Long Hoa is changing

As a poor agricultural locality, Long Hoa commune in Dau Tieng district has strongly changed and is striving to become a fifth-class urban area of the district.

Long Hoa commune today has made a lot of changes with spacious streets and infrastructure works built in a synchronous way at demands of locals as well as the local socio-economic development.

Nguyen Thi Minh Tan’s mushroom farm, one of effective models, contributes to generating jobs for laborers in Dau Tieng district’s Long Hoa commune

Nguyen Thanh Tung, Secretary of Long Hoa communal Party Committee, Chairman of the communal People’s Committee said that the local Party and government have made the shift of plant and animal structure, thereby helping quickly improving the lives of locals.

Whilst, Nguyen Duc Dung, Chairman of Long Hoa communal Farmers Association said that the rural image of the commune has got thriving only in recent years. Despite the plunge of rubber latex price, the lives of locals have been improved a lot, thanks to their efforts in the shift of plant and animal structure plus the attention and support of the local government.

The average income of locals is now more than VND31million per person per year. Especially, the proportion of trade-services has reached an increase in the local economic structure, contributing to promoting the local socio-economic development.

Thanks to their flexibility and diligence, many locals have step by step risen up in life. Nguyen Thi Thanh Hong, the owner of a grocery store in the central area of the commune said that grasping demands for socio-economic development in recent years, she has bravely changed to business doing, instead of focusing on agricultural development. As a result, this business has helped her family have a stable life and get rich.

Or, Nguyen Thi Minh Tan is also well-known as the “king of oyster mushroom” in Long Hoa commune. Her mushroom farm has to date become one of Dau Tieng district’s effective models.  Products from her mushroom farm are now present across provinces and cities in the region. This is also a place supplying mushroom embryos for the whole country…

Not only taking fruits in production-businesses, Mrs.Tan is very exemplary and is also a reliable mainstay of poor laborers. Although taking light and easy jobs, laborers in her mushroom have enjoyed the average income of VND7million-VND10million per person per month.

Apart from Mrs.Tan’s mushroom farm, the commune now has more than 30 farms on animal husbandry, contributing to promoting the local economy. Mr.Tung added that upholding achievements done in the tenure, the commune’s Party, government and people have continued enhancing the quality of criteria of the new-style rural program; strived to gain the annual growth of 7%-8% and the average income of locals of VND40million per person per year…
