Developing raw material transportation

(Baonghean.vn) - The strength of Thanh Chuong mountainous district is still agriculture, so the construction of raw material roads is of local concern.

For many years now, every harvest season, not only Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hoa's family but also nearly 100 households in Thuong Lam village, Thanh An commune, Thanh Chuong district have to walk for kilometers to carry each bag of products to the street to wait for trucks to come and buy because there is no road to go in. According to the current price, 100 kg of fresh tea buds costs 350 thousand VND, if not doing so, the market price will be reduced by 40% to deduct transportation costs.

Also living on the hills, for more than 3 years now, 15 hectares of hilly land of Mr. Pham Van Viet's family in Hamlet 15, Thanh An Commune still has no access road. Realizing the importance of having a road, although life is facing many difficulties, he had to borrow and spend over 100 million VND to open a road to his family's plot.

According to Mr. Viet, if he spends 100 million VND now, he will earn over 1 billion VND in 5 years thanks to the development of raw materials and fruit trees such as acacia, tea and Dien grapefruit. To have a road, he had to sell 2 buffaloes and borrow another 60 million VND from the bank to open the road.

People of Thuong Lam village, Thanh An commune, Thanh Chuong join hands to contribute to opening the raw material route.

As one of the localities located at the end of Thanh Chuong district, Thanh Lam commune has a large total natural land area of ​​over 3,781 hectares. Of which, there are over 1,500 hectares of forestry land and 1,000 hectares of cassava raw materials. However, economic development here is still facing many difficulties due to inconvenient traffic routes. Therefore, the Resolution of the Party Congress of the commune for many terms has been set out but has not been implemented, which is to open, upgrade and repair the raw material route to the economic zones in the commune. In particular, special attention is paid to the Doi Thong - Cau Kho route, nearly 7km long. This is an important route, as well as a raw material route and a flood avoidance route for the locality.

Thanh Chuong has a large natural land area, mountainous land accounts for more than 1/3 of the total natural land area. Of which, there are 4,500 hectares of industrial tea, over 20,000 hectares of raw acacia.

From a four-lane district, Thanh Chuong now has over 500 km of asphalt and concrete roads. It has been investing in renovating many raw material routes connecting from Provincial Road 533 and the Ho Chi Minh Trail to the regions...

Many raw material routes have been invested and renovated by Thanh Chuong district.

Thanks to the newly opened roads, people in hamlets 11, 12, and 13 of Thanh Huong commune, Thanh Chuong district, have had much easier business.
