Mr. Dao's family started the farm in 2013 with an area of over 7,000 m2 in the converted area of Tang Ha village.
At first, he raised traditional fish such as grass carp, bighead carp, and silver carp. Although the situation was stable, due to difficulties in water resources in the transition area, high feed prices, and falling fish prices, he decided to combine raising laying ducks. The scale of the farm gradually increased according to market demand and the family's capital capacity. At its peak, his family raised up to 2,500 laying ducks. Currently, the number of ducks raised has decreased slightly due to the impact of storm No. 3.
Currently, Mr. Dao's family's aquaculture farm combined with duck breeding brings in about 550 million VND/year in profit, creating jobs for 6-7 workers with a good income.
To have a spacious farm with stable income like today, Mr. Dao and his wife have gone through many difficulties and hardships.
When he started farming, he rented an excavator to dig a pond, build walls, barns, and plant more trees to create shade. When he started raising livestock, he had no experience, so there were times when ducks died due to the H5N1 epidemic, causing hundreds of millions of dong in damage. Capital was also not much, so in addition to borrowing from banks and relatives, he and his wife followed the motto of "taking short-term to support long-term" by building barns and buying breeding animals.
To overcome his limited experience in livestock farming, Mr. Dao learned more knowledge through books and newspapers and visited models of similar farms.
In addition to his regular working hours, he takes advantage of the early morning and late afternoon to do farm work. His wife is always diligent and hard-working, helping her husband work with peace of mind.
As Chairman of the Gia Xuyen Farmers' Association, Mr. Dao always fulfills his duties well. Currently, the Farmers' Support Fund of Hai Duong City is lending 280 million VND to 7 Gia Xuyen farmers' association members. He regularly monitors the situation of households doing business for the right purpose, and urges them to pay back the principal and interest in full.
He and the Executive Committee of the Commune Farmers' Association also mobilized to build a Commune Farmers' Support Fund of 100 million VND. In 2024, the Gia Xuyen Commune Farmers' Association helped 1 member escape poverty.
Ms. Nguyen Hai Yen, President of the Farmers' Association of Hai Duong City, said that Mr. Dao is a young, enthusiastic and responsible President of the association in organizing and building a strong association, while actively participating in developing the family economy. He was commended by the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee for the period 2022-2024 for his good production and business.
