In recent years, many farmer households in Yen Tri commune (Yen Thuy district) have invested in economic development with the model of growing medicinal plants.
Da Phuc is an extremely disadvantageous commune, with a very low starting point for new-style rural area construction. With the consensus of the local Party committee, authorities and people, including contributions by members of the Farmers’ Association, in early May, the commune was recognised as a new-style rural area.
Truong Duc Han, Chairman of the commune Farmers’ Association, said that in order for its members to respond to local activities and contribute to building and completing new-style rural area criteria, in recent years, the association has actively stepped up dissemination to help them understand their roles and responsibilities in this work. It has also regularly innovated contents and forms of activities to attract more members to join this work. At the end of 2023, the commune fulfilled all 19 new-style rural area criteria. The commune Farmers’ Association has built one model residential area and nine model gardens; and developed and maintained two OCOP (one commune one product) products that meet 3-star standards.
Since the beginning of this year, member farmers in the province have donated 10,210sq.m of land for rural roads; and helped build and repair rural roads, dredge canals, and build one bridge and 12 mini garbage incinerators.
Along with dissemination work, every year, the associations at all levels launch a production and business emulation movement, which has created an atmosphere of labour and production competition, and determination to increase the number of well-off and rich households and reduce the number of poor ones, thus contributing to achieving the income-related criterion.
Thanks to the new-style rural area building movement, local farmers have had a clear change in production methods, towards forming specialised farming areas, building effective economic models, and applying science and technology in production, thus bringing about high economic values.
Nguyen Thi Huong Hai, Vice Chairwoman of the provincial Farmers’ Association, said that in the coming time, the associations at all levels will continue bettering communication work to encourage more members to join hands in building new-style rural areas.
