The Farmers Support Program for the period 2023 - 2025 is jointly organized by Tuoi Tre Newspaper, GreenFeed Vietnam Joint Stock Company, Provincial Farmers' Association and Provincial Youth Union.
In 2023, the program supported interest-free loans for 40 farming households in difficult circumstances in Vinh Thai and Vinh Tu communes, Vinh Linh district, with a total amount of VND 20 million for 2 years and free animal feed worth VND 3 million/household.
The total support budget of the program is 920 million VND. These are households with difficult circumstances, determined to escape poverty sustainably, and have children who overcome difficulties to study well. At the same time, 40 scholarships worth 1 million VND each were awarded to students with good academic performance and are children of farmers participating in the program.
After providing support, to effectively promote the loan capital, the Capital Management Board has closely coordinated with the staff of GreenFeed Vietnam Joint Stock Company in Quang Tri to implement training activities, consulting on investment in livestock production suitable to the conditions of the household and reducing risks in using capital.
Accordingly, all 40/40 households used the loan for the right purpose and registered needs. The initial capital was mainly invested in buying breeding animals, repairing barns and investing in buying more animal feed and veterinary medicine to prevent diseases for livestock.
As a result, after 1 year of deploying capital, chicken and pig farming households have produced the 3rd batch, beef cattle farming households have invested in the 2nd batch and breeding cows have obtained 1 batch. Specifically, for chicken farming households, with a scale of 100 - 200 chickens/batch, after 3 - 4 months of raising, households earn a profit of 2 - 4 million VND/batch; for pig farming, with a scale of 3 - 5 pigs, after 4 months of raising, they earn a profit of 3 - 5 million VND/household; for buffalo and cow farming, the total herd has increased from 21 to 29 pigs, with a raising time of 10 - 12 months, each beef cow earns an average profit of 6 - 10 million VND.
According to the assessment, after 1 year of implementation, the effectiveness and profound humanity of the "Supporting Farmers" Program has been shown. Farmers have accumulated experience in raising livestock, supported and shared with each other; encouraged to promote stable and more developed household economy than before. From the savings after each batch of raising, households have funds to send their children to school, reducing the burden of tuition, books and clothes for their children in the new school year.
