Lac Thuy district made a breakthrough in the land redistribution work during 2020-2023 to develop large-scale fields, creating favourable conditions for businesses, cooperatives, and other economic sectors to invest in the production of agricultural commodities, and helping improve productivity and income for farmers.
Machines have been used to harvest crops in An Binh commune, Lac Thuy district.
An Binh commune has been a bright spot in the land redistribution scheme, with 381 hectares of land redistributed during 2019-2023, or 42.2% of the commune’s total areas designated for agricultural production, surpassing its set target. The commune has also been paying due attention to building rural road and irrigational works.
Chairman of the communal People’s Committee Quach Cong Muoi said the scheme has helped raise public awareness of the new-style rural building as it has encouraged them to donate land and money to develop technical infrastructure for production.
By the end of 2023, the district had redistributed 620 hectares of land, on which local farmers cultivate high-yield and quality plants under good agricultural practices (GAP), and with advanced techniques. The farmers said thanks to the reorganisation of production, their earning from a hectare of crop has risen 29%.
Vice Chairwoman of the district People’s Committee Hoang Thi Thu Hang said the district is striving to redistribute 1,020 hectares of land by 2025, and will step up communications work to engage more locals in the scheme.
Lac Thuy will continue developing agricultural production in value chain, and supporting production in accordance with specific standards, creating motives to accelerate the land distribution work, she added.
Hoa Binh province currently has 134 non-agricultural cooperatives, accounting for representing 26.8% of the local total cooperatives. Of them, 42 are in industry and handicrafts, 10 in construction, 13 in electricity, 20 in trade and services, 6 in environmental sanitation services, 14 in transportation, 10 in tourism, and 19 in other fields.
Digital transformation in building new-style rural areas aims to gradually establish smart rural areas, enhance community activity efficiency, and contribute to making the National Target Programme on Building New-style Rural Areas more effective and sustainable. Hoa Binh province has implemented many models and programmes on digital transformation in rural areas, gradually meeting the requirements of comprehensive digital transformation.
In 2016, Yen Tri commune in Yen Thuy district was recognised as a new-style rural area in 2016, an advanced new-style rural area in 2020 and a model new-style rural area in 2021, respectively. It is the first and only commune in the province meeting the criteria for model new-style rural areas.
Aside from engaging in agricultural sector, there still some non-agricultural occupations that are suitable for women, especially ethnic minority women in rural areas. Based on the demand of learners, agencies and units in Yen Thuy district have implemented vocational training programmes that associate with employment opportunities and meet demand of labour market.
Over recent years, the People's Committee of Lac Son district has implemented various policies to support vocational training in traditional industry cooperatives, especially in ethnic minority areas. As a result, many households have get rid of poverty. Vocational training and startup support projects have also helped create numerous new jobs, increase income for workers, improve living conditions, and create conditions for sustainable development in the ethnic minority areas of the district.
A collective labour agreement (CLA) is a negotiated document between employees and employers that outlines agreed-upon working conditions, achieved through collective bargaining. CLA is considered a key solution to minimising and resolving conflicts within businesses, fostering harmonious, stable, and progressive labour relations, which in turn help businesses thrive and ensure stable, higher incomes for workers.
