Residents
in Vo hamlet, An Nghia commune, Lac Son district, invest in citrus trees which generate
good income.
Since the launch of the new-style rural area building, An Nghia
commune has been given a facelift, where people enjoy higher living standards. The
commune has planted citrus trees to replace plants with low-economic values.
Since 2013, An Nghia has developed 48.42ha of citrus trees, mostly in the
hamlets of Bum (19.85ha),Vo (5.05ha), and Doi 5 (15.9ha). The commune’s average
per capita income exceeds 26 million VND and the poverty rate drops to over 10
percent. During 2011-2017, An Nghia mobilised over 91 billion VND to implement
the new-style rural area programme, of which the commune’s budget and
contributions by locals was nearly 23 billion VND or 25.1 percent.
According to Vice Chairman of the Lac Son district People’s
Committee Nguyen Huy Nhuan, the district has carried out a movement encouraging
people to unite in building new rural areas. The movement has been responded by
departments, sectors and localities.
Through the communications work, people of all social strata in
the district have understood more about new-style rural area building and
constructively participated in the campaign. More than 168.2 million VND was
mobilised in 2017. Of the total, capital from the national target programme on
new-style rural areas was nearly 23.9 million VND; centralised infrastructure
capital of the province and the district was 51.6 million VND; capital from
integrated programmes, 31.2 million VND; credit loans, 44.6 million VND; and
capital contributed by the public, 17 million VND. Thanks to the joint efforts,
rural infrastructure has been invested, meeting people’s demands.
Apart from new-style rural area building, Lac Son has restructured
the agricultural sector towards value chain connection, focusing on plants and
animals that are of the locality’s advantages. The district has encouraged
communes to replace 373.48ha of rice with other plants. The area of citrus
trees reaches 551.2ha.
However, Nguyen Huy Nhuan, Vice Chairman of the Lac Son People’s
Committee, the number of new-style rural communes in Lac Son remains low due to
limited capital.
In 2018, the district aims to pour 77 billion VND in building new
rural areas and turn Yen Nghiem commune into a new-style rural area./.
