procedures, investment and businesses policy regulations and planning
information were uploaded onto the district’s e-portal and publicly posted at

easy access to the necessary information.

as scheduled, he stressed.
Regarding the task in

to soon put the Public Administration Centre in operation while continuing the acceleration
of administrative reform.

more investment with careful selection and assessment, improve the quality of
human resources and mobilise investment to develop local socio-economic
infrastructure systems.

The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
