Good earning by raising specialities

A raiser named Dinh Thi Kieu Hoa, living in Hamlet 3, Dien Phu Commune, Dien Khanh District, Khanh Hoa Province) has earned billions of VND by raising specialities like lizards, Dong Tao chickens and Indonesian chickens.

Coming back to Dien Phu Commune one day, we were very surprised at big house replacing the old one of Hoa. Her farm for breeding has been renewed. Previously, her family’s life had been very hard since her husband died and she raised her two children only by selling rice noodles at a rural market. Since 2010, her older son has started raising lizards. Up to now, her family has raised up to 40,000 – 50,000 lizards, which earns them about VND100 million a month.

Her family is also raising Dong Tao chicken. Their flock of Dong Tao chickens totals 100. Dong Tao chickens sell well before the lunar new year festival. A 8-month-old cock costs VND4 – 5 million; a 1-month-old chicken costs VND300,000. Raising Dong Tao chickens for 4 years has earned her VND1 billion.

In several recent months, her family has started Indonesian chickens. Indonesian chickens are very expensive. She paid more than VND100 million to buy 4 hens and 2 cocks as breeders. She had intended to develop a bigger flock of Indonesian chickens, but their eggs sell so well. With the price of VND200,000/egg, 40 – 50 eggs have been sold for one month. This kind of chicken is tasty, nutritious, and especially good for pregnant women, ill people and old people.

Hoa shared that the success is owning to not only her family’s hard work but the marketing for products as well. Websites like ranmoi.com, gadongtao.net, etc. have popularized their products to consumers.

Chairman of Dien Phu People’s Committee Cao Tanh appreciated that Dinh Thi Kieu Hoa is an active and enterprising farmer. She has been good farmers at Central level.
