Concerned about the local development after reaching the new rural finish line, voter Nguyen Kim Phuong - Hamlet 1, Hung Phu Commune requested National Assembly delegates to recommend the State to have more effective solutions to support farmers.

This voter believes that the current situation of some abandoned fields in the area is an issue that needs attention: "Leaving many fields abandoned is a mistake to the State, because they have been supported with some expenses such as irrigation fees, now not cultivating is a waste of resources. But the low price of rice makes it difficult for farmers to stay with their land, the State needs to have support solutions, pay attention to putting economic models into practice to create conditions for people to increase their income."

Regarding this issue, Chairman of Hung Nguyen District People's Committee Ngo Phu Han said: "We feel sorry to see farmers abandon their fields. The district is also actively directing communes to encourage farmers to work hard. But I affirm that there is no such thing as abandoned fields but still receiving irrigation fee support or any other support. There must be work to get support."
