HBO – From an agriculture-based commune with a lot of economic difficulties, Dong Bac commune in Kim Boi district has emerged as one of the communes achieving comprehensive development.


Officials, party members of Dong Bac commune, Kim Boi district, visit a longan growing model of party member Bui Van Thuan in Ve hamlet.

Bui Van Thuan, deputy head of the Dong Bac commune Party Committee’s Inspection Commission and a Party member in Ve hamlet, has seen the busiest these days. The reason is that more than 300 longan trees of his family are in harvest season. This year, the total longan output is expected to exceed seven tonnes. His longan fruits, produced in line with the VietGap standards, are favourite in the market.

His longan growing model was built in 2012, Thuan said, adding that his family took all the area of the commune’s deserted swamp and improved it for growing longan trees as part of efforts to restructure crops.

As a member of the Fruit Growing Cooperative of Son Thuy commune, he learns longan planting technique and commits to produce longan fruits in line with the VietGap standards. As a result, his longan garden generates hundreds of millions dongs per year.

Thuan’s longan garden is among the outstanding economic models run by Party members. Bui Duc Binh, Secretary of the Dong Bac commune Party Committee, highlighted the commune’s favourable conditions for economic development, saying that it locates on National Road12B and near the district downtown. However, the commune had witnessed no breakthrough development, because most of local farmers grew rice on small-sized fields and in a traditional way, which hampered technological application.

Being aware of the reality, the commune’s Party Committee developed and issued a resolution on improving mixed gardens, restructuring crops and developing high-valued fields. In order to implementing the resolution, the leadership role of communal party organisations and members has been identified as the key factor and they have to set examples for all people. Therefore, the commune has joined hands with Kim Boi district’s sectors to send its cadres and party members to learn effective economic models to apply in the locality.

Promoting the role of local officials and party members in economic development has given a boost to production in the commune. The commune’s party organisation instructed the administration and social organisations to play their leadership and pioneering role in economic restructuring.

Currently, a large number of party members have fully taken use of land to restructure their crops by growing high-value trees, such as sugarcane, red-pulp dragon fruits, citruses, and longan trees.

Local farmers are encouraged to cultivate in line with the VietGap standards to enhance their agricultural products’ value. Over 40 hectares of high-yield fruit trees have been grown across the commune.
