(Dan Tri) - Realizing that the high-tech agricultural model can generate stable revenue, Mr. Cao Ba Quat decided to borrow capital to start a business and achieved unexpected results.
Mr. Cao Ba Quat (42 years old) was born and raised in Cam Xuyen district, Ha Tinh province. In 2004, with a bachelor's degree in Soil Science from an agricultural university, Mr. Quat and his friends went to Da Lat city, Lam Dong province to find work.
"When I first came to Da Lat, I applied to work for a company specializing in vegetable and flower production. Later, I quit my job and rented land with a friend to grow vegetables, tubers, and fruits," Quat shared.

In 2013, Mr. Cao Ba Quat decided to borrow capital to rent 0.6 hectares of land in Da Lat city, to implement a high-tech agricultural production model.
With about 1 billion VND, Mr. Quat invested in renovating the garden, building a greenhouse system (iron frame structure, nylon roof), installing automatic watering machines to grow tomatoes, cucumbers and other leafy and root vegetables.

Mr. Cao Ba Quat said that by 2023, due to the expiration of the land lease contract, his family will be forced to return the garden and find a new location.
"In 2023, a household rented me a garden in Ward 10, Da Lat City with a total area of 1 hectare. Here, I invested in renovation and construction to continue with the high-tech agricultural journey," said Mr. Quat.
Currently, on an area of 1 hectare, Mr. Quat's family divides plots to grow tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, and leafy vegetables. All crops here are produced according to VietGAP standards (Vietnam Good Agricultural Practices) and partners have signed contracts to purchase the products.

On average, each month Mr. Cao Ba Quat's family supplies partners with 5-7 tons of various agricultural products. Regarding revenue, the 42-year-old garden owner said that after deducting all expenses, each year his family earns a net profit of more than half a billion VND.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Anh, Vice President of the Farmers' Association of Da Lat city, said that the high-tech agricultural production model that Mr. Cao Ba Quat's family is implementing is highly economically effective and the locality encourages its development.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Anh, the vegetable production process of Mr. Cao Ba Quat's family is carried out in a greenhouse, so the plants are less susceptible to pests and diseases, and less affected by the weather. In particular, producers can proactively arrange the crop season and crop structure to meet market demand.
It is known that the high-tech agricultural production model of Mr. Cao Ba Quat's family creates jobs for 7 unskilled workers with a salary of 6.5-9 million VND/person/month.
