Taking us to visit the newly built large garment factory in Tan Ky district, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Sinh - General Director of Minh Anh Garment Factory in Nghe An excitedly said: Although the new factory in Tan Ky has just started production, it has attracted 700 workers, including 300 workers from the South. It is both fighting the epidemic and recruiting and producing. With a salary of 6 - 7 million VND/person/month after deducting benefits, it is a new signal for Tan Ky district in economic restructuring.
Last year was an unforgettable year for Nghe An province in general and Tan Ky district in particular, when the Covid-19 epidemic was complicated.

Both the province and the district are concerned with fighting the epidemic, welcoming and ensuring the lives of compatriots returning from the South. It is even more difficult when the epidemic breaks out near the end of the year, Tan Ky has to focus on fighting the epidemic to soon stabilize people's lives.

ComradeBui Thanh Bao - Member of the Provincial Party Executive Committee, Secretary of Tan Ky District Party CommitteeShare: The epidemic broke out in 13 communes out of 22 administrative units in the district while the source of the infection was not yet determined, but with calmness, confidence and proactive handling in accordance with the direction of the Central Government and the province, after only 2 weeks, the entire political system in the district basically controlled the epidemic, the number of cases decreased very quickly. Tan Ky's anti-Covid-19 campaign became an unforgettable lesson, highly appreciated by the province for its effectiveness.

Resources ofTan KyCurrently, it is considered rich and very valuable, including clay for making bricks and tiles, construction sand and gravel, and especially limestone... which will be a breakthrough for the district in the goal of effective exploitation. Currently, many investors have come to survey and invest. Land resources are also extremely large when investors are increasingly looking to invest such as Minh Anh Garment Factory, Unburnt Brick and Tile Factory, Biomass Power Plant worth more than a thousand billion VND; livestock projects in Tan Hop commune, exploiting raw material land for construction brick production in Tan Hop and Dong Van communes... will create new highlights for the locality. In particular, the high-tech medicinal plant growing project of Thien Minh Duc Group, expected to be exploited on the land of the former FLC Group, is also a driving force for the following projects.

In recent years, Tan Ky has effectively promoted Tuynen brick and tile factories, started construction of Trung Do Tan Ky Raw Material Processing Factory in Tan Hop commune; Tan Ky Solid and Liquid Waste Treatment Factory in Tan Long commune...

Sugarcane farmers in Tan Ky welcomed an exciting Tet holiday when sugarcane prices increased to the highest level ever, production was profitable, and the factory consumed all of them while many other crops fell in price. Sugarcane is still an effective crop in the locality with an area of ​​nearly 4,000 hectares. Livestock farming in the area has shifted towards concentration, farm scale according to the value chain, associated with the processing industry. The output of fresh meat for slaughter is estimated at 18,386 tons, an increase of 30.4% compared to 2020. Catholics and non-Catholics are united, donating land to contribute to the construction of new rural areas; in 2021, the district focused on directing 3 communes to reach the new rural area and 1 commune to improve the new rural area.
Regarding infrastructure, Tan Ky has mobilized resources, especially transportation, to prepare for the construction of N5 Tan Ky road connecting Do Luong, investing in a 110kV transformer station to ensure electricity for Tan Ky, not depending on Do Luong and Nghia Dan as before. Some important roads in the area have been allocated investment capital: Phu Son - Nghia Hanh (capital of over 100 billion VND), road 15B parallel to Ho Chi Minh road. Another new hope is that when Tan Ky Garment Factory comes into operation with 6,000 workers, the accompanying trade and services will develop more and more.

By being one step ahead in land use planning to attract investment, build government offices and other projects, Tan Ky will be more proactive in economic development, and that is an important stepping stone for attracting investment. The economy develops, people's lives are improved; culture and education are of good quality; national defense and security are maintained.

Talking about Tan Ky's efforts to make a mark in the past year, especially the implementation of resolutions after the District Party Congress for the 2021-2025 term, District Party Secretary Bui Thanh Bao said: Right from the first 6 months of 2021, all projects and action programs of the term were issued to have time and material for 4 and a half years for all levels to implement.

The project programs that Tan Ky issued this time were concise, focused, had clear highlights, were linked to reality, promoted collective intelligence, then the People's Committees at all levels developed detailed implementation plans, implemented them fully, and followed the plan. Another issue that Tan Ky has done well is to focus on and effectively implement the exemplary role of leaders and managers, especially the leaders, through the effective implementation of the exemplary regulations issued by the Central Government, the province, and the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee.

Innovating leadership style, methods, and working methods according to the motto "close, specific, scientific, effective, clearly defining the roadmap and steps", Tan Ky is proactively and effectively exploiting resources and maximizing support from all levels and sectors to create a new appearance and development momentum, bringing practical benefits to the people.
