farmers in Doan Ket commune also built “dual benefit” models, such as commercial frog farming combined with fish farming. Frog cages are placed right on the surface of fish ponds, not only do not take up extra space, but also take advantage of frog droppings and leftover food as food sources for fish, helping to clean the water environment and limit diseases.

Thanks to proper care according to technical processes, the frogs have grown well. Up to now, the family is raising more than 10 frog cages, harvesting 4 tons of commercial frogs/year, earning over 300 million VND.
