Nam Phong was known as a commune that pioneered crop restructuring with the rice growing area reduced and the sugarcane growing area increased. Planting citrus fruit trees, afforestation, and animal husbandry are new ways for residents to increase their incomes.
Dinh Duc Chinh, chairman of Nam Phong commune People's Committee, said local authorities and people are united and actively building a new life. In 2016, the commune met the criteria to become a new-styled rural area. Since then, the commune has continued to maintain its recognition.
Residents are actively donating land to expand roads. They also keep houses and public work green, clean, and beautiful, creating an increasingly innovative rural look. Locals have donated land to open the road from National Highway 6 to the centre of the commune, and other internal roads. At the beginning of this year, the commune started the construction of a primary school, with an area of 9,400 sq.m in Tram hamlet. As many as 26 households agreed to move to make room for the school. So far, 16 classrooms have been built.
Chinh said that one of the most prominent achievements made in the commune is that it has solved environmental problems well. With support from the State, the commune built a garbage dump and incinerator. The commune established a group of three members who are responsible for collecting garbage twice a week and then carrying the waste to the incinerator for treatment. Along with that, the commune also promoted communication, calling on people to actively participate in environmental protection activities.
By now, the per capita income of the commune has reached 47 million VND/year. The commune’s poor households number has decreased to 13%.
