Spreading an effective production model, Lao Dong Newspaper helps Dak Lak people escape poverty

Spreading effective economic development models

In the period of 2021 - 2025, from the resources of the National Target Program, Dak Lak provincial authorities at all levels have focused on implementing many synchronous solutions to propagate and disseminate economic models of agriculture and livestock farming in ethnic minority areas.

However, a part of the people are still hesitant and hesitant when approaching new economic models. In addition, the transport infrastructure is not yet synchronous, and the resources of commune-level government are limited, making it difficult to replicate effective models.

Over the past two years, Lao Dong Newspaper reporters have made many field trips to remote communes and ethnic minority areas to explore and introduce economic models to help people escape poverty and rise up.

Typically, the breeding cow model in Krong Nang district, the goat farming model in Dlie Ya commune... have been specifically reported in newspapers, helping people and officials inside and outside the province have more reference documents for research and application in the locality.

Ms. Ksor H' Thoa (Ea Hiao commune, Dak Lak) shared: "At the end of May 2025, I read in Lao Dong Newspaper the article: "Crong Nang people diversify their livelihoods to escape poverty", detailing the journey of people to escape poverty thanks to the goat farming model. I find that the locality where I live has a suitable climate and water source to apply this model. Recently, I have started building a barn, buying some breeding goats to raise, hoping to improve my income".

Creating clear changes in ethnic minority areas

Mr. Truong Cong Thai - Vice Chairman of Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee - said that in recent years, thanks to resources from the National Target Programs, the province has always prioritized supporting poor and near-poor households in ethnic minority areas. To help people develop the economy and escape poverty sustainably, localities in the province have deployed and replicated many highly feasible agricultural and livestock models.

According to Mr. Thai, the province has arranged quality crops and varieties to support production; at the same time, sent agricultural officials to directly guide the people on techniques. Thanks to that, after 5 years, the rate of poor and near-poor households in ethnic minority areas has decreased significantly.

Mr. Thai also highly appreciated the role of Lao Dong Newspaper in propaganda work. In the past 2 years, many articles have promptly and vividly reflected effective economic models in ethnic minority areas, helping people in other localities have the opportunity to follow, learn and apply them in practice.

In reality, models such as cattle farming, goat farming, fruit intercropping... introduced by Lao Dong Newspaper not only have high informational value, but are also a basis for people in remote areas to boldly learn or ask local officials for additional support in the implementation process.

"The propaganda work of Lao Dong Newspaper has contributed to changing production thinking, helping people access modern economic methods. This is also part of the efforts to effectively implement the National Target Program for Socio-Economic Development in Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Areas for the period 2021 - 2030, Mr. Thai emphasized.
