HBO – Over the past time, Luong Son district in the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh has stepped up agricultural restructuring in combination with new rural area building.
Farmers in Quyen Chua hamlet, Cao Duong commune, Luong Son district, improve
their income thanks breeding cows for beef.The
project on agricultural restructuring towards higher added values and
sustainable development in Luong Son district by 2020 aims to develop local
agriculture towards mass production with higher productivity, quality and
competitiveness, contributing to improving local people’s living standards,
reducing poverty rate and protecting the environment.
The district’s gross regional domestic product (GRDP) is expected to grow 2.02
percent annually while annual average income per capital in rural areas is set
at over 50 million VND. More than half of communes in the districts are hoped
to fulfil 19 criteria of a new rural area by 2020.
Luong Son has instructed the agricultural and rural area sector to join hand
with relevant ministries and agencies in agricultural restructuring in line
with the district’s socio-economic development strategy and planning, and in
combination with sustainable new rural area building.
The agricultural restructuring must be carried out in accordance with the
market mechanism, while helping ensure basic targets of social welfare for
farmers and consumers, and improve production quality and efficiency.
Mr Nguyen Anh Duc, head of the district’s bureau of agriculture and rural
development, said agricultural restructuring is an important, long-term task
that is closely linked with the national target programme on new rural area
building.
To gain better results, the district has paid attention to developing
collective economic models, forming production and consumption chains, stepping
up scientific-technological application and mechanising production.
As a result, it now has ten new rural communes. Thanks to changed plant
structure and production chains, the district’s income per capita has reached
31 million VND each year and the poverty rate dropped to 1.91 percent.
