After nearly 10 years of implementing the National Target Program on New-style Rural Area Building, Tuy Phuoc has applied many dynamic and creative ways of doing things that are suitable to the current conditions of the locality, thus gaining positive achievements.
The average annual economic growth rate reaches 9.2 percent; per capita income is 45.8 million VND (2,013 USD) per year, an increase of 2.4 times compared to that in 2011; and the rate of poor households is 1.92 percent, down 7.92 percent from 2011. All main roads in communes and connecting communes have been asphalted or concreted. The rate of trained workers is 48.6 percent. All households use hygienic water, in which, those with access to clean water in accordance with national standards is 74.1 percent.
Speaking at the event, President Phuc congratulated the administration and people of Binh Dinh for having 84 out of 113 communes meeting new-style rural building criteria, higher than the national average.
He noted that building new rural areas is necessary with the highest goal of improving the material and spiritual lives and income of farmers.
The State leader asked Tuy Phuoc to boost modernization in terms of science and technology, have more clean products, and pay more attention to developing a socialist-oriented market economy, promoting the role of the household and the multi-sector economy, especially the private economy.
Tuy Phuoc must become a model and advanced new-style rural district of Viet Nam, he said, asking Binh Dinh province and Tuy Phuoc district to take suitable steps to maintain the living environment for local residents.
