 Mr. Dinh Duc Phu started a successful business from deer farming. |
At home, during the worst epidemic, Mr. Fu wanted to do something practical, both make money and help people stay healthy.
“I want to start a unique business model that few people do. Through research, I learned that the “Four Great Medicines” of the East include ginseng-velvet-cinnamon-fu. Quang Nam already has ginseng and cinnamon “and the filler here is the papaya tree, under the umbrella tree. Yes, but this type is not suitable for the local climate, so only deer antlers are effective,” Mr. Fu said.
To do this, with the capital accumulated during his time in Japan at the end of 2020, Mr. Fu invested nearly 2 billion VND to renovate his family’s garden and borrowed more to raise and buy sika deer.
 Deer eat simple foods so raising them is relatively easy. |
According to Mr. Fu, raising sika deer is not very difficult. It is an animal with good resistance, few diseases and is easily adaptable to all climates, so it only requires some experience in caring for it and quickly determining the method. treatment.
“On a garden of about 2 hectares, corn, cassava, potatoes and grass are grown to prepare food for deer.
Mr. Fu added that sika deer have a lifespan of up to 20 years before becoming extinct.
“When preparing to harvest antlers, farmers must feed the deer 1-2 months in advance so that the deer are healthy and the antlers reach the best weight and quality. At the time of harvesting the antlers, the storage time is only 45 days. He said this velvet is rich in medicinal properties and then “The velvet will grow old and fall off on its own.”
On average, an adult deer collects 1-2 generations of antlers each year.
 The price of fresh deer antler ranges from 15 – 20 million VND/kg. |
In particular, in the past, he mainly sold fresh deer antlers to customers, but now Mr. Phuc produces many products such as deer antler extract, deer antlers soaked in honey, dried deer antlers, deer antlers mixed with ginseng, dyed with alcohol, etc. .
Currently, the production of these products is relatively stable, and many people want to buy deer antlers because of the health benefits they bring.
“For me, there is no place like home. So no matter what, I hope to become rich in this land. In the future, I will continue to raise deer on a scale of about 50 deer. That is the source of raw materials supplied to the market. deer antlers and breeds are stable,” Mr. Fu said.
