Nghi Hung: Innovation in thinking in economic development

(Baonghean.vn) -After 10 years of implementing Resolution 13 of the Nghi Loc District Party Committee on "renewing thinking and overcoming conservative and stagnant thinking in economic development", Nghi Hung's economy has changed a lot.

After Resolution 13 on "renewing thinking, overcoming conservative and stagnant thinking in economic development" was issued by Nghi Loc District Party Committee, the Standing Committee of Nghi Hung Party Committee organized to disseminate this resolution within the Party Committee and extended it to mass organizations.

When assigned tasks, mass organizations clearly saw their responsibility in propaganda, mobilization as well as promptly removing ideological obstacles of union members when implementing economic development.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hanh's farm in hamlet 10 Nghi Hung raises 10,000 laying and meat ducks, earning over 200 million VND a year.

In Nghi Hung in the past, in agricultural production, a large number of farmers still had the habit of producing with familiar old rice varieties. When the commune had a policy of introducing new varieties into production, many people were hesitant.

Understanding that, the Party Committee assigned organizations such as farmers, women, veterans, and youth unions to propagate to their members and union members the superiority of the new rice variety. At the same time, it directed the Commune People's Committee to build demonstration models so that people could see the economic efficiency from the reality in the fields. Along with the issuance of accompanying support mechanisms, up to now, high-quality, high-yield rice varieties have dominated the fields, bringing the commune's mass rice yield to 67 quintals/ha.

With the development of crop production, Nghi Hung has a surplus of nearly 3,000 tons of food each year. This surplus has created conditions for the commune to establish farms to develop livestock farming. Currently, the whole Nghi Hung commune has 26 comprehensive livestock farms, of which 6 farms meet the criteria according to Circular 27 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. By 2015, income from livestock farming accounted for 54% of the commune's agricultural income.

Asphalt and concrete road systems have covered the commune.

Not only agricultural production, in recent years, Nghi Hung has also had a new shift in the economy of small-scale industry and services. The two broom-weaving craft villages of Xuan Son and Khe Cu have been raised by the locality in both scale and labor organization. Every year, the people of the two villages have purchased hundreds of tons of raw materials, produced tens of thousands of products, bringing in hundreds of millions of dong in income.

Thanks to the gradual shift in crop and livestock structure and economic structure, over the past 10 years, many economic indicators of Nghi Hung have exceeded the set plan. In particular, the average income per capita in 2015 reached 22.6 million VND, an increase of 4.3 times compared to 2005. Up to now, the commune has 14/19 criteria meeting the NTM standards.

Comrade Nguyen Dinh Hoang - Party Secretary, Chairman of Nghi Hung Commune People's Council said: "When implementing the resolution, the Party Committee has clarified: conservatism and stagnation are the main causes of slow economic development in the locality. In addition to the general plan of the Party Committee to implement Resolution 13 of Nghi Loc District Party Committee, the Party Committee's Standing Committee requires each organization to develop its own plan; in which it goes into depth and clarifies the existing weaknesses, causes and solutions to develop the organization's economy. Those experiences in the innovation process will be promoted by Nghi Hung to develop the socio-economy, striving to achieve the standard of a new-style rural commune by 2017".
