Provincial Farmers' Association gives breeding cows to households implementing the value chain cattle farming model

On October 10, implementing the National Target Program on Socio-Economic Development for Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas in 2023, the Provincial Farmers' Association organized a ceremony to present breeding cows to households participating in building a value chain cattle farming model in Van Phuong commune, Nho Quan district.

In 2023, the Provincial Farmers' Association was assigned by the Provincial Steering Committee of the National Target Program on New Rural Construction to be in charge of Van Phuong commune, Nho Quan district in the work of building and completing advanced new rural standards in 2023.

With the assigned responsibilities, the Provincial Farmers' Association has regularly contacted, discussed, and organized many activities to help farmers in Van Phuong commune in economic development, increasing income; propagating and supporting the construction of economic development models, environmental protection models in residential areas, contributing to improving the criteria in building advanced new rural areas; including activities to support farmers in Van Phuong commune in building a model of raising cows according to the value chain.

The Provincial Farmers' Association coordinated with Van Phuong Commune to survey and select 14 households in 5 villages to ensure the right subjects to build the model. These are farmer members of ethnic minorities, poor and near-poor households who have the need and voluntarily submitted applications to participate in the model.

The model of raising cows according to the value chain in Van Phuong commune has a scale of 28 cows, of which the State supports 14 breeding cows and households provide 14 cows in return. The goal of the model is to exploit the potential and advantages of the locality; innovate, promote economic development, ensure social security; reduce poverty quickly and sustainably.

The implementation of the Cattle Raising Model according to the value chain in Van Phuong commune helps cattle raising households to connect, exchange, and grasp breeding techniques to maintain and develop cattle herds, increase income for local people, and contribute to the development of local cattle herds. Currently, the total herd of households is over 50. It is expected that the number of supported breeding cows after 1 year of implementing the model will increase by at least 30% compared to the number of supported cows.

In order for the model to be effective, the leaders of the Provincial Farmers' Association requested that after receiving the cows, the families should care for and raise them according to the technical process they have been trained in, properly implement their commitments, strengthen their connections, and exchange experiences in raising animals for mutual development. They requested that local leaders, the Commune Farmers' Association, and the Provincial Farmers' Association continue to pay attention to, monitor and help households participating in the model achieve high results.

After handing over breeding cows to households, delegates visited Mr. Dinh Xuan Dinh's household (Bong Lai village), which was selected by the Provincial Farmers' Association to participate in the model of raising cows according to the value chain and managing the collection and treatment of waste and rural wastewater.
