Officials, party members of Dong Bac
commune, Kim Boi district, visit a longan growing model of party member Bui Van
Thuan in Ve hamlet.
Bui Van
Thuan, deputy head of the Dong Bac commune Party Committee’s Inspection
Commission and a Party member in Ve hamlet, has seen the busiest these days.
The reason is that more than 300 longan trees of his family are in harvest
season. This year, the total longan output is expected to exceed seven tonnes.
His longan fruits, produced in line with the VietGap standards, are favourite
in the market.
His
longan growing model was built in 2012, Thuan said, adding that his family took
all the area of the commune’s deserted swamp and improved it for growing longan
trees as part of efforts to restructure crops.
As a
member of the Fruit Growing Cooperative of Son Thuy commune, he learns longan planting
technique and commits to produce longan fruits in line with the VietGap
standards. As a result, his longan garden generates hundreds of millions dongs
per year.
Thuan’s
longan garden is among the outstanding economic models run by Party members.
Bui Duc Binh, Secretary of the Dong Bac commune Party Committee, highlighted
the commune’s favourable conditions for economic development, saying that it
locates on
Being
aware of the reality, the commune’s Party Committee developed and issued a
resolution on improving mixed gardens, restructuring crops and developing
high-valued fields. In order to implementing the resolution, the leadership
role of communal party organisations and members has been identified as the key
factor and they have to set examples for all people. Therefore, the commune has
joined hands with Kim Boi district’s sectors to send its cadres and party
members to learn effective economic models to apply in the locality.
Promoting
the role of local officials and party members in economic development has given
a boost to production in the commune. The commune’s party organisation
instructed the administration and social organisations to play their leadership
and pioneering role in economic restructuring.
Currently, a large number of
party members have fully taken use of land to restructure their crops by
growing high-value trees, such as sugarcane, red-pulp dragon fruits, citruses,
and longan trees.
Local farmers are encouraged to
cultivate in line with the VietGap standards to enhance their agricultural
products’ value. Over 40 hectares of high-yield fruit trees have been grown
across the commune.
