(HBO) – The living standards of people in Lac Son district, the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh have been improved and rural areas in the locality have seen positive changes as seven communes in Lac Son have been recognised as new-style rural areas.

Residents in Vo hamlet, An Nghia commune, Lac Son district, invest in citrus trees which generate good income.

Since the launch of the new-style rural area building, An Nghia commune has been given a facelift, where people enjoy higher living standards. The commune has planted citrus trees to replace plants with low-economic values. Since 2013, An Nghia has developed 48.42ha of citrus trees, mostly in the hamlets of Bum (19.85ha),Vo (5.05ha), and Doi 5 (15.9ha). The commune’s average per capita income exceeds 26 million VND and the poverty rate drops to over 10 percent. During 2011-2017, An Nghia mobilised over 91 billion VND to implement the new-style rural area programme, of which the commune’s budget and contributions by locals was nearly 23 billion VND or 25.1 percent.

According to Vice Chairman of the Lac Son district People’s Committee Nguyen Huy Nhuan, the district has carried out a movement encouraging people to unite in building new rural areas. The movement has been responded by departments, sectors and localities.

Through the communications work, people of all social strata in the district have understood more about new-style rural area building and constructively participated in the campaign. More than 168.2 million VND was mobilised in 2017. Of the total, capital from the national target programme on new-style rural areas was nearly 23.9 million VND; centralised infrastructure capital of the province and the district was 51.6 million VND; capital from integrated programmes, 31.2 million VND; credit loans, 44.6 million VND; and capital contributed by the public, 17 million VND. Thanks to the joint efforts, rural infrastructure has been invested, meeting people’s demands.

Apart from new-style rural area building, Lac Son has restructured the agricultural sector towards value chain connection, focusing on plants and animals that are of the locality’s advantages. The district has encouraged communes to replace 373.48ha of rice with other plants. The area of citrus trees reaches 551.2ha.

However, Nguyen Huy Nhuan, Vice Chairman of the Lac Son People’s Committee, the number of new-style rural communes in Lac Son remains low due to limited capital.

In 2018, the district aims to pour 77 billion VND in building new rural areas and turn Yen Nghiem commune into a new-style rural area./.
