(HBO) - Defining income criteria is one of the important criteria to promote the completion of other criteria. Since the implementation of the national target program on building new rural areas, My Hoa commune (Tan Lac) has boldly transformed the structure of plants and animals; building new economic models, contributing to raising incomes, reducing the rate of poor households and promoting local socio-economic development.


The official of My Hoa Commune People's Committee (Tan Lac) exchanged the experiences on planting longan with Mr. Dao Ba Vinh's 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 of care, protection and development of livestock and poultry herds is 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 than 30 households involved in planting ".

In order to help and support the households in economic development, every year, the My Hoa commune authorities cooperate 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.

We visited Mr. Dao Ba Vinh's family in Don village, one of the prominent farmers in economic development. At present, the model of growing fruit trees of Mr. Vinh family has expanded to nearly 2 hectares, including 120 red grapefruit and 600 original Hung Yen longans. From 2016 to 2017, his family earned a first longan crop of 170 million VND. It is expected for the harvest in 2018 that Mr. Vinh's family will consume from 20-25 tons of longans, whose turnover is estimated at 350 million VND.

Thanks to the effective implementation of economic models, according to the statistics in 2017, the average income of My Hoa commune reached at 28 million VND / person / year. As a result, the commune fulfills the income criteria in the criteria standard of new rural construction.
