With the investment, Co Nghia’s infrastructure network has improved greatly, meeting socio-economic development requirements and serving production development and locals’ life.
The agricultural structure has been shifted on the right track. Specifically, to make use of the commune’s advantages and natural conditions, in February 2016, several households planted asparagus to replace low-yield food crops.
