Coming to Lam Dong to do new economic activities since 1991-1992, Ms. Luong Kim Chi's family (Tay ethnic group) was one of the first families to reclaim land and establish a village in Tan Thanh commune. After more than 30 years with many difficulties and challenges, Ms. Chi's family and local people now have the second largest macadamia material area in Lam Ha district with a planting area of nearly 900 hectares.
Lam Ha District, Lam Dong Province, is a special locality. Even the name Lam Ha is a combination of two place names: Lam Dong and Hanoi.
This land gathers many migrants from Hanoi and the northern provinces to settle down and live here.
Lam Ha has a natural area of nearly 1,600km2, with about 29 ethnic groups living together. Therefore, Lam Ha is a locality with multicultural characteristics of ethnic groups.
This place is endowed by nature with fertile alluvial and basalt land, suitable for growing industrial crops and short-term crops. Together with the system of rivers and streams, Lam Ha has many beautiful and poetic landscapes. Therefore, in addition to agricultural development, Lam Ha has great potential for tourism development.
Lam Ha district has 2 towns and 14 communes. Of which, Tan Thanh commune has 13 ethnic groups, Tay, Nung, Dao, K'Ho people account for nearly 60% of the commune's population. Tan Thanh is the second largest commune in the district, with fertile land, temperate climate, and large forest area, favorable for agricultural and forestry development.
In this land, realizing the suitable natural conditions and high values of macadamia nuts, Ms. Luong Kim Chi established Tan Thanh Agricultural Service Cooperative, with members who are all Tay and Nung ethnic groups participating. The establishment of Tan Thanh Agricultural Service Cooperative, in addition to promoting local advantages, providing the market with quality macadamia products, also has an important meaning, which is to provide solutions and support for many ethnic minority families in the locality to get rich from a new tree with very high nutritional and economic value.
After many challenges, Ms. Chi and many other families in Tan Thanh commune still cherish the dream of building the Tan Thanh macadamia brand to help the people of the homeland stabilize output, develop the economy, and have a prosperous life as the first people who came to this land dreamed of.
