(HBO) - Lac Son is a large and densely populated district with not many favourable conditions for development. But over the past time, it has effectively applied the province's guidelines and orientations to its specific conditions. As a result, Lac Son has gained a lot of outstanding achievements in personnel work, land management and investment attraction.
Lac Son plastics factory creates jobs for about
1,000 local workers.
Lac Son is a poor district, ranking 6th out of
the 10 districts and city in terms of socio-economic indicators. The
urbanisation rate is only about 8.6%, with limited infrastructure. It has 120
micro- and small-sized businesses, of which 70 are active and have tax
declarations. Up to 90% of the population live in rural areas with difficult
conditions, and more than 20,000 labourers have to work far away.
Although the district is not a driving force of
the province, it has some potential and advantages in terms of land, natural
resources, workforce, and the rich culture of the Muong ethnic group. Lac Son
also owns Canh Tang lake - a large artificial facility in the northern region
with an area of 6 sq.km, which holds a great potential for the development of
various types of tourism.
After the district’s 27th Party Congress in
August 2020, the district Party Committee issued many resolutions on personnel
work, investment attraction, infrastructure and urban development, tourism, and
land management and site clearance, which were "bottlenecks” that needed to be
removed in order to get out of its poor district status and create development
breakthroughs.
Regarding investment attraction, the district
has rolled out a red carpet to lure more investors by accompanying and
supporting them in ground clearance and quick investment procedures in
accordance with regulations. To date, the district has attracted 31 investment projects,
including two foreign-invested ones with a combined registered capital of 11.27
trillion VND (475.3 million USD).
The district's state budget revenue has
increased continuously, from 47.4 billion VND in 2019 to 107 billion VND in
2020, and 142 billion VND in 2021. The figure is expected to hit 310 billion
VND this year./.
Maximizing local potential and advantages, Yen Tri commune in Yen Thuy district is actively promoting the cultivation of medicinal herbs and turning medicinal herbs into One Commune - One Product (OCOP) products.

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.
