Kim Lap, a remote commune with more than 90% of its population being ethnic minority people, built a cross-bred cow farming project worth over 400 million VND (15,700 USD), providing calves and technical training for 48 poor and near-poor households. Thanks to the model, many locals have escaped poverty.
Striving to become a new-style rural commune in 2024, Thach Yen has integrated various resources to help its residents improve incomes. During 2022-2023, it joined hands with competent divisions of the district to support job transition for rural youths, development of pig farming for impoverished households, and acacia seedlings for those in difficulties.
Vice Chairman of the communal People’s Committee Bui Van Hau said local ethnic minority people have also received assistance in economic management and introduction of products to the market.
According to Nguyen Van Tien, an official from the province’s board for ethnic minority affairs, Hoa Binh is carrying out various projects to create sustainable livelihoods for its residents. As of April, more than 94.14 billion VND was disbursed for them, or 44.55% of the allocated capital.
With the money, the board has worked closely with relevant sides to improve the efficiency of the local production, prioritising support for agricultural cooperatives to apply advanced technologies and promote value chain.
To date, localities have successfully developed over 30 cooperative brands such as Mai Chau purple garlic, Pa Co – Hang Kia black chicken, Muong Dong bamboo-tube rice, and Son Thuy longan. Production linkages have been maintained, bringing high revenue to firms and cooperatives, he said.
Ngoc Luong commune in Yen Thuy district is striving to reach the finish line in advanced new-style rural area building in 2024. By promoting the implementation of solutions, the commune has to date completed necessary criteria set for advanced new-style rural communes for the 2021 – 2025 period.
