HBO – Lac Thuy district faced a lot of difficulties when beginning the implementation of the new-style rural area building programme.


Lien Hoa commune (Lac Thuy) works to become new-style rural area in late 2018

 With the determination of the entire political system and the high consensus of locals, the building of new-style rural areas showed remarkable progress just after a short time. To date, the rural transport system has basically met locals’ demand for travelling and transporting goods. Irrigational works ensure enough water for 75 percent of rice fields and 31 percent of the total area of other crops, and for the daily life of locals. All communes and villages are connected to the national grid and have a liaison information system. Twelve out of 13 communes have standard trade infrastructure, and the rate of standard houses reaches 83.56 percent.

 Together with new-style rural building, Lac Thuy district has focused all resources on socio-economic development to improve locals’ spiritual and material lives. In 2017, the district stepped up restructuring in farming, forming concentrated production regions and large-scale fields. A concentrated citrus region was initially formed on an area of 1,146ha, while 200ha of miscellaneous gardens were improved. Three value chains have been implemented, including an exported chilli planting chain, a 40-ha safe vegetable planting chain and a chicken raising chain with 10,000 head. In addition, the operation of a safe food and farm produce cooperative has been maintained. The district has also attracted businesses’ investment in producing safe vegetables and medicinal plants following value chain linkage.

 The district has five communes meeting new-style rural area criteria, namely Dong Tam, Phu Lao, Co Nghia, Thanh Nong and Lac Long. Four communes which complete 15-18 criteria are An Binh, Phu Thanh, Lien Hoa, and Yen Bong, while the three communes of Khoan Du, An Lac ad Hung Thi meet 10-14 criteria. On average, each commune meets 15.69 criteria.

 During 2018-2020, the district will need 996 billion VND for the new-style rural area building, of which nearly 90 billion VND will come from the State budget, while over 193 billion VND from the local budget, 105 billion VND from integrated capital, 450 billion VND from credit loans, 75 billion VND from businesses, and 91 billion VND mobilised from the public via cash, working days and land donation./.
