Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen
Van Dung said the local living standards have been improved in recent years
thanks to the close leadership and guidance of local authorities, particularly
efforts of ethnic groups to get out of poverty and build new-style rural areas.
Besides the State’s support, locals have contributed
resources to implement the programme effectively. They donated working days,
land, goods and cash worth over 366 billion VND.
The provincial People’s Committee has issued specific plans
to carry out the drive, along with a number of mechanisms and policies to
attract and mobilise investment for communes to complete targets of building
new rural areas.
Localities in the province have mobilised over 48.2 billion
VND from other programmes and projects to implement 200 production development
models. Many have built plans to develop small-and medium-sized production models
connecting households and businesses to generate jobs and increase incomes for
locals. As a result, in 2019, the per capita income in rural areas increased to
about 32 million VND. The rate of poor households was reduced to 11.36 percent.
As a result, 103 out of the total 191 communes have met the criterion on the
household poverty rate, up 14 communes from 2018./.
After more than four years of implementing a project launched by the Hoa Binh Party Committee’s Standing Board on developing agriculture and promoting product consumption linked with building new-style rural areas for the 2021-2025 period, the province’s industry and trade sector has made significant strides, greatly contributing to local socio-economic development.
Luong Son district has identified 2025 as the year for the accelerated breakthrough to successfully implement the socio-economic development plan for the 5-year period from 2021 to 2025. The district has been focusing on executing the plans and trying to achieve a GRDP growth rate of approximately 15%.
Since the beginning of this year, under the direction of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the Sub-Department of Agricultural, Forestry, and Fishery Product Quality Management has strengthened the integration of the professional activities to promote and guide the organizations and individuals in the production and trading of agricultural, forestry, and fishery products to comply with the legal regulations regarding the use of chemicals, pesticides and veterinary medicines in crop cultivation, livestock farming and aquaculture. They also provide guidance to processing and manufacturing establishments on keeping the records to trace the product origins and using food additives from the approved list according to the regulations.
