(HBO) - In recent years, farmers in Ngo Luong commune, Tan Lac district, have focused on raising animals native to the land, hence the formation of products imbued with the local identity, serving the future growth of tourism.

Bui Van Inh's family in Bo Tram hamlet, Ngo Luong,
develops indigenous pig breeding, reaping positive economic outcomes.
Ngo Luong is a difficult mountainous commune lying 30 km
away from the district’s centre. It houses four hamlets with 351 households
grouping 1,650 people. The local rates of poor and near-poor households in the
locality now stood at 24.29% and nearly 29%, respectively. Despite its
difficulties, Ngo Luong is a land of potential and advantages with high forest
coverage, a fresh climate, and a natural landscape that still retains many wild
features.
Bui Van Thai, Vice Chairman of the Ngo Luong People's
Committee said the locals raise cattle and poultry. As for their pig herd,
there are currently over 1,200 heads, about 70% of which are native black pigs.
Raising indigenous black pigs is suitable for local conditions and enjoys
favorable prices and output despite falling prices in the market. Therefore,
many households involved have seen their incomes improve.
Currently, 200 local households are joining the farming of
the black pigs. Bui Van Hung in Bo Tram hamlet runs a herd of 100 pig heads
reared in a one-ha area. Hung said the locality houses grazing grounds and
abundant food sources, suitable for raising the black pigs. Moreover, the
animal’s output is quite stable, with its current price being about 120,000 VND
(5.12 USD) per kg.
In the 2023 – 2025 period, livestock development in Ngo
Luong is set to receive regular support from the sub-department of livestock
and veterinary medicine regarding vaccination work and technical training. The
assistance is expected to help control diseases and create products with strong
local identity, attracting tourists and accelerating the process of hunger
eradication and poverty alleviation./.
