(HBO) – When arriving in Luc 3 village, Yen Nghiep commune, Lac Son district of Bac Giang province and asking about Bui Van Vi, you can get the answer from anyone with admiration. Not only being a dynamic secretary of the local chapter of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCM CYU), he is also a role model for young people in doing business, reaping success in his hometown.

After spending time researching and learning from effective household economic models, in 2010, with the support of the local HCM CYU chapter, he borrowed money to build a farm growing wood trees, sugar cane and cassava combining with raising fish and pigs.

 Bui Van Vi said he met many difficulties at the start, due to a lack of experience and technique, and limited market. However, he was undaunted and continued to learn by joining training courses on new scientific and technological advances, and participating in programmes organized by the HCM CYU to visit effective economic models.

 At present, his farm has expanded to more than 3 hectares of fish pond, 7 hectares of ironwood forest, 2 hectares of cassava, more than 1 hectare of purple sugarcane and a pig breeding farm. According to Vi, his farm creates jobs for 10 young people in the village with an income of 2.5 to 3 million VND per person per month. Subtracting the cost, each year, he earns from 300 to 400 million VND.


At the end of 2017, Bui Van Vi from Yen Nghiep commune of Lac Son (first, left) expanded the scale of the farm by growing native chickens, increasing income for his family.


In order to persuade local youngsters to settle down in the home village, over the past years, the provincial
HCM CYU chapter has implemented many activities, focusing on providing vocational guidance and training as well as job introduction, thus helping young people to rise out of poverty and improve the living conditions for their families, contributing to local economic development. In addition, being aware that the biggest difficulty for young people when starting a business is capital, during 2012- 2017, the HCM CYU chapters at all levels in the province cooperated with the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies to help young households access preferential loans.

Pham Thi Ngoc Anh, deputy head of the Committee for Youth Solidarity and Assembling said that currently, HCM CYU chapters in the province have helped 24,000 young families access loans worth nearly 562 billion VND through 667 credit groups. The provincial HCM CYU chapter also lent over 1.1 billion VND from the HCM CYU Central Committee’s job creation fund to 32 business projects of local young people./.
