NEW ACTIVITIES IN KIEN TUONG

In Kien Tuong province the government has helped farmers with seed, livestock and agricultural tools to help increase production and so improve the people's standard of living. In addition, training classes on animal raising and farming have been organized to help the people learn new methods. Thanks to this, hundreds of farmers have been able to increase production in crops as well as livestock.

Mr. Nguyen Van Tuoi, who has eagerly joined the rural development programme, smiles as he looks at the big, plump peanuts he grew.

Kien Tuong farmers are now able to have good breeding pigs to raise thanks to the government's rural development programme.

This old woman, a student in the animal-raising training class, is practising how to inoculate pigs against disease. This is a first step in the direction of a new way of life.
