A Thao (R), a resident of Hang Kia hamlet in the commune of the same name,
receives 100 plum seedlings sourcing from Programme 135 to develop his family’s
economy.
In 2019, the commune provided 73 local households with about 5,420 plum seedlings and 5.5 tonnes of fertiliser funded by Programme 135. The families had access to loans from the Bank for Social Policy to expand their production. They used the money for the right purposes, pay off their loans and interests before the due date.
The commune is home to 820 ha of maize yielding 8 tonnes per ha; 70 ha of edible canna generating 30 tonnes per ha, along with passion fruit and other crops of good quality and productivity.
It has efficiently controlled the spread of infectious diseases by spraying disinfectant for over 1,200 cattle heads, 900 pigs and 8,500 fowls. Besides, the forest coverage hit 59 percent, with no illegal logging being reported.
Five major constructions in the commune were upgraded, along with roads in alleys and hamlets totalling 2.55 km in length. The road linking Hang Kia and Thung Man hamlets was put into use, as well as reservoirs and irrigational works.
Accommodation establishments have been set up in the locality to launch homestay services, in a bid to unlock potential for tourism development. Meanwhile, brocade weaving facilities have created jobs for many local workers, contributing to the conservation and development of traditional culture. The commune has also paid due attention to social welfare and living conditions of the poor, social policy beneficiaries and the disadvantaged.
