In Khanh Son district, there are currently many farming households getting rich from durian trees.

Coming to Khanh Son today, it is not difficult to see vast durian gardens along with many billion-dollar houses. Many of them belong to young ethnic minority millionaires.

We came to the extremely disadvantaged village of Ko Roa, Son Lam commune and were surprised by the impressive property of the family of Mr. Cao Thanh Hai (born in 1989) - a millionaire farmer of the Raglay ethnic group.

Born and raised in a poor family in Son Lam commune, with the will to get rich through agriculture in his hometown, Mr. Hai has constantly researched, learned, studied and applied organic durian growing methods to develop the economy. Mr. Hai has taken advantage of every opportunity to learn, from training courses to coaching sessions from leading experts in the industry.

Mr. Cao Thanh Hai applies the organic durian growing model using biological methods.

Mr. Hai said: My family has 3 hectares of durian. So far, more than 300 trees have been harvested. In the last crop, my family earned more than 2 billion VND; after deducting expenses, the profit was nearly 1.5 billion VND. Thanks to 2 durian crops, my family's life has become more prosperous than before, and we have been able to build a spacious and comfortable house. In the coming time, I will continue to invest in developing organic durian trees on the entire 3 hectares to increase the selling price, aiming for export.

According to Mr. Hai, if last year with an area of ​​about 3 hectares, the family harvested only about 10 tons, this year alone the family was able to harvest nearly 20 tons. Notably, this year the family's garden produced about 70% of fruit. It is expected that next year, his family will produce 100% of the durian trees.

Saying goodbye to Mr. Hai, we returned to Son Trung commune to visit the fruit tree growing and livestock raising model of Ms. Mau Thi Hiem's ​​family (born in 1990) in Ta Nia village. Ms. Hiem said: My family has 1 hectare of durian that is being harvested, and the last crop brought in nearly 400 million VND. In addition to growing durian, my husband and I also dig ponds to raise carp and silver carp; raise black pigs... earning an additional 100 million VND each year.

Mr. Vu Van Vinh's durian garden brings in hundreds of millions of dong in revenue each year.

Not far from Ms. Hiem's ​​house is the house of Ms. Tro Thi Hop (born in 1991) in Chi Chay village, a famous businesswoman in Son Trung commune. Talking to us, Ms. Hop recalled: In 2009, I got married and lived with my parents. At first, my family was often in need, I had to save every penny and borrow 8 million VND from the district's Social Policy Bank, and borrow 20 million VND from relatives to start a business. I invested in building barns and buying 10 piglets.

“A few years ago, seeing many people in the commune growing durian effectively, I boldly converted from mixed gardens to growing durian, then continued to develop livestock, grocery business and traditional rice wine making. Each year, my family has an income of more than 600 million VND,” Ms. Hiem shared more.

In Ba Cum Bac commune, Mr. Vu Van Vinh is also considered a typical young millionaire farmer in the locality. Mr. Vinh said: This year, my garden has many trees bearing fruit for the first time, some trees yield nearly a quintal of fruit. Large trees have a revenue of 15 - 20 million VND/tree. "But to achieve that result is not easy. Durian trees are really difficult to care for, planting trees is easy, but making them bear fruit, with sweet and fragrant fruit is a process of monitoring and drawing experience from my garden", Mr. Vinh shared.

Durian gardens laden with fruit on Khanh Son land today.

Currently, in Khanh Son district, there are many ethnic minority households that are good at production and business, with incomes ranging from hundreds of millions to several billion VND per year. Talking to them, we feel a change in their thinking, they do not have the mentality of waiting and relying on the support policies of the State but are determined to overcome themselves, work hard to get rich in their homeland.

Not only enriching themselves, these millionaires are also the driving force behind poverty reduction in their localities. They are shining examples for the community to learn from, follow, and improve their lives. They have also cared for and supported other poor households with business experience, techniques for caring for crops and livestock, and even provided capital and jobs for other households to do business to escape poverty.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Dong, Vice Chairman of Khanh Son District People's Committee affirmed: To help Khanh Son escape from poverty by the end of 2024, a large part is thanks to the will to rise up of the people themselves and good production and business households. They are the driving force, arousing the will to rise up of the whole community, helping many ethnic minority households overcome the mentality of waiting and relying on the support of the State, rise up to escape poverty and get rich.
