Many localities in the province are making efforts to fulfill advanced new rural construction criteria enhanced, towards model rural areas. In Phu Giao district, completing the goal of building advanced new-style rural areas has been identified as one of the key tasks in 2023.

Follow closely the new criteria

Phu Giao district currently has 100% communes as new-style rural areas, of which 7 communes reached the goal of advanced new rural areas. With high determination, three communes of Phuoc Hoa, An Binh and Tam Lap (which have not yet reached the advanced criteria) are speeding up the progress of construction investment to complete the missing infrastructure, and soon meet the criteria to be recognized as an advanced new-style rural commune this year.

Guava products of Thanh Kien Guai Cooperative are OCOP products of Phuoc Hoa commune.

In 2022, the implementation of the national target program on advanced new rural construction in the three above communes was implemented synchronously and gained good results. For example, in Phuoc Hoa commune, by September 2022, 18/19 criteria were achieved. However, according to the new regulations in Decision No. 2459/QD-UBND on the set of advanced new rural construction criteria, issued by Binh Duong Provincial People's Committee on October 3rd, 2022, many criteria fulfilled by the three communes are no longer suitable. After re-evaluation, Phuoc Hoa commune only met 10/19 criteria; An Binh commune met 10/19 criteria; Tam Lap commune met 11/19 criteria according to the new set of criteria.

According to the advanced new rural construction criteria, commune, hamlet and inter-hamlet roads must have necessary items, according to regulations, of signs, signposts, speeding time...; average income must reach 80 million VND/person/year; have an effective model of rural economic development by integrating multiple economic, cultural and environmental values; percentage of households that classify solid waste at source... Meanwhile, due to the common difficulties of the economy, the price of gasoline, oil, materials, and agricultural products fluctuated, affecting production and business activities; thereby affecting people's lives, investment capital in welfare works such as electricity, roads, cultural houses, markets...

In addition, the commune directs, administers, monitors hamlets to follow the advanced new rural development criteria to develop contents assisting each specific criterion; strives to achieve 19 criteria, 75 targets according to provisions of the advanced new rural construction criteria set.
