Lac Thuy district has many advantages in terms of climate and soil; hard-working and diligent people, along with a large area of agricultural land to develop safe agricultural models. These are favourable conditions for the district to develop OCOP (one commune one product) products from its agricultural resources and strengths. In addition, its socio-economic infrastructure system has been renovated and upgraded, facilitating the development of trade, services and tourism.
