With more than 20 types of flowers, from cut flowers (Lily, chrysanthemum, trumpet ...) to potted flowers, gourd flowers, decorative hanging flowers, carpet flowers, and grafted flowers, on average each type from 2.000 - 10.000 pot. The entire area is produced in greenhouses, net houses, so the productivity and quality are high, each year bringing in an income of over 1 billion VND.
"Although there are many loan channels that can be accessed, I consider the Agricultural Extension Fund to be a reliable support for production development, because the loan amount and loan term are suitable for the family's production scale. During the loan application process, I was also assisted by staff from the Phuc Tho Agricultural Extension Station (now the Service Center).
