with relevant ministries and agencies in agricultural restructuring in line
with the district’s socio-economic development strategy and planning, and in
combination with sustainable new rural area building.
The agricultural restructuring must be carried out in accordance with the

farmers and consumers, and improve production quality and efficiency.
Mr Nguyen Anh Duc, head of the district’s bureau of agriculture and rural
development, said agricultural restructuring is an important, long-term task
that is closely linked with the national target programme on new rural area
building.

collective economic models, forming production and consumption chains, stepping

As a result, it now has ten new rural communes. Thanks to changed plant
structure and production chains, the district’s income per capita has reached
31 million VND each year and the poverty rate dropped to 1.91 percent.
