After 15 years of implementing the National Target Program on New Rural Development, Nghe An has achieved many important achievements. Rural infrastructure is increasingly spacious, people's lives have improved significantly, and the appearance of the countryside has changed dramatically.
Implementing the National Target Program on New Rural Development, after nearly 15 years of implementation (from 2010 to September 2025), Nghe An province has achieved many important and proud results. From the plains to the mountains, from the coastal areas to the midlands, everywhere has marked changes: Houses have been invested in, the landscape is brighter - greener - cleaner - more beautiful, the material and spiritual life of the people is increasingly improved, creating a new look for the prosperous, civilized and unique countryside.

A typical example is the Trung Cuu hamlet cultural house (Kim Lien commune) with an investment of more than 3 billion VND, of which the commune budget supported 1 billion VND, the rest was contributed by the people and mobilized from social resources.

In recent years, Nghe An has attracted businesses to the area, while also encouraging the development of small-scale handicrafts.

Up to now, the province has had 743 OCOP products with 3 stars or more, including 37 4-star products and 1 5-star product.

This approach not only helps products reach more customers, but also enhances brand value, creates stable output, and contributes to promoting rural economic development in the new period.
