KPL) Since Borikhanh has been announced a poverty-free district of Borikhamsay province, the local authorities have speeded up the development of development village clusters and now the development of production model villages is taking shape.
The production by local people is in line with the policy of “One Village One Product” of the district. Take the production of traditional cane sugar lump “Nam oi kone” by villagers of Napa, Somsuen and Songkhone May as an example.
Farmers in these villages grow sugarcanes on 361.9 ha and the sugar production is the bread and butter for 137 families in these villages. The sales of sugar bring them 820 million kip annually.
The rice cultivation of Ban Bor is done on 339.4 ha and this area of farmland is irrigated in both rainy and dry seasons. Some 237 families in Bor village produce over 1,000 tonnes of rice annually and they rake in around 700 million kip from selling rice.
Weaving activities in seven villages of Phosy, Simoungkhoun, Done, Hard Siengtome, Phiengdy, Sisavath and Nahene are being promoted. Over 756 people in these villages are weavers, who turn out 10,500 handicraft items monthly and the sale of these products earns them 242 million kip per month.
Done, Hard Siengtome and Phiengdy have been named weaving model villages of Borikhanh district and a ceremony to announce their status was held on May 11. The ceremony saw the presence of Mr. Khampane Philavong, Borikhamsay governor.
The announcement also marks the transformation from scattered individual weaving activities to organised weavers’ groups. Each group divides their own members into different units to take charge of different duties of labour force, capital, production and marketing.
The weavers of these villages are also trained in their vocational skills. Their training is partially financed by international organisations and attracts much attention from local authorities.
They produce sinh (Lao traditional skirts), scarves, table sheets and various kinds of cotton and silk products and practise natural dyeing.
