Upholding the goal of soon bringing the remaining communes to the new enhanced rural standards, from the beginning of 2022, Dau Tieng district has implemented many action plans with high determination.

Sustainable agricultural foundation
With its available potentials and advantages, Dau Tieng district in recent years has been implementing many action plans with the goal of successfully implementing agricultural restructuring at the soonest. By promoting propaganda, advocacy and always accompanying people in researching, learning and applying effective agricultural economic models, it has gradually replaced traditional agricultural economic models of the existing, outdated and inefficient systems.
Mr. Tran Quang Tuyen, Deputy Chairman of Dau Tieng district People's Committee, said that in the coming time, the district will continue to direct departments and localities to continue propagating, mobilizing and supporting businesses and people to access social networks, high-tech agricultural production lines and low-interest investment capital resources. The district's goal is that in the period of 2021-2025, it will significantly reduce the traditional, outdated and low-productive agricultural economic models and replace them with higher income livestock and crop farms thanks to the application of high-income farmers with applied science and technology to farming. In a further vision, Dau Tieng district expects that by 2030, the face of the agriculture, rural areas and farmers of the locality will be raised to a new height.
Along with efforts to restructure agriculture, Dau Tieng district has, in the past time, also been quite enthusiastic with projects to build and develop eco-tourism areas associated with specialty fruit orchards along the Saigon River. The actual visit of us showed that, the total area of specialty fruit trees in the district has increased significantly compared to the time of 2016. Inversely proportional to this figure is a significant decrease in the planted rubber and inefficient agricultural farming models. By the reality, it can be affirmed that in the near future, the agricultural product brand of Dau Tieng district with many names such as Thanh Tuyen mangosteen, Minh Hoa orange-grapefruit, Long Hoa bird's nest etc. will stand firm on the market.
To balance economic structure
Currently, Dau Tieng district is promoting agricultural restructuring, planning, developing key industrial zones and clusters and forming livable urban areas with synchronous infrastructure, developed trade and service. Right from the beginning of the term, the district Party Committee and the People's Committee of Dau Tieng District have implemented many implementation plans in phases and annual distribution.
Mr. Nguyen Phuong Linh, Chairman of Dau Tieng district People's Committee, said that the locality has completed the planning of industrial parks and clusters in the area and submitted it to the province for consideration. According to the plan, in the coming time, the district will plan about 8,000 hectares of rubber plantation land to be used as key industrial parks and clusters of rubber, wood, and animal processing distributed in the communes and towns. Depending on the key strengths of each locality, the district will have appropriate and harmonious planning directions for industrial parks and clusters.
Along with the plan to develop industrial parks and clusters, Dau Tieng district has also taken into consideration the problem of housing for low-income workers. Specifically, out of 8,000 hectares that the district has planned to develop industrial parks and clusters, about 1,000 hectares will be used for the purpose of developing infrastructure and housing for workers. In order to ensure that workers can access, buy and own cheap houses to feel secure to live and work in their hometown of Dau Tieng, local leaders will also carefully consider the plan to choose the owner investment, construction unit and method of opening and selling at suitable prices.
Although it is a locality with a large area of agricultural cultivation, it is undeniable that the pace of urbanization in Dau Tieng district in recent years has increased quite rapidly. Besides the existing urban area, many residential clusters synchronously and spaciously planned currently in communes of Thanh Tuyen, Long Hoa, Minh Hoa of Dau Tieng are also developing quite fast. Talking to us, the leader of Dau Tieng district said that the locality has completed the project of establishing Thanh Tuyen town on the basis of the current Thanh Tuyen commune and has submitted the proposal to the province for consideration. After Thanh Tuyen, in 2021-2025, the district will continue to strive for urban upgrading for Dau Tieng town, and at the same time, develop a project to establish Long Hoa and Minh Hoa towns. And further in 2026-2030 the district will also accelerate the urbanization of An Lap and Thanh An communes so that these two localities are qualified to build a township establishment project.
Although the current situation in localities is still hard, but with the high determination of the political system and the companionship of the business community and the joint effort of the whole public, it is believed that in the future there will be no problems. In the future, Dau Tieng will be civilized, modern, and comprehensively developed in terms of socio-economic status.
