Local economic development
After graduating from Vinh University in 2018 with a degree in Economics, Nguyen Hong Tiep decided to return to his hometown to start a business and participate in local Youth Union activities. He began building a deer farming model to develop his family's traditional profession.
Mr. Tiep started his business path according to the livestock model in May 2021. At this time, he renovated 2.5 hectares of his family's garden and built a system of barns consisting of 3 large rows. With a total start-up cost of more than 1 billion VND.
Instead of raising deer in the traditional way, he started applying breeding techniques from the biological circulation model. That is, using organic bedding from peanut shells and sawdust to treat waste, minimizing environmental pollution and disease. According to Mr. Tiep, this method not only brings economic efficiency but also creates a better living environment for deer and workers.

Determining the role of breeding stock is very important, in the early days of starting his business, Mr. Tiep traveled all over the district to find and buy quality male deer. There were some breeding stock that he invested hundreds of millions of VND each.
From the initial model of only a few dozen deer, Mr. Tiep's farm now has more than 180 deer, including male deer for velvet antlers and female deer for breeding.
In addition, not only stopping at raising animals on the farm, Mr. Tiep also expanded the model by connecting with local households and businesses to provide breeds, technical support, and create a production and consumption chain to ensure sustainable output.
Up to now, Mr. Tiep is cooperating with households in Lam Dong and Quang Binh provinces to raise a model with a total herd of about 1,000 pigs. Annual revenue reaches 3 billion VND from raising livestock on the farm combined with the model chain. Currently, Mr. Tiep's farm is providing regular jobs for 3 local workers and 7 seasonal workers.
