Co Nghia is the model commune in new-style rural area building in Lac Thuy district. In 2011 when the programme was launched, the locality fulfilled only four criteria.

The programme has helped complete the infrastructure system in the commune, better meet socio-economic requirements and improve people’s living standards.

 The commune has paid special attention to production in order to raise locals’ income. Therefore, over the past years, Co Nghia has instructed local residents to shift the structure of plants and livestock, and apply science-technology in production. As a result, there are many effective production models such as a cultivation model with nearly 80 hectares of citrus and other kinds of fruit trees. Co Nghia now accommodates eight animal breeding and aquaculture farms that have created jobs for tens of local labourers. Many households earn from 1-2 billion VND each year.

 With transport advantages, Co Nghia has paid heed to services and craft production with more than 15 wood processing, construction material production and mechanic facilities, along with over 120 households that provide services and run small business. The local economic structure has been shifted towards higher rate of services and trade, craft and high-quality agricultural production. The commune’s annual average per capita income exceeds 38 million VND, with poverty rate dropping to 6.37 percent. Up to 88 percent of households and over 90 percent of residential areas in the commune have been recognised as cultural families and residential areas. Nearly all households have access to electricity. Besides, political and social stability, security and social order and safety have been maintained in the commune./.
