commune.
Dong Phong had registered to complete the
target of becoming a new-style rural area in 2017. In 2011, the locality
fulfilled five criteria of a new-style rural area. At the end of 2017, the
commune completed 19 criteria. People’s living standards have been improved
significantly, and local political security and social order and safety
ensured.
Local farmers have shifted from rice
cultivation to sugarcane planting, and developed citrus orchards on hills.
Thanks to such efforts, the commune’s average yearly per capita income hit 15.9
million VND in 2011, and this was brought to 26 million VND last year. The rate
of poor households was reduced to 10.7 percent and that of near-poor
households, 14.2 percent. Up to 86.5 percent of local households were
recognised as cultural families and all the six hamlets in the commune
certified as cultural villages. All schools in the commune have met national
standards. Health insurance coverage in the locality was 95.3 percent, and
92.9% of the total households had access to clean water.
Dong Phong aims to maintain and improve the
quality of the 19 criteria during the 2018-2020 period. The locality will
invest more in rural socio-economic infrastructure, promote production, improve
material and spiritual life of local people and ensure sustainable development.
The Chairman of the provincial People’s
Committee presented a welfare facility valued at 450 million VND to Dong Phong
commune.
At the ceremony, the Cao Phong district
People’s Committee also presented certificates of merit to two collectives and
six individuals in recognition of their outstanding achievements in building
the new-style rural area. /.

Red grapefruit is a native crop of Tan Lac district, where the fertile soil and favourable climate create ideal conditions for its growth. With over 80% of the area being mountainous, at an altitude of 300-400 metres above sea level, red grapefruits here thrive on well-drained, fertile hillside soil.
