Delegate Le Quoc Hong - Head of the Vinh City Party Committee's Mass Mobilization Committee said that up to now, 9/9 communes have been recognized as new rural communes and Vinh City has been awarded a certificate of recognition by the Government for meeting the new rural criteria.

"However, after being recognized as a new rural commune, the communes have almost "laid still". Meanwhile, there are some communes that still "owe" the criteria, some criteria are not sustainable and need to continue to be built. If after 5 years of re-evaluation, the communes do not meet the criteria, their title of new rural commune will be revoked. It is recommended that the city pay attention to and direct this issue," Mr. Hong suggested.

Regarding the issue of agriculture and rural areas, Mr. Hong said that although Vinh City's agriculture accounts for a small proportion, only 25%, agriculture plays a very important role, not only providing income for farmers but also serving the development of tourism, ecology and environmental protection.

Vinh City has issued a project to develop agriculture in the suburban areas. The City People's Council has issued policies and mechanisms to encourage agricultural development. At the same time, the city has built a number of agricultural economic models such as the ecological agricultural model in Hung Hoa commune, behind the canal in Nghi Lien commune, etc.

According to Mr. Hong, Vinh City has the best conditions, especially in the suburbs, to develop agriculture but has not yet taken advantage of this advantage. He suggested that attention should be paid to continuing to replicate agricultural economic models.

Agreeing with the viewpoint on the situation of building new rural areas in communes, Mr. Le Van Thuong - Party Secretary, Chairman of Hung Hoa commune said: Localities have focused on building communes that meet new rural standards, so mobilizing people's contributions is very difficult.

Mr. Thuong proposed a solution to request the Steering Committee for New Rural Development in Vinh City to review localities that still owe criteria and have specific solutions for localities.

Regarding this content, Ms. Nguyen Thi Dieu Linh - Deputy Head of the Economic - Social Committee, Vinh City People's Council reflected: If we let farmers produce on a small scale, fragmented basis, there cannot be investment in science and technology as well as proper production processes to ensure and control the issue of cleanliness, but there needs to be investment from businesses.

Speaking to explain, Mr. Nguyen Hoai An - Chairman of Vinh City People's Committee affirmed that the city is interested in investing in agricultural development in suburban areas. The construction of clean vegetable models if left to small-scale farmers will not be possible, but land must be accumulated, the city will have a mechanism to attract businesses to invest in this field to develop production, create product brands and consume products for farmers.

Regarding the issue of building new rural areas, according to Mr. An, the city and communes have plans to build debt-free criteria, while ensuring that the construction of criteria must be sustainable.
