Ms. Vi Thi Hai's family is one of many households in Hoi 1 village, Chau Hoi commune, Quy Chau district, Nghe An that have escaped poverty from the National Target Program on Socio -Economic Development in Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas for the 2021-2025 period.
Previously, her family of 8 had many difficulties, mainly relying on farming, so for many years they were poor.
Recognizing the difficult circumstances of Ms. Hai's family, Chau Hoi commune has included them in the list of those receiving support from the National Target Program. Her family was supported with 4 local black pigs. Thanks to careful care, adequate feeding of vegetables, bran and full vaccination, the pigs have grown well.

“In 2023, my family was supported with 4 local black pigs to raise to develop the economy and gradually eliminate poverty. In early 2024, 2 sows gave birth to 12 piglets, I sold 10 piglets to households in the village, earning nearly 10 million VND. Currently, the two pigs continue to reproduce, providing a stable income,” Ms. Hai shared.
In addition, Hai and her husband boldly borrowed 40 million VND from the bank to invest in breeding cows. With that money, she bought 4 breeding cows to raise, earning more income. Since then, the herd of cows has produced 2-3 more cows each year, and every year her family sells a cow to make ends meet.
Mr. Lang Van Cuong, Vice Chairman of Chau Hoi Commune People's Committee, said that the calf and pig raising project under the National Target Program for Socio-Economic Development in Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Areas has provided 45 poor households with one breeding cow, a local breed. 21 poor and near-poor households were each provided with four local black pigs.
“After providing livestock breeds, the commune assigned professional staff and village staff to regularly remind households to take care of them. Most households, after being provided with cows and pigs, built barns and took good care of them. Many households had a source of income after the sows were given breeding rights,” said Mr. Cuong.

Quy Chau is a mountainous district in the northwest of Nghe An province, with ethnic minorities accounting for about 80% of the population. As one of the four poor districts of Nghe An province, people's lives here still face many difficulties, the rate of poor and near-poor households is still high. In 2024, taking advantage of and effectively promoting capital sources from the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction, the district has integrated with other local poverty reduction programs, striving to reduce the rate of poor households by 4-5%.
According to the leader of the People's Committee of Quy Chau district, from the capital of the National Target Program on sustainable poverty reduction in ethnic minority and mountainous areas and livelihood diversification, developing poverty reduction models, for more than two years, the district has provided 473 local calves to 473 households and 604 local black pigs to 151 households (each household was provided with 4 pigs), along with over 10 tons of bran.
In addition to the State budget of nearly 10 billion VND to buy calves, pigs, and bran, households also contributed more than 1.3 billion VND to build barns. With the above calves and pigs, a number of poor and near-poor households in the communes of Chau Thuan, Chau Binh, Chau Thang, Chau Hanh, Chau Hoi, etc. have been provided with funds to raise them, contributing to increasing people's income and gradually escaping poverty.
