According to the leader of the Farmers' Association of Son Binh Commune, the unit has coordinated with relevant agencies to organize many propaganda campaigns, vocational training, knowledge dissemination, and improve farmers' qualifications in applying science and technology to production, creating favorable conditions for farming households to produce and do business. In particular, it has guided the transition from ineffective crops to crops with high economic value.

Farmer Dao Van Thuc (Son Binh commune, Khanh Son district, Khanh Hoa) said that this year his family harvested nearly 4 hectares of durian and harvested over 50 tons, with a market price of 80,000 VND/kg, revenue reaching 4 billion VND, after deducting expenses, the profit was about 3 billion VND.

Mr. Thuc added that last year, with the above area, his family harvested 50 tons, but only sold for 60,000 VND/kg, with revenue of 2.8 billion VND, after deducting expenses, the profit was 2 billion VND.

In addition to growing durian, his family also raises swiftlets to increase their income. With an area of ​​over 300 square meters, after careful research and investment, last year the birdhouse generated an income of over 150 million VND and is considered a promising model in the locality.

Mr. Thuc also regularly participates in movements launched by the association and shares durian tree care techniques with farmers.

Farmer member Cao Dam (70 years old, Son Binh commune, Khanh Son) is considered a typical example in the movement of good production and business, solidarity to help each other get rich and study and follow Uncle Ho's ideology.

The weakening model of Son Binh commune is currently considered promising.

Mr. Cao Dam said, if you want to teach your children or guide farmers to develop the economy, you must first be a role model and have prestige so that others can see and follow.

Previously, his family grew coffee, but it was not effective, so the family switched to growing durian. With an area of ​​nearly 3 hectares, he earned 1.2 billion VND, after deducting expenses, he made a profit of nearly 800 million VND.

This model has helped stabilize the family economy. Seeing the effectiveness of his durian growing model, many Raglai households have followed him to learn his economic experience.
