Vietnamese agricultural products help Quang Linh's team make a fortune, grown in Angola, price increases 5 times

Working hard to cultivate, the African team is turning Angola's rocky soil into "gold" every day. Many specialty crops from Vietnam have been brought over to be grown, from squash, cassava, gac, to jicama and cucumber, helping to bring in large sums of money.

On his Youtube channel with more than 588 thousand subscribers, Cong Giap, a member of Quang Linh's team, shared a video with the farm workers visiting the sticky corn garden.

It is known that the corn garden was planted by the African team for the dry season. According to the initial plan, the harvested corn would be distributed to the people. However, when posting information on the Vietnamese Community Group in Lubangu (Angola), many people came to order. The total amount of corn ordered was up to 165 ears.

According to Cong Giap, grilled corn in Africa is usually sold for 100 Kz/ear (nearly 3 thousand VND/ear). Meanwhile, Vietnamese people buy it for 5 times more, 500 Kz/ear (nearly 14 thousand VND/ear).

According to the explanation, corn in Angola after harvest can only be ground into flour. Besides, the locals only eat corn to be full and do not care whether it is sweet corn or sticky corn, so the price is usually low, selling it to Vietnamese people will be more expensive. The village chief and the people were extremely surprised because they did not think this corn variety would be sold at such a high price, 1 corn costs 500 Kz and no one here buys it.

Previously, another member of the African team, Lindo, also brought boiled corn to the market to sell. The item became extremely hot and sold out within minutes. After harvesting, the African team harvested a total of 5 trays of corn, 3 trays to sell and 2 trays to share with people on the farm to enjoy. The total amount of money sold was 82,500 Kz (more than 2.2 million VND). All will be used to buy fertilizer for the next planting season.

Successfully growing corn helps improve the lives of the villagers. Cong Giap expressed: "I try a little harder so that the villagers can have a little more food."



Previously, Cong Giap also attracted attention when he closed the deal for a plot of land worth more than 16 thousand USD at the district market to serve the local people's business. Because if only farming is enough to eat, it is difficult to get rich, there must be accompanying business to develop the future. This is also the passion of Cong Giap in particular and the whole African team in general when wanting to help African people in the most practical way.

"All agricultural products here will be concentrated here, from the capital and purchased directly from traders, without the need for intermediaries. Each time through an intermediary, the price is greatly reduced. Hopefully this breakthrough will bring success to the villagers in the near future," Cong Giap shared.

In addition to growing sticky corn, Quang Linh's team also brought rice varieties from Vietnam to develop Angolan agriculture. Quang Linh said that the team spent a lot of effort to bring the varieties from Vietnam and apply appropriate models and techniques for cultivation and care. Linh Philip, a member of the African Team, said that the last rice crop alone took three and a half months. However, the team still plans to expand the rice acreage in Chilembo village during this year's dry season.

News of successful rice cultivation in a remote African country 10,000 km from Vietnam has caused a stir in the media, sparking admiration for Quang Linh and his friends.

The news spread so widely that Angola's Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, António Francisco de Assi, visited the farm to encourage the group. He praised their agricultural model and called the rice crop a "miracle." He also bought 5kg of rice to try.

With any crop, Quang Linh always tries to teach the locals to master the farming techniques. Because he believes that "giving the fishing rod is better than giving the fish". When visiting the rice fields, Bailundo District Chairman told the villagers that working with the Vietnamese at Quang Linh Farm is an opportunity to learn from their experiences to develop their homeland.

Currently, Quang Linh Farm, covering 30 hectares in Huambo province, is a complex of fish ponds, many shade trees, and many crops such as corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava, strawberries, etc.

According to Tien TuTi, a member of the group, it is immeasurable how much effort dozens of Vietnamese and Angolans have put in to turn the barren, rocky land into a fertile farm.

The innovative and effective farming models, especially the storage of irrigation water and fish farming in drought and waterlogged areas, have impressed local people. More specifically, Quang Linh Farm operates on the spirit of sharing. Along with creating jobs, teaching farming methods and paying monthly salaries, the group also shares profits with the people. Quang Linh said that sharing profits helps people ensure food and increase solidarity.

Over the past time, the group has distributed dozens of tons of rice to local people and built hundreds of schools and houses for the poor. In particular, the group has hired Vietnamese workers to drill hundreds of wells in rural areas across Angola.
