Yen Thuy district has effectively implemented a project to support the construction of model new-style rural residential areas and gardens under the national target programme on new-style rural area building for 2021-2025.


The model pomelo orchard of Nguyen Duc Binh in Ngoc Luong commune, Yen Thuy district yields high economic value, with the fruit exported to the US.


Ngoc Luong is one of the first communes in Yen Thuy and Hoa Binh province to complete the new-style rural area building target in 2015, also one of the examples in building model gardens.

Bui Van Phuong, Secretary of the communal Party Committee, said the locality is home to 188 model gardens, adding local residents have been advised to pay attention to crop structure and grow citrus trees, especially Dien pomelo.

Thanks to the project, the district now counts 292 model gardens. The total funding for the project in the 2021-2023 period stood at at over 5.3 billion VND (208,538 USD).

Over the past three years, Yen Thuy has been given a facelift and local residents’ awareness of environmental landscape has been improved significantly.
