Project Site & Programmes
Frequent observations and surveys were conducted, revealing a soil pH range of 5.4–7.5, suitable for cultivating vegetables and various fruit trees. On February 12, 2005, the Institute planted its first crop, a vine, on the LIDC grounds. By mid-2005, the Institute expanded its agricultural activities to include Orange, Lemon, Avocado, Tea, Coffee, Pineapple, Mango, and various vegetables.
The LIDC boasts a three-story RCC main building, a swimming training center, two public pavilions, two staff residences, two small shelters for livestock breeding, and four fish ponds. A spring water supply was constructed to serve the Lailun farm. The center raises goats, fish, and poultry, emphasizing animal husbandry as a cornerstone for sustainable programs and providing organic fertilizer for processing plants.
Additionally, the farm cultivates star grass, rensoni, water beans, corn, and other leguminous plants for animal feed. This integrated approach supports both agricultural and livestock development, ensuring a balanced and sustainable farming system.
