commune, suffered difficulties and had to rely on the Government's support.
However, their hardship has been lessened after joining a livelihood

fertilisers and techniques for taking care of the trees.

livestock to raise income, thus, his family is no longer on the list of poor
households.

project of multiplying the sustainable poverty model.

By the end of 2020, only five communes in the district have a poverty rate of
over 20% while eight communes and towns have a poverty rate of less than 10%
while three communes have a rate of less than 15%. The results are attributed
to the implementation of support production development and diversify
livelihood and multiplying of sustainable poverty reduction models in extremely
difficult communes as well as those that are included in Programme 30a and
Programme 135.
The total capital for supporting production in extremely
difficult communes was estimated at over 18.5 billion VND.
