Mr. Nguyen Khac Khang, the commune's new rural construction officer, said: Quynh Ba has National Highway 48B and Provincial Road 537B passing through, convenient for exchange, trade services, and travel between the communes in the coastal areas and the district center, creating conditions for many households to trade and develop handicrafts for high income. The handicraft carpentry, mechanical, welding, aluminum and glass production... produce a variety of products, serving the production and construction needs of people inside and outside the commune. Many businesses providing grocery services, animal feed, and restaurants are also appearing more and more, creating jobs for hundreds of local workers.

Currently, the locality has 12 farms raising ducks and chickens, specializing in producing breeding animals to supply markets inside and outside the district. Therefore, in addition to income from rice cultivation, people here also have high income from raising livestock.
Mr. Nguyen Khac Khang enthusiastically led us to visit Mr. Phan Van Thang's duck farm in hamlet 2. This is the largest duck farm in Quynh Ba area at present. Through the dike, we entered the duck farm area of Mr. Thang's family. In front of us were 2 pond systems combining duck farming and fish farming, in the row of level 4 houses were 8 egg incubators, some workers were actively stacking and turning eggs.
Mr. Thang said that the farm currently has 4,000 laying ducks, each day the farm sells nearly 1,000 ducklings and hundreds of duck eggs to the market, creating regular jobs for 3 workers. In addition to the main income from raising ducklings, Mr. Thang also takes advantage of the pond system to raise fish, each year also has a good income. Mr. Nguyen Xuan Chung's household, in Hamlet 1, is known by many people for his chicken and duck farm. Investing hundreds of millions of dong to build barns and install cooling systems, provide drinking water, food... Mr. Trung's chicken and duck flock always maintains around 2,000, producing tens of thousands of chicken and duck breeds each month, creating jobs for family members.

Mr. Nguyen Van Linh - Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Ba Commune, excitedly said: The movement "Quynh Ba joins hands to build a new rural area" has a wide influence, creating a strong driving force for the process of implementing the goals. The way the commune does is to direct decisively and specifically in the roadmap for building a new rural area; assign tasks to each department, branch, and function of which department or branch must focus on directing, regularly reporting results and problems that need to be resolved to the Party Committee and the commune government.
Since then, rural infrastructure has changed rapidly, with investments in transportation, irrigation, electricity, schools, medical stations, etc. on a solid roadmap. Cultural institutions at the grassroots level have been strengthened, traditional culture has been restored, the appearance of the countryside has changed, people from all walks of life have agreed, contributed labor, money, donated land, etc., and voluntarily dismantled constructions to build the new rural areas.
Over the past 6 years, with the spirit of solidarity, proactive creativity, overcoming all difficulties and challenges of the collective cadres, party members and people of the commune, with the help of the District Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee, and superior departments and organizations, Quynh Ba has achieved many results in many aspects: Ensuring scientific nature in the overall planning of socio-economic development of the locality at present and in the future.

Essential infrastructures such as markets, transportation, irrigation, education, healthcare, and cultural facilities are being built more and more spaciously and completely. Environmental sanitation is more concerned by each citizen, becoming greener and cleaner. The face of the countryside has changed significantly, and people's lives have been improved both materially and spiritually. Political security, social order and safety are stable, and social evils are pushed back. People are happy and excited to compete to build a new life that is increasingly beautiful and civilized.
For Quynh Ba to achieve the standard of a new rural commune, the lesson that the locality has learned after 6 years of implementation is the synchronous participation of the entire local political system from commune to village and the consensus and support of all the people.
