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. However, with joint efforts of the entire
political system and consensus of local residents, the commune met all the 19
criteria in 2015. 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./.
