Lac Son district in Hoa Binh province is renowned for its indigenous chicken breed, known for its fragrant meat and suitability for free-range farming. Bui Van Hue, a local farmer, has been honored for his profitable production model, which has aided in eradicating hunger and poverty, and creating jobs. The Chi Thien Chicken Breeding and Supply Cooperative, established in 2017, has seen significant success, producing over 600,000 indigenous chickens and 200 tons of broilers annually. The cooperative's profitability is attributed to the high demand for the quality meat and the continued support from the American Feed Company (AFC), which provides feed and technical assistance. The commune plans to replicate this model and expand it, with government funding allocated for building community groups in 2024.
