The district set a goal for the period 2021 - 2025 of all 10 communes meeting new-style rural area standards, including three recognised as advanced new-style rural areas and two as model new-style rural ones. It also strives to build 30 model rural residential areas and 400 model gardens, support standardisation of eight OCOP (one commune one product) products, and assist Hang Tram town in meeting civilised urban standards. The district continues to promote dissemination and effectively carry out the emulation movement "Yen Thuy district joins hands to build new-style rural areas" associated with the campaign "All people stay united to build new-style rural areas and civilised urban areas".
Yen Thuy also focuses resources on communes that are nearly completing the required criteria, and those that have been new-style rural areas and are able to become advanced and model ones with a total allocated capital of 3.65 trillion VND (146.9 million USD).
To date, Yen Thuy has yet to meet four out of the nine criteria, including: No. 2 on traffic, No. 5 on health - culture – education, No. 6 on economy, and No. 7 on the environment. In 2024, the district strives to complete criteria No. 2 and No. 5.
Bui Van Hai, Chairman of the district People's Committee, said that implementing the new-style rural area building programme, the district has by now seen a lot of improvements, with its economic structure shifting in the right direction, and the average per capita income reaching about 52 million VND a year. The district has zoned off areas for producing medicinal herbs and fruit trees, formed many new cooperative models associated with the value chain, applied production processes in accordance with VietGAP standards, and signed production cooperation and product sale contracts with businesses. In 2024, the district strives to help Lac Sy become a new-style rural commune, Ngoc Luong complete criterion No. 19 on security and defence, and Huu Loi achieve criterion No. 10 on income and criterion No. 11 on multidimensional poverty.
In a recent working session with the provincial People's Committee, the district proposed the province continue to pay attention to and attract investment to the Lac Thinh industrial park to improve infrastructure and production activities; and build concentrated domestic wastewater treatment works.
Creating jobs for labourers in general and young people in particular is currently a focus of the province, with vocational training linked to job creation considered one of the strategic breakthrough solutions.
