Currently, the commune has 2,906 production and business establishments, 455 industrial establishments, mainly welding, carpentry, garment making, and traditional crafts.

Thanks to the intervention of the local government, many industries and crafts that seemed to be dying out have revived, contributing to the income of local workers, including the craft of weaving sedge mats. Ms. Tran Thi Trang, owner of Trung Trang workshop, said that the workshop currently produces and sells products such as handbags, backpacks, wallets, and sandals, incorporating meticulous painting and decoration onto the products. As a result, the products have been well-received by the market, and the sedge mat weaving village has become bustling again.

Tourism has also seen significant development. The locality has leveraged the advantages of Dai Mountain (Ngoa Long Son), Tuong Mountain (Lien Hoa Son), Ba Chuc mausoleum, O Ta Soc Lake, and Nui Dai 2 Lake to serve tourists… In addition, people have taken advantage of the hilly terrain to develop fruit tree cultivation combined with sightseeing and experiential services, contributing to creating a highlight for local tourism.
