The changes
After nearly a year of escaping poverty, the family economy of Mr. Vo Tin, Luong Mai village, Phong Chuong commune, Phong Dien district is increasingly stable. The livelihood model of raising breeding cows, supported by the State, has brought his family an income of more than 10 million VND. To develop a sustainable economy, in addition to the agricultural land area granted by the State, Mr. Tin boldly rented an additional acre of rice fields to grow rice; at the same time, he combined building a comprehensive poultry farming model with hundreds of chickens, ducks, geese, bringing regular income to the family.
With the support of the local government for 4 initial breeding pigs, plus preferential loans, Tran Minh and his wife, Tan An village, Loc Binh commune, Phu Loc district, determined to do business. Taking advantage of the work, Mr. Minh took advantage of by-products from rice and vegetables in agricultural production as animal feed. In addition to selling breeding pigs for working capital, Mr. Minh kept a few pigs to multiply the herd after each litter of pigs. At the same time, the couple used preferential loans to invest in forest planting and logging. Having found a suitable direction for economic development, Mr. Minh and his wife were excited and worked hard. On average, each year his family sold 1.5 tons of pork, plus income from exploiting acacia, cajuput and rice production, Mr. Minh's family officially escaped poverty.
A single mother, Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai, in Diem Truong 2 village, Vinh Hung commune, Phu Loc district, is not alone in her journey to escape poverty. Not only did the local government support her in removing her temporary house, but the commune women's association also provided her with a livelihood and created a means of doing business to have a stable income. With a solid house and a stable income, Ms. Mai proactively wrote an application to escape poverty.
