Startup from Cacti: Young Man Turns Barren Land into Green Farm

Amid today's diverse startup trends, the story of Nguyen Huynh Y Nhy in Phu Long hamlet, Phu Thuan commune has attracted much attention for choosing to grow cacti on seemingly barren land. He proved that with creative ideas, any type of crop can bring high economic value.

Y Nhy's model not only helped him establish a solid career but also created jobs for local workers. With a spirit of daring to think and act, he turned spiny cacti into popular products, from mini succulents to house and office decorative plants. This initial success demonstrates that young people don't need to follow generic models; they can find their own path suited to local potential.

The Phu Thuan commune authorities also highly value this model, considering it a typical example in the startup movement in rural areas. Hopefully in the coming time, many other young people will learn from it and develop more unique models, contributing to diversifying the local agricultural economy.
