Having just sold the second crop of field frogs, Mr. Hoai is preparing to raise the next batch of frogs. After two rounds of raising and selling frogs for meat, his model has become known to many people, and there are not enough frogs to sell. The people of Thanh Boi village jokingly call him Hoai the frog…
Last summer, during a trip back to his village, the young man from Tien recalled his childhood days of fishing and catching frogs. Seeing the rice fields with storks flying straight, Mr. Hoai immediately came up with the idea of raising frogs in his field.
“In early July 2024, I started implementing my initiative, releasing the first batch of 3,000 frogs on an area of 500 square meters of rice fields. Before that, I had experience raising commercial frogs in ponds when I was working at Quang Nam Aquatic Breeding Joint Stock Company. However, the quality of the frogs was not high, the meat was soft and not delicious. Frogs released in the fields like this have firm meat, similar to the meat of natural field frogs,” said Mr. Hoai.
According to Mr. Hoai, before releasing the frogs, he chose a rice field in front of his house with a sufficient water source and good drainage. He spread a high net to surround the frogs in a field to prevent them from escaping. The 9x guy took advantage of the food source for the frogs from the food and agricultural by-products at home.
After more than a month of raising frogs, Mr. Hoai came up with the idea of using lights to attract plankton and insects that gather at night. This is an abundant source of food for frogs, helping them grow quickly and have firmer meat. At the same time, it destroys a large number of insects that damage rice and crops. The circulation of organic waste released by frogs helps his rice plants grow well, saving on fertilizer and chemical costs, and ensuring environmental hygiene.
Buying breeds from Quang Nam Aquatic Breeding Joint Stock Company, after 4 months of raising 3,000 frogs, he earned more than 50 million VND. Selling at 70,000 VND/kg (1 kg is equivalent to 4 adult frogs), Mr. Hoai's frogs are popular with many people, who bought them all from the first trial.

With high efficiency, Mr. Hoai kept the frog breed, expanded the model, and released 5,000 frogs in the second batch at the end of October 2024. And as expected, many people inside and outside Tien Chau commune came to the field to buy all the frogs, earning him nearly 90 million VND.
Vo Van Hoai sold the big frog for meat, and released the small one he caught to continue raising. Seeing the effectiveness of this frog farming model in the fields, many households in the area have come to the young man to learn from his experience.
