00:00:03.404 --> 00:00:06.739 
In the western mountainous region of
Thanh Hoa province, where the springs 

00:00:06.739 --> 00:00:08.684 
are year-round clear, weaving through the villages, 

00:00:09.004 --> 00:00:13.369 
a sturgeon farming model is making a
mark by turning natural advantages into 

00:00:13.369 --> 00:00:15.384 
3-star octopus products, bringing stable income. 

00:00:16.004 --> 00:00:19.398 
A few years ago, Mr. Pham Ngoc Thanh and
Ms. Luong Thi Luc decided to resume 

00:00:19.398 --> 00:00:21.944 
their old jobs to return to
their hometown of Son Dien commune. 

00:00:21.944 --> 00:00:24.840 
to find directions for economic
development. Realizing that natural cold 

00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:29.184 
water is very suitable for sturgeon,
they boldly invested in a system of circulating tanks, 

00:00:29.184 --> 00:00:32.418 
lead water from the source and begin the
journey to conquer the famous aquatic 

00:00:32.418 --> 00:00:33.804 
species that is difficult to farm. 

00:00:34.404 --> 00:00:39.444 
In the early days, I faced risks many
times due to weather, water quality and care techniques. 

00:00:39.824 --> 00:00:43.511 
But with persistence and continuous
learning, the first batches of fish have 

00:00:43.511 --> 00:00:46.584 
yielded positive results, opening up new
directions for the highlands. 

00:00:48.803 --> 00:00:52.703 
The advantage in this area is that there
is a lot of love. 

00:00:52.703 --> 00:00:57.653 
because it has groundwater flowing
directly from rocky mountains, stable 

00:00:57.653 --> 00:01:00.623 
temperatures from 21 to 21.5 degrees. 

00:01:00.623 --> 00:01:04.583 
So the fish grows and develops
evenly all year round. 

00:01:05.123 --> 00:01:11.003 
So after a year of raising, it grows
very quickly and exceeds mixing. 

00:01:11.183 --> 00:01:14.732 
And furthermore, this water source is
never cloudy, any water is 

00:01:14.732 --> 00:01:16.023 
clear, all year round. 

00:01:16.023 --> 00:01:20.783 
No matter how heavy the rain or storm,
this water source is still clear and clean. 

00:01:21.323 --> 00:01:27.039 
So the fish meat is very golden, firm
and fragrant, with a lot of difference 

00:01:27.039 --> 00:01:28.563 
compared to other places. 

00:01:29.329 --> 00:01:31.774 
To date, Thanh Luc Agricultural and
Aquatic Service Cooperative supplies 

00:01:31.774 --> 00:01:34.707 
more than 10 tons of commercial sturgeon
each year, with a revenue 

00:01:34.707 --> 00:01:35.929 
of about 2 billion VND. 

00:01:36.469 --> 00:01:38.949 
The product has standardized the
production process, packaging, 

00:01:38.949 --> 00:01:42.049 
traceability and achieved 3-star o coc
certification, gradually expanding the 

00:01:42.049 --> 00:01:43.909 
market to many provinces and cities. 

00:01:44.349 --> 00:01:48.761 
Not only bringing economic efficiency to
families, the model also creates jobs 

00:01:48.761 --> 00:01:52.069 
for local workers and affirms
value from local resources. 

00:01:54.151 --> 00:01:58.651 
This is a model for developing
households and creating meaning for local workers. 

00:01:59.331 --> 00:02:01.531 
And this is a local umbrella product. 

00:02:01.911 --> 00:02:04.351 
I and the commune are very much creating conditions for cooperatives. 

00:02:04.551 --> 00:02:08.491 
The first is about site clearance,
things to create conditions for households. 

00:02:09.007 --> 00:02:12.471 
From the cold streams in the great
forest, the sturgeon farming model in 

00:02:12.471 --> 00:02:15.136 
Son Dien is opening up a sustainable
agricultural development direction, 

00:02:15.136 --> 00:02:17.801 
contributing to increasing income and
creating more motivation for economic 

00:02:17.801 --> 00:02:19.667 
development for the highlands of the city.
