Recognising Co To island district as a new-style rural area
The Prime Minister has recently signed the decision to recognise Co To island district in northern Quang Ninh province as a new-style rural area.
Accordingly, the province has had two new-style rural recognised areas.
Located in the east of Quang Ninh province, 100 km off the mainland eastward to the Gulf of Tonkin, Co To island district includes 50 large and small islands.
The district has two communes and one township with 100% of roads linking the communes and villages cemented. As many as 73% of local households are provided clean water.
The district’s average per capita income reached 45 million VND in 2014 and annual average growth rate gained 14% during 2011-2014.
The locality’s poverty rate at present stands at only 0.49%.
Infrastructure development was the outstanding achievement of the national new-style rural development programme, according to Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Up to 75% of rural area budgets and a majority of financial contributions by the public have gone into infrastructure projects under the programme after five years of implementing the programme.
Most of the participating localities devised their own unique commodity production development plans, and 22,500 agro-forestry-fishery production models are now active nationwide.
Rural localities around Ha Noi, Ha Nam, Nam Dinh, Ninh Binh and Thanh Hoa successfully redesigned their transport and irrigation systems to pave the way for further mechanisation of farm work.
About 2,500 large-scale field models were set up in 43 provinces, covering 556,000 hectares, and many production chain models were formed in husbandry, aquaculture and forestry industries.
Nearly 1.300 communes (14.5 per cent) and 11 districts nationwide are recognised as new-style rural areas to date, the ministry said.
For the new 2015-2020 targets, half of the communes nationwide are expected to meet all the requirements, and each province and centrally-run city should have at least one district recognised as new-style rural area. No communes should fulfill fewer than five criteria in the next period.
