As a low-lying commune, annually affected by natural disasters and floods, Hung Loi has a low starting point. Determining that building a new rural area must first mobilize internal resources from the people, the state only provides partial support, the Party Committee and the government focus on promoting propaganda and mobilizing people to join hands in building a new rural area.

In the 5 years from 2011 to 2016, Hung Loi mobilized 82,885 billion VND to invest in building new rural areas, in which people contributed more than 49,550 billion VND and tens of thousands of working days to dig and upgrade the traffic and irrigation systems, improve fields and environmental sanitation, and build cultural facilities for schools...
