Mr. Hoa's orchid and ornamental plant garden not only brings in revenue of 1 billion VND/year, but also becomes a favorite tourist destination and learning place for many customers, members, and farmers who love ornamental plants in and outside the province.

Along with farming, he also develops the profession of raising lizards, with a stable income of 25 million VND/year.

In addition, Mr. Hoa also expanded into the field of restoring and trading wooden houses - the traditional profession that his family pursues. Each year, the wooden house business brings in about 1.5 billion VND for the family.
