Working together to develop the economy.

Cage fish farming provides a stable income for the people of Phu Vang.

Multiple solutions

Currently, Phu Vang commune has 192 poor households and 254 near-poor households; by 2025, this number had decreased by 41 poor households and 48 near-poor households. The poverty rate according to the multidimensional standard decreased to 2.02%, and the near-poverty rate to 2.68%. Behind these poverty reduction figures, many lives have been transformed; leading to more prosperous, happy, and sustainable lives.

To provide a solid foundation for the people's journey to escape poverty, the Party Committee, the People's Committee of Phu Vang commune, and the entire political system have joined forces and implemented many appropriate and practical solutions.

Here and there in the villages, dozens of houses have been repaired or rebuilt with financial support, still smelling of fresh mortar, their walls "dressed" in pristine new paint, bringing joy and a secure place to live for dozens of families, allowing them to focus on their work, livelihoods, and economic development. On faces marked by hardship, smiles of excitement have brightened as two commercial cattle farming models and projects have been supported for the people, with 22 households participating, initially yielding economic benefits and creating stable jobs. With persistent hard work, starting from the initial support of breeding cattle, the number of livestock in each family will be able to grow.

Chairman of the People's Committee of Phu Vang commune, Le Duc Loc, shared that one of the key aspects of the journey towards poverty reduction and sustainable economic development is creating jobs for workers. In 2025, Phu Vang commune created jobs for 691 out of 680 workers, achieving 101.6% of the plan. To date, 287 workers from the commune have gone to work abroad under contract (including 217 graduates from universities, colleges, and vocational schools), mainly in Japan, Poland, and South Korea. With an income of 20 million to over 30 million VND (after deducting living expenses), after a few years of hard work abroad, these people can accumulate hundreds of millions to around 1 billion VND.

With the support of providing breeding cattle, people have been able to expand their herds and develop their economy.

Over the years, in Phu Da town, Vinh Ha commune, and the former Phu Gia commune (now merged into Phu Vang commune), hundreds of young people who went to work abroad each year have returned to their hometowns, making effective contributions to poverty reduction and sustainable economic development. A prime example is Mr. Vo Van To, who, with his accumulated capital, established a tofu production facility.

The local community also accompanied and provided all the necessary conditions and support in Mr. To's entrepreneurial journey, from establishing the production facility to the founding of the DAFUSA Economic Development Cooperative, specializing in the production of clean tofu in Vien Trinh village. The products sold well, laying the groundwork for future investment and development of similar businesses, while simultaneously spreading confidence and motivation to other young people.

To address employment issues for local workers more effectively, Phu Vang commune collaborated with the Regional Center for Vocational Education and Continuing Education (Region 3) to organize two vocational training courses. These included an industrial sewing course with 17 participants and a brackish water fish farming course with 25 participants. Most of the participants came from advantageous backgrounds, such as living near the lagoon and coming from families with a tradition of aquaculture. Learning and acquiring new knowledge and techniques in aquaculture is key to achieving the most successful farming seasons.

The chicken farming model provides a stable income for the people.

Increase people's income.

In its orientations and key tasks for 2026 to achieve sustainable economic development, the Phu Vang commune government has identified a focus on developing industry in a way that enhances added value, as the industrial and construction sectors are dominant and have significant potential for socio-economic development in the locality.

The Phu Da Industrial Park has gradually improved its infrastructure, and to date, six companies have invested in manufacturing plants, providing employment for over 5,000 workers, including approximately 2,000 local workers.

In the coming period, the locality will mobilize maximum resources, increase the occupancy rate of Phu Da Industrial Park, develop industry and handicrafts, and rural occupations to promote economic development, create jobs, and increase income for the people. At the same time, it will strengthen coordination and support for businesses to overcome difficulties and boost production and business activities to increase the value of industrial production in the area.

Locals received loan support from the Phu Vang branch of the Social Policy Bank to develop production.

Another positive sign in the economic development of Phu Vang commune is the expansion and diversification of commercial and service activities. The types of services are increasingly developing and becoming more diverse, concentrated in the central area along Provincial Roads 10C, 10D, 18, and the extended Vo Phi Trang road, contributing to changing the rural landscape. The investment and upgrading of Thanh Lam Bo Market (phase 2) creates favorable conditions for small traders, encouraging the development of retail networks and production and business establishments in residential areas.

Another clear advantage is that the Intellectual Property Office has granted a collective trademark certificate for "Tam Giang Sea Bream - Hue - Lagoon Specialty" in the commune (for the Phu Da and Phu Gia clusters), along with a project involving 14 households granted collective trademarks (1 household granted a trademark for farming and displaying/selling products, and 13 households granted trademarks for farming activities). From here, the government encourages people to build a seafood value chain, trace the origin of products, build product brands, and strengthen links with businesses in processing and consumption.

“One of the main orientations and tasks in the coming period is to develop the economy and organize production, shifting the rural economic structure towards increasing value. Developing cooperatives, cooperative groups and production models along the value chain. Applying science and technology and digital transformation in agriculture, developing OCOP products, creating conditions to support people in accessing preferential loan capital to develop production and business, and increase people's income,” shared Le Duc Loc, Chairman of the People's Committee of Phu Vang commune.
