An old lady U80 makes billions of dollars every year thanks to the unique, "unique" bamboo in Dak Nong?

Mrs. Nguyen Thi Sang, 73 years old, in Dak Som commune, Dak Glong district, Dak Nong province, has surprised many people with a unique 4-season bamboo planting model, earning billions of VND in profits per year.

Initially, she was just an ordinary farmer, living mainly by picking bamboo shoots for sale. However, she found that depending on the weather made her income precarious.

Undeterred, after many years of research, Ms. Sang imported 4-season bamboo varieties from abroad to plant. Despite the initial difficulties, she persisted in improving bamboo cultivation techniques, and after 5 months, her family began to harvest fresh bamboo shoots.

Her bamboo planting model has now expanded to 40 hectares, with more than 21 hectares granted planting area codes from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Dak Nong. Each year, her family harvests about 250 tons of bamboo shoots, the income after deducting expenses is up to 2 billion VND.

Not only economically successful, this 73-year-old woman also creates jobs for more than 10 local workers, with a stable salary of 7.5 - 9 million VND/month. From a poor farmer who moved to Dak Som, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Sang, 73 years old, has overcome many difficulties to succeed with the 4-season bamboo planting model, helping her family earn billions of VND per year.

Starting from planting 1,000 bamboo stumps in 4 seasons on an area of 1 hectare, but due to inexperience, only 200 trees survived. However, after many failures, she found the right care technique, helping the 4-season bamboo shoot thrive. With a price of 10,000 VND/kg, her bamboo shoots are always popular in the market thanks to their natural crispiness and sweetness.

Ms. Sang currently owns more than 40,000 bamboo trees in 4 seasons, with an area of 40 hectares, and her model has become "unique" in Dak Nong. Not only bringing income to her family, she also inspires and supports bamboo planting techniques for many other farmers in and out of the country.

The secret to the success of Mrs. Nguyen Thi Sang lies in persevering with the 4-season bamboo planting model. After 7 years of exploration, she has expanded the bamboo planting area up to 40 hectares, helping her family earn more than 250 tons of bamboo shoots per year. Since then, she has earned a profit of about 2 billion VND, and at the same time created stable jobs for many local workers.

In particular, Ms. Sang not only grows bamboo to make a profit but also spreads this project to all provinces and cities, helping other farmers develop economically.

Thanks to perseverance, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Sang has turned bamboo into a "gold mine" for her family. Every year, her family earns billions of VND from planting and processing bamboo shoots in 4 seasons. With an area of 40 hectares of bamboo, she not only creates a stable income but also contributes to greening bare land and barren hills. Her bamboo shoot products are not only sold domestically but also exported to many countries such as Australia and Japan.

Not only Ms. Sang, but also a few typical individuals have also become successful thanks to their investment in bamboo planting. Originally a farmer, Mr. Nguyen Van Thiem boldly invested in cashew nut processing technology. He also incubates Bat Do bamboo varieties on barren land, bringing high economic efficiency.

Taking advantage of some uncultivated land, Mr. Thiem also boldly planted Bat Do bamboo to get bamboo shoots. Realizing that the Bat Do bamboo planting model is effective, many people in Ia Chia border commune also ask for seeds to plant in their gardens.

Mr. Thiem recalled that in 2018, he returned to his hometown of Phu Tho and noticed that the Bat Do bamboo planting model brought high economic efficiency. This bamboo variety has a high yield of bamboo shoots and can sell the stems to make handicrafts and sell seeds. Therefore, he bought seeds for trial planting on the rocky land of Ia Chia commune.

After more than a year, Bat Do bamboo began to produce the first bamboo shoots. Realizing that bamboo shoots have a crispy, naturally sweet taste, and good consumption potential, Mr. Thien continues to expand the area to build a raw material area. He also registered brands and packaging to bring many quality products to the market.

Currently, he plants about 1,000 bamboo stumps, of which 700 are being harvested. Last year, Mr. Thiem collected tons of bamboo shoots to serve the domestic and foreign markets. After deducting expenses, Mr. Thiem earns a profit of more than 250 million VND/year.

Mr. Thiem confided: "Bat Do bamboo shoots are big, the yield is many times higher than normal bamboo shoots. Each bamboo shoot weighs 3-8kg, the skin is thin, the flesh is white, thick, the core is small, and the meat percentage is over 85%."

Currently, fresh bamboo shoots are priced at 10-15 thousand VND/kg, dried bamboo shoots are priced at 220-250 thousand VND/kg. Last year, he also sold a lot of seeds to people in the village to replicate the model.

Mr. Phan Dinh Tham - Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Ia Grai district said: "The district owns many large raw material areas such as coffee, pepper, cashew, fruit trees. In order to increase the value of products, many farmers boldly build cooperatives and companies to deeply process local agricultural products. Nguyen Thiem's household is also a typical case, with a model of deep processing of cashew nuts, planting Bat Do bamboo shoots. Realizing the high value, many people have linked and replicated the model."
