These are the leading farmers who not only promote the development of the local farmers' movement to compete in good production and business, but also spread the way to get rich to other farmers.
In Bung Binh 1 hamlet, Hoa Tan commune, there is a farmer who became a billionaire thanks to his hard work and successful conversion of production model. That is Mr. Le Trung Tinh.
Mr. Le Trung Tinh and his wife reviewed the awards given by various levels of government, recognizing their achievements.
Mr. Tinh recalled: “At the time of switching from rice farming to shrimp farming, the village of Hoa Tan commune was as happy as if it was a festival. Every household and every person renovated the land to prepare for shrimp farming. My family also renovated 5 hectares of ineffective rice land to raise shrimp extensively. On average, the money from selling 1 kg of shrimp at that time could buy 10 bushels of rice. The first shrimp harvest was successful, every day I harvested, I took out a little to buy gold for protection. After a few years of saving, I was able to build a house worth nearly 40 taels of gold.”
As a farmer who dares to think, dares to do, is always creative, and applies new things to production, in 2011, Mr. Tinh boldly converted half of his extensive shrimp farming area to industrial shrimp farming and continued to be successful. A few years later, he decided to switch to super-intensive shrimp farming (STC).
To have successful shrimp farming, Mr. Le Trung Tinh regularly observes and handles the pond properly.
Complying with farming techniques, ensuring environmental hygiene, along with accumulated experience, most farming crops are profitable, in 4 shrimp farming crops in 2023 alone, Mr. Tinh earned a profit of more than 1 billion VND.
Mr. Nguyen Ly Kha, Chairman of the Farmers' Association of Hoa Tan Commune, highly appreciated the economic achievements from the hard work and contributions of Mr. Le Trung Tinh to the locality in general and the Commune Billionaire Farmers' Club in particular.
A few years ago, Mr. Le Van Ut's extensive shrimp farming land of more than 3.5 hectares in Ganh Hao 1 hamlet did not generate high income. After Mr. Tinh and some members of the club enthusiastically guided him on super-intensive shrimp farming techniques, Mr. Ut boldly converted 1 hectare to STC shrimp farming and earned more than 1 billion VND in profit each year. Mr. Ut is currently a member of the Billionaire Farmers Club of Hoa Tan commune.
Ca Mau City currently has 2 Billionaire Farmer Clubs in Tan Thanh and Hoa Tan communes, with a total of 34 members. The members are typical farmers who have achieved excellent results from the city level and above, with a revenue of 1 billion VND/year or more, and farmers who have achieved a revenue of less than 1 billion VND/year but have a positive impact on the club's activities.
The economic models of farmer billionaires have become typical economic models, contributing to encouraging and motivating cadres, members and farmers of Ca Mau City to compete in good production and business, and are an important factor contributing positively to the socio-economic development goals of the locality. "Although the club was established not long ago, the influence and contribution of these members to the local economic development is not small," said Mr. Nguyen Lung Lang, Chairman of the City Farmers' Association./.
