The initiative is supported by all households in the village. Those who don’t have land in the production area actively contribute their workdays.

Determining the leadership focusing on the grassroots, the commune actively calls on cadres, party members and locals to shift the structure of crops and livestock in line with market demand.

The poverty rate dropped to 12.56 percent, and all communes in the district met the criteria relating to employment in the new rural building programme. Security and order are guaranteed and social evils are reduced at the same time.
