Japanese experts visit and laud farming model of Bui Bich Lien in Phu Thanh commune, Lac Thuy district.
She chose Phu Thanh to realise her idea. This place not only meets criteria for the construction of a clean farm, but also sits in a convenient location on Ho Chi Minh route. In 2013, Lien pooled all her money, including loans, to invest in farming. In 2014, she started her own business with a clean farm model named Thuy Thien Nhu.
Lien said documents on breeding and advanced Japanese effective microorganism (EM) technology specially attracted and persuaded her. It is a Japanese government-funded project in support of communities in over 100 countries. After contacting Japanese experts, she received their enthusiastic support, from guiding the selection of strains, food processing, to building farms.
On an area of over one ha at Thuy Thien Nhu farm, Lien allocated about 3,000 sq.m for building an organic fruits and vegetables zone with a variety of products, including leafy vegetables, eggplant, cucumber, and tomato. Nearly one ha is used for pig and poultry breeding. She developed a close-circuit farm model, adopted the Japanese EM technology in the process of organic agricultural farming. As a result, the farm completely controlled epidemic diseases, ensured that high quality organic agricultural products meet "Three No" criteria, including no epidemics, no use of plant protection medicine, no growth stimulus substance and other chemicals that are toxic to human health and surrounding environment.
After 5 years, she has her own brand and become successful in building the model "clean farm - green dining table." Consumers in the country’s two largest cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city trust high-quality and organic products of Hoa Binh origin, contributing to popularising farm produce and attracting investment to local agricultural production.
