family (right) in Don village.
Accordingly, the local people in the commune
make full use of the potential, advantages of climate, soil and labor resources
to build and expand economic models. In particular, sugarcane is still
considered as the main crop with an annual area of about 290 hectares. The work

maintained with the number of over 20,000 animals per year. From 2014 up to
now, many households in the area have been dynamic and creative to convert the
area of mixed garden land to pilot the model of planting citrus and Hung Yen
longans. As a result, the citrus fruit area has grown over 50 hectares, mainly
of orange kinds of V2, Yellow, sweet Canh, Dien grapefruit, etc. In addition,
the area of the longan planting has been expanded about 20 hectares with more

with all the departments, unions and organizations to organize 4-5 training
courses and transfer technology and science for the local people, facilitating more than 700 households to access
funds from the Social Policy Bank and the Bank for Agriculture and Rural
Development with total outstanding loans of over 50 billion VND.
