Recently, Farmer Union at several levels in Sa Pa district has deeply promoted the campaign to become good producers and businessmen and gained some certain achievements. Many households know how to develop their economic life to be able to escape from poorness and become rich. Chau A Sinh and his wife Sung Thi Di are typical examples of this campaign.

Following officials in Farmer Union of Sa Pa district and Nam Cang commune, we arrived at the house of Chau A Sinh and Sung Thi Di in Nam Than hamlet, Nam Cang commune, Sa Pa district. Hardly could anyone know that 7 years ago this family was extremely poor if looking at their current nice house. They married when both werw penniless, working hard but could not get out of poorness.

Sinh said that thanks to the encouragement and support of Nam Cang Farmer Union and their willingness to escape from poverty and become rich, he and his wife dared to borrow 20 million dong and invested in raising pigs, chickens and ducks, farming and growing four hectare of cardamom. Gradually, his family can make end meets. While waiting to harvest cardamom, they worked hard on the fields and raise cattle and poultry and save to partially pay the debt. Since 2011, their efforts together with the help from local authority have brought them from 50 to 100 million dong each year from cardamom. They could pay the debt and in 2012 they bought a field to grow rice, harvesting from 1.5 to 2 tons of rice. Besides, they started to build a farming system and raise some kinds of poultry.  Up to now, they have two buffalos, over 100 chickens and ducks, and sell from 5 to 7 quintal of pig each year. This economic model earns his family nearly 200 million per year, helps them escape from poverty to become rich and have a stable life.

Vu A Trung, the president of Nam Cang Farmer Union said that besides promoting the campaign to become good producers and businessmen, they contribute to the development of a new countryside life by meaningful actions such as planting trees, building a 5 kilometer road in Nam Than hamlet, rotate the production structure. What Chau A Sinh and Sung Thi Di have got are prime examples for the spirit and energy of farmers in Nam Cang commune. They dare to escape from poverty and build a better life as well as develop the local area.
