(HBO) - Heroic people and heroic land are what the village elders in Mong Hoa commune (Hoa Binh city) refer to when talking about the old victories in the two resistance wars against the French colonialists and the American imperialists. Since then, the land of Mong Hoa has put on a "new coat" of prosperity and happiness, and people's lives have been improved both materially and spiritually.

 


Infrastructure of Mong Hoa commune (Hoa Binh city) is upgraded with all roads concretised, meeting the travel demand of the residents.

Arriving at Mong Hoa today, we clearly recognise the change in its appearance from the sprouting up of industrial parks and factories to spacious concrete roads and big houses.

Mong Hoa commune has been merged from Mong Hoa (former) and Dan Hoa communes. These are the two localities that have completed the new-style rural areas building, so the new Mong Hoa commune now has many favourable conditions for socio-economic development. In particular, industry-handicrafts and trade - services fields are gradually becoming strengths of the locality.

Currently, the commune has 282 individual business households, most concentrated in Bai Nai area.

The commune has an industrial cluster zone operating in the area with investment from eight enterprises and 35 enterprises having gone into production and business activities, creating jobs for over 1,400 employees.

Agricultural activities has also been prospered. Outstanding results have been obtained in the first six months of this year. They include 83 hectares of lemongrass and 120 hectares of vegetables and beans of all kinds, maintaining and develop poultry herds of over 45,600 heads and over 1,600 heads of livestock and over 1,800 pigs. In particular, there are about 45 beekeeping households which collect thousands of liters of honey per year, worth nearly 1 billion VND (943,750 USD) a year.

Strolling on the concrete road from the gate of Du Phuong village to other hamlets, it is easy for everyone to feel that people here have benefited from practical values from the new-style rural building construction programme. For example, all rural road are concretised. The commune has two community houses and each village has one that people can gather for community activities. All schools meet national standards and 100 percent of households access to the electricity.

To achieve these results, the commune has mobilised resources up to nearly 93 billion VND, of which, local residents contributed nearly 21 billion VND, accounting for 23 percent of the total economic . The average income per capital in the commune has reached 50 million VND a year and the poverty rate has decreased to 1.52 percent./.
