(HBO) - "Starting up my own business from 3,000 chickens, sometimes, I felt exhausted due to diseases, unstable prices, but with my determination, I have stayed well..." - Mr. Nguyen Dinh Lam, in the Village 3 / 2B, Thanh Lap Commune (Luong Son) shared this when taking us to visit the "silver billion" farm model of his family.


Mr. Nguyen Dinh Lam always maintained thousands of chickens / litter

 

He planned a 3.5 hectare farm for planting fruit trees, raising chickens, ducks, pigs, cows and fishponds.

In 2009, Mr. Lam started raising 3,000 chickens. With his careful and thoughtful care, together with the price of chickens were up again so within a year his family has collected the interest. With the additional capital, in 2011, Mr. Lam's family invested to expand 2 chicken farms with an area of ​​1,500 m2, each year raising 4 litters, each litter obtains 10,000 chickens. He built a system of pig breeding facilities with an area of ​​200 m2, to ensure the raising of 200 pigs / batch, 2 times a year. Then, he still upgraded and repaired the ponds of 1.3 hectares for raising fish, which made him each year collect 18 tons of commercial fish of all kinds. The garden is grown in a variety of fruit trees, mainly bananas. The fat and abundant banana trees, which cost less to care, each year also bring his family the income of over 100 million VND.

When having accumulated the capital, Mr. Lam invested in machinery to free the labor force. For example, with the task of feeding livestock and poultry every day before, it was necessary to transport about 60 packs of food from the warehouse to the feeders, but now, there is only one worker standing up for operating the machine to pour the food to the target feeders. With the help of machinery, in the past two years, Mr. Lam's family only has to hire 4 workers. With less expenses, Mr. Lam's family gets 2.5 - 3 billion VND / year from this VAC farming model, 1 to 1.8 billion VND after deducting all the expenses every year.

After 5 years of starting up his career with VAC model, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Lam has become a "billionaire." He was voted for "The Excellent Vietnamese Farmer in 2015" and the title "For the career of developing agriculture,rural and Vietnamese farmers".
