baophutho.vnIn a story with us about implementing the National Target Program on Poverty Reduction, Mr. Vu Khac Khuong - Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Quang Yen commune, Thanh Ba district excitedly said: Before merging the three communes Quang Nap, Thai Ninh, and Nang Yen as only one new administrative unit of Quang Yen commune, all three communes have a high rate of poor households in the district. In early 2020, when the new administrative unit came into operation, the commune’s poverty rate accounted for 14.3%, by the end of 2020, and the poverty rate decreased to 6.6%. From 2020 until now, the commune has reduced 8.8% of poor households, and currently the commune’s poverty rate is 5.5%.
Every year, the Party Committee and authorities of the commune lead the people to focus on developing agricultural and forestry production, introducing high-yield rice varieties and applying science and technology to production, so the average rice yield reaches over 53 tons/ ha, guaranteeing the food supply. The commune encourages people to exploit and use forest land effectively by gradually converting areas planted with eucalyptus trees and trees with low economic value to planting trees with high economic value, and building agricultural and forestry production models such as the models of growing fruit trees combined with raising free-range chickens, linking the production of forestry tree varieties and indigenous trees, and converting large timber forests. Thanks to the restructuring of crops and livestock, many poor households in the commune have escaped from poverty.
Not only focusing on developing livestock and crop farming models, many poor and near-poor households in the commune were supported with loans from the district Bank for Social Policies and have boldly invested in handicraft production to escape from poverty, creating jobs for many local workers.
Under the direction of the commune government and the bold investment of the people, currently in the commune there are 20 households processing dried tea, one household producing palm blinds, four households processing Apricot and Chinese Foldwing leaves for export, 39 carpentry households and a packaging sewing facility, creating jobs for several hundred local workers. In addition, TN Wood Processing Company and Goodfaith Leather Shoe Manufacturing Company, have created jobs for 1,500 local workers with an average income of VND 6-8 million/ person/ month.
To improve the quality of life and reduce the poverty rate to the lowest level, the commune continues to mobilize and encourage people to change their crop and livestock structure, taking advantage of local advantages to develop handicraft industry, commerce and services. Currently, various types of services in the commune are developing, focusing on processing, purchasing forest products and producing forestry seedlings. The whole commune has 77 vehicles operating in the field of freight transport.
Mr. Vu Khac Khuong - Chairman of the Commune People’s Committee further informed: The commune creates conditions for businesses and individuals to establish and develop companies, thereby creating jobs for the workforce in the commune. In addition, the commune continues to direct the implementation of the project to restructure the agricultural sector in the direction of improving product value, sustainable development, and mobilizing people to bring rice varieties with high economic value into mass production; Calling for and encouraging businesses to invest in agricultural production, strengthening links between businesses, cooperatives and households to organize large-scale and high-tech production, promoting linkages between businesses and farmers in production and consumption of products.
