Ninh Thanh Loi , a land that people used to associate with the image of dense reed fields; in the rainy season, the fields were flooded, in the dry season, the land was severely dry, and the land was cracked. However, after overcoming many hardships, today this land has put on a “new coat”. Rows of spacious houses, straight roads, busy traffic, and smooth circulation of agricultural products.

To have the appearance as today, it must be said that since the local government created conditions for people here to convert ineffective rice land to the model of rice - shrimp rotation, rice - shrimp - crab - fish combination. Since applying the model of "shrimp hugging rice", the life of farmers here has clearly improved, many households have overcome difficulties, become quite rich with an income of hundreds, even billions of dong each year.

Thanks to that, people have the conditions to build spacious houses, buy machinery and equipment to serve increasingly modern agricultural production. From there, contributing to the development of the local economy and society and changing the face of the countryside.

Mr. Huynh Tan Tai (Chom Cao hamlet, Ninh Thanh Loi commune) shared: “Since applying the rice-shrimp rotation model, the economic conditions of the people have developed much better than before. Since then, many policies and guidelines when implemented by the local government have been enthusiastically responded by the people, contributing to changing the appearance of the hamlet to become more spacious and modern like today”.

Practice has proven that rice-shrimp is a production model that has little negative impact on the surrounding environment, low risk, suitable for the ability of most farmers and brings quite high economic efficiency. When raising shrimp, the soil becomes more fertile, helping rice grow strongly, reducing the cost of fertilizers as well as pesticides.

In particular, after each shrimp crop, organic matter, microorganisms and excess food from the shrimp are very good sources of nutrition for rice plants. On the contrary, after the rice crop, the soil is improved, the environment is favorable so that shrimp grow quickly, with few risks and diseases.

“This hamlet used to be almost all thatched houses, tol houses, rarely had a house made of bricks, but now there are houses made of bricks, even villas. Through that, we can see that the economic life of Ninh Thanh Loi people today has really changed and developed remarkably,” said Mr. Pham Van Khanh (Nha Lau 1 hamlet, Ninh Thanh Loi commune) excitedly.

Thanks to the promotion of the strength of multi-cropping and multi-animal farming on the same production land area, the lives of Ninh Thanh Loi people are increasingly improved, the rate of poor households is gradually decreasing. Mr. Huynh Van Hoa, Secretary of the Party Committee of Ninh Thanh Loi commune, said: "In the coming time, the commune will focus on supporting people to develop strong economic models such as: rice - shrimp - crab - fish combination, weaving..., in which special attention is paid to applying scientific advances in production in a clean and safe direction, combining to find partners to solve the problem of input and output of agricultural products for people, helping people feel secure in production".

With the results achieved, we believe that with the will, determination and experience gained from hardships, it will be a source of motivation for the people of Ninh Thanh Loi to continue to strive and write beautiful stories and changes about the land of the "yawning dog field" of the past.
