From a rural area on the outskirts of Vinh city with many difficulties, the lives of people in Hung Hoa commune depended mainly on agriculture, rice cultivation associated with the craft of weaving mats, with low average income per capita..., up to now, after achieving new rural standards in September 2015, Hung Hoa has really improved.

That breakthrough began with the strong participation of the Party Committee and the Government, economic development policies gradually entered life, arousing the internal strength of the people. When the city approved the National Target Program on New Rural Construction, the Party Committee issued a specialized resolution on new rural construction.

To build new rural areas in the whole commune, people registered to donate 18,394 square meters of land and property to expand village roads and alleys, and shift the economic structure of crops and livestock.

In addition to the cement support mechanism, the people have contributed 9.7 billion VND to build 27 km of concrete roads, 1.2 km of asphalt roads, 3 km of concrete ditches and residential drainage ditches, 3 hamlet cultural houses, 256 km of breakwaters and a number of other works. The total value of basic construction in 5 years (from 2011 to 2015) reached 49 billion VND.

Comrade Tran Van Thi - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Hung Hoa commune said: "Hung Hoa is a locality with a rather low economic starting point, so initially the commune encountered many difficulties in implementing the criteria for new rural areas. However, thanks to the attention of the Party Committee and the superior authorities, the efforts and solidarity of the people, we have created a combined strength, promoted internal strength, overcome difficulties, and brought our homeland to develop more and more".

Hung Hoa is also a pilot unit implementing savings in Vinh city. The commune has launched a campaign for Party cells and Party members of working age with stable income to contribute to support two poor communes, Mai Son and Nhon Mai (Tuong Duong). With savings ranging from 10,000 - 30,000 VND/person/month, in 5 years, the Party Committee of Hung Hoa commune has raised a total of 30.8 million VND.

Along with that, the Women's Union of Hung Hoa commune also carried out the annual economical pig raising movement. As a result, in 5 years, 74.5 million VND was saved, helping 69 poor member families, families in especially difficult circumstances, and single women.
