Mr. Hung said that according to Decree 17, fishing vessels with a total main engine capacity of 1,000 CV or more, the ship owner is supported with 35% of the investment value of new construction but not exceeding 8 billion VND/ship. Thus, these 3 vessels are supported with a total of 24 billion VND, but up to now, about 1 year has not been supported, while the above households have to borrow from commercial banks to build the vessels, leading to the risk of being foreclosed by the bank. Therefore, he requested clarification on the implementation of the support policy.
Also at the conference, voter Nguyen Van Thao, Quynh Loc commune, said that in the town, there is currently Hoang Mai Industrial Park with a clean site, but there are no investors, while some investment projects in the area are located outside the industrial park, affecting the production land of the people. Therefore, this voter suggested that the project should be converted and attracted to the industrial park.

Voter Thao also suggested that some policies on poverty reduction should be changed. Because the current policies to support the poor, besides positive aspects, also have limitations, even creating inertia and dependence on the poor. According to him, policies to support the poor should be binding, avoiding giving them away for free.
Voters also made many recommendations related to the implementation of policies, compensation for site clearance, and power grids in the area...
