Cat Tien 2 Commune is a remote area of Lam Dong province, people's lives are still difficult, mainly relying on traditional agricultural production. In 2022, Cat Tien district (old) implemented the Dairy Cow Development Project, Mr. Tran Huy Rin boldly registered to participate.

Mr. Rin is one of the first four households to import dairy cows to raise from the end of 2022. To prepare for the new step, he did not hesitate to travel far, to find advanced farming models in Don Duong district (old), Cu Chi ( Ho Chi Minh City) and TH farm in Nghe An to learn. At the same time, he actively participated in training courses, learned about techniques, and accessed support capital from policy banks and farmer support funds.

With the determination to start a business, he initially invested nearly 2.1 billion VND to build a 400m² barn, plant 2 hectares of grass, buy machinery and stockpile food. Of that, 700 million VND was his own capital, the rest was preferential loans and external credit. That boldness was the beginning of a challenging journey of starting a business.

On December 20, 2022, Mr. Rin imported 30 dairy cows from TH Nghe An farm. With careful care, disease prevention and compliance with technical procedures, the herd of cows grew quickly and healthily. After nearly a year, the total herd increased to 58 cows, of which 25 were milk cows.

Experts highly appreciate the thorough investment in implementing the dairy cow farming model of Mr. Tran Huy Rin.

On average, each cow gives about 25 liters of milk per day, bringing in a stable income. After deducting expenses, his family earns a profit of 80-90 million VND per month - an impressive figure for a farming household in a remote area.

Being a pioneer is always difficult, but thanks to the support of the district leaders and my own efforts, I believe that dairy farming will become a sustainable direction for local youth and farmers.
