Enhance value, create new look
Coming to the Con Tien hilly area today, we felt new hopes from the effective exploitation of the hilly area's economy. "With the attention and support of the Party, the State and Con Tien commune, I have determined to develop a comprehensive agricultural model. On an area of 4 hectares, I grow more than 200 pepper trees, 600 orange trees, 2,000 guava trees, 1,000 custard-apple trees, 350 rambutan trees and many other fruit trees; raise fish in natural lakes.
After 4 years of implementing this model, initially there were some types of fruit trees that brought in an income of 300-400 million VND/year. I will replicate this model for people to follow to effectively exploit the land potential, to improve the hilly area of my hometown", Mr. Nguyen Tien Dung, in An Nha village shared.
In Con Tien commune, there are currently many clean agricultural and organic agricultural models linked with businesses, such as: Pepper, ginseng, green-skinned grapefruit, and turmeric starch.
