(HBO) – As one of the 11 communes selected by the provincial authorities to be the models in implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area building in Hoa Binh province, Dong Tam commune of Lac Thuy district has fulfilled the set targets and is among the first communes in Hoa Binh to earn the status of new-style rural area.


There are six farms earning an annual income of between 500 million VND (over 21,400 USD) and 1 billion VND in Dong Tam commune (Lac Thuy district).

The landscape in Dong Tam is changing day to day. Particularly, all roads linking hamlets and villages and half of the roads traversing fields in the commune have been paved with concrete, while five of the nine local reservoirs and dykes have been repaired. That has facilitated daily and production activities of local residents.

The commune currently houses 16 projects with total investment capital of nearly 70 billion VND. They operate in animal husbandry, herbal plant cultivation, forestry product processing, and plastics and package production.

Notably, thanks to the improved public awareness of environmental protection, local people have reached consensus about the building of a waste treatment factory in Dong Phu hamlet, thus facilitating ground clearance for the factory.

Craft industries and services, including construction material production, forestry product processing, food processing, mechanics and transportation, have been encouraged to develop, providing jobs for more than 400 people with an average monthly per capita income of 5 million VND.

At present, 229 households in Dong Tam are joining in a plan on renovating poor-performing gardens with a total area of 223ha. They have invested in family- and large-scaled farms to develop bee keeping, the raising of wild boar and goat and aquatic farming. There are six farms with an annual income of between 500 million VND and 1 billion VND in Dong Tam commune at present.

Additionally, the agricultural restructuring plan has been actively carried out in the direction of forming value chains to improve local farm produce’s added value. A project on safe vegetable production chain is also being implemented on 2ha of field in Tan Tien hamlet. Meanwhile, 10 households of Dong Tam are taking part in a safe chicken farming project, producing 10,000 chickens each batch./.
