(Baonghean.vn) - Bai Dop area, Giang Son hot mineral spring, Nghe An Social Protection Center and Dien grapefruit growing model in Giang Son Dong commune are the destinations that the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee visited on the morning of August 18.

On August 18, Comrade Nguyen Xuan Duong - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee visited and worked in Do Luong district. Accompanying him were representatives of the Departments of Transport, Agriculture and Rural Development, Finance, Planning and Investment and the Office of the Provincial People's Committee.

On the side of Do Luong district, there were comrades Truong Hong Phuc - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the District Party Committee Ngoc Kim Nam - Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of the District People's Committee and leaders of district-level departments and branches.

Bai Dop in Dai Son commune, Do Luong district is the first destination in the working trip of the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee visited the 150-hectare Dop field in Dai Son commune, which specializes in growing high-yielding crops such as peanuts, corn, and cassava. However, due to the nature of sandy, infertile soil and especially the lack of water resources, the average yield of crops is low.

Realizing that this is an area with potential for growing many types of crops, Do Luong district is proposing a plan to renovate by planning to consolidate land plots, invest in electricity and irrigation systems to effectively promote this area.

The delegation inspected the N5 route connecting Hoa Son commune (Do Luong) to Nghi Thiet (Nghi Loc) to serve the transportation of raw materials for Nghi Thiet Cement Grinding Plant. Currently, the route has basically completed the site clearance and the units are urgently completing the set progress.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee directly surveyed the Giang Son hot mineral spring area.

Next, the delegation inspected the hot mineral spring located in Mo Da dam, Giang Son Tay commune, located close to National Highway 15A, 14 km from Do Luong town, convenient for organizing tours in the province.

With an area of ​​50 hectares and a planning area of ​​250 hectares, this hot mineral spring can become an important highlight in the Vinh - Kim Lien Relic Site - Do Luong - Tan Ky Milestone 0 - and Pu Mat Community Ecotourism tourist route.

The temperature of the water at Giang Son hot spring is up to about 60 degrees Celsius. According to local people, this water source can cure some skin diseases and is good for health.

However, up to now, after nearly 14 years of receiving the project, Ha An Company has not yet implemented any items causing waste. Do Luong District is proposing that the Provincial People's Committee revoke this project to attract other investors with the ability to implement it.

Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Xuan Duong directly inspected the preparation of meals for beneficiaries at the Nghe An Social Protection Center.

During this visit, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee visited the Nghe An Provincial Social Protection Center in Giang Son Dong Commune. The Center is currently nurturing and caring for 117 social beneficiaries, including 68 with chronic mental illness, many of whom are in need of special care.

Mr. Dao Duy Bay's family has been growing Dien grapefruit for 9 years and has been harvesting for 4 years. His family's Dien grapefruit is sold from the 15th of November onwards and is mainly used for Lunar New Year.

Late this morning, the comrade and the delegation visited the Dien grapefruit growing model of Mr. Dao Duy Bay's family in Giang Son Dong commune. Currently, his family has 1,000 grapefruit trees, of which 400 have been harvested.

Mr. Bay said that on average each tree produces 50 fruits, with an average selling price of 35,000 VND/fruit, estimated to bring his family an annual income of more than 600 million VND. "In the provincial market, our grapefruits are sold out as soon as they ripen and are very expensive during Tet. The advantage of this grapefruit variety is that it can be stored for a long time because the more withered the fruit is, the sweeter it is," Mr. Bay happily shared with the Chairman. With the economic benefits, after consulting with the agricultural extension agency, his family is planning to continue expanding the area, growing more PQ1 tangerines and growing mushrooms.

Seeing the benefits of Dien grapefruit, many households in Giang Son Dong commune have started growing this grapefruit variety.

This afternoon, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Xuan Duong will have a working session with leaders of Do Luong district to discuss a number of solutions for socio-economic development of the district in the coming time.
