Cao Binh develops economy and eco-tourism

Cao Binh, the highest village in Tan My Commune, is known for its pristine natural beauty and the resilient spirit of its people. In recent years, the village has undergone significant changes, paving the way for economic growth and tourism development with new concrete roads and effective production models.

The sturgeon farming model by Luong Van Huu, the Secretary of the village youth union, has become a prominent destination for young people learning about economic development.

Currently, Cao Binh has 76 households, primarily of Dao and Tay ethnic groups. While life in the village remains challenging, thanks to the attention of local authorities and the efforts of the people, the villagers' incomes have steadily improved, with only 13 poor households remaining. In the past two years (2021–2022), the villagers contributed hundreds of millions of VND and donated thousands of square meters of land to concrete 3.5 kilometers of roads within the village.

Cao Binh is known for its high-quality agricultural products, such as spring peanuts, which are sold at a premium compared to other regions. Many families, like Luong Van Phuong’s, have earned tens of millions of VND from growing peanuts. Additionally, the village is famous for its black pig farming movement, with some households becoming millionaires through this business.

With nearly 200 hectares of natural land, Cao Binh has also succeeded in cultivating sugarcane. Over 50 households now grow more than 25 hectares of sugarcane, harvesting nearly 2,000 tons of raw material annually.

The people of Cao Binh still preserve the traditional practice of making rice cakes.

Cao Binh is not only focused on agricultural production but also tapping into its tourism potential. With its cool climate and pristine natural landscapes, especially the Nam Bun Cave, the village is developing eco-tourism and community-based tourism. Moreover, the sturgeon farming model by Luong Van Huu has become a notable tourist attraction.

With ongoing investment and support from local authorities and the community, Cao Binh is opening up new opportunities for economic and tourism development, promising to become a bright spot in Tan My Commune’s future.
