After 10 years of administrative boundary expansion, Hanoi has made remarkable progress in the agricultural sector, especially in new rural development, improving life conditions of the capital`s farmers.
Hanoi is leading the country in rural development and is setting an example for the nation with 294 of the 386 communes reaching or exceeding the Vietnamese government’s new rural development standards.
According to a report by the city's census office last June, one of the capital’s most famous achievements was the success of reorganizing agricultural assets. The city currently operates 154 large rice fields and 101 organic vegetable farms.
The reorganization of farmland into concentrated and large-scale production is considered as an important step in rural development to take advantage of common infrastructure, machinery and manpower, the report said.
Moreover, 15 livestock production centers were established or relocated from residential areas. 3,941 farms have been registered and reported to the city’ authorities with 101 farms using high-tech solutions and 56 aquaculture areas operating effectively, the report added.
When the city’s rural areas develop, the income of citizens has been steadily increased. The number of poor households in the city fell to a record low at less than 2.5%, the report said.
Deputy Secretary of the Hanoi’s Party Committee Ngo Thi Thanh Hang said that it was a bold and important move, which required a large amount of political will and cooperation between the city’s authorities and its residents.
The city now has to focus on developing quality products, building its own brand and improving incentives and guiding businesses to invest more in agricultural production, Hang added.
The deputy secretary emphasized that Hanoi's objective for the period of 2018-2020 is to keep promoting faster development of rural areas as well as to restructure the agricultural sector to produce and add more value to farm produce.
Hang stressed the need to further streamline and improve the legal process to support farmer communities, especially with the issuance of land-use rights certificates.
The Hanoi Department of Natural resources and Environment has been tasked with overseeing about 30 districts and communes. Five task forces have been sent to local communities to answer questions, collect inquiries and help local authorities handle paperwork. Obtaining land-use right certificates, for many farmers, is a big step in securing financial cooperation from commercial banks to expand their production capacity, Hang added.
However, the city is aware of numerous obstacles that must be resolved. From 2018 to 2020, Hanoi will continue to encourage businesses to make more investments, preferably in hi-tech farming activities, Hang said.
The city is actively directing, with many synchronous and feasible solutions, to focus on the remaining communes that strive to reach new rural standards by 2020 to fulfill the target of over 80% of communes meeting new rural standards under the Hanoi Party Committee's program.
