Thanks to that, he rose up to become rich legitimately, becoming a typical example in the movement of good farmers and businessmen in the locality.

Welcoming us right at the pepper garden full of fruit, Mr. Canh confided: "The family has more than 200 pepper trees that have produced stable harvests, earning more than 100 million VND each year. However, depending only on pepper plants, life is just enough to eat but cannot make you rich, and depends a lot on the weather and market prices.

With that in mind, he decided to research and learn more economic models to expand production scale. After a period of research and learning from models in neighboring localities, in 2019, Mr. Canh boldly borrowed 50 million VND from the Farmers' Support Fund, plus his family's accumulated capital to invest in building a comprehensive economic model. He chose to develop valuable crops such as coconut, dwarf banana, papaya, areca nut, combined with raising pigs for meat and beekeeping for honey.
