During our journey back to the revolutionary countryside, from the lowland villages of Cang Muong, Hom Loi, Ban Den, Ban Nam, to the highland villages of Sam Ta and It Ho, we clearly felt the vibrant atmosphere of welcoming the new spring and heard many stories about the effective transformation of crop and livestock structures; the concentration of all resources to invest in infrastructure development and economic models; and the involvement of Party committees and authorities in helping people apply high-tech science and technology to production… creating more motivation for the people to rise out of poverty.
With the arrival of spring, the people of Nam village, Muong Chanh commune, share a common joy regarding the results of agricultural production. Mr. Cam Van Thoa, Party Secretary and Village Head, reported: With 62 hectares of coffee, the last harvest yielded 650 tons, with an average selling price of 23,000 to 29,000 VND/kg; livestock farming is developing towards commercial production, with 300 head of cattle and 1,300 head of poultry; 10 households are developing a model of raising 1,200 bamboo rats. The average per capita income is 48 million VND/year; only 2 households remain poor in the village.
Following the clean, well-maintained concrete road, we continued to Cang Muong village to visit the coffee plantation of Mr. Lo Manh Quyet's family. The entire area utilizes an automatic irrigation system. Mr. Quyet shared: "Our 4-hectare coffee plantation was established in 2014. In 2019, my family invested over 100 million VND in installing an automatic irrigation system, which doubled our yield to over 80 tons of fresh coffee per year. In the last harvest alone, the coffee crop was bountiful and prices were good, resulting in a profit of 1.2 billion VND after deducting expenses."
After the merger, Muong Chanh commune now encompasses the areas of the two former communes of Muong Chanh and Chieng Chung. Mr. Nguyen Bien Cuong, Chairman of the Commune People's Committee, stated: With the expanded boundaries, the commune is orienting towards two economic zones. The first zone, comprising 13 villages with flat terrain, will focus on developing small-scale industries, trade and services, transportation; fruit tree cultivation, coffee cultivation, and concentrated rice cultivation using high-tech and organic methods, linked to the production, processing, consumption, and export chain. The second zone, with 4 villages further from the center, will focus on hybrid corn cultivation; commercial livestock farming; and forest planting and protection. Simultaneously, the commune is effectively implementing policies to support and encourage the establishment of cooperatives, developing production according to VietGAP, organic, and traceability standards, and building OCOP products.
Taking advantage of favorable natural conditions, the commune's agricultural production has achieved significant results in recent years. The people have actively intensified cultivation, increased crop yields, and introduced new high-yield varieties, enhancing the value of key products. Currently, the people maintain over 1,300 hectares of coffee, nearly 330 hectares of high-tech coffee; intensively cultivate 421 hectares of wet rice; nearly 200 hectares of fruit trees; and 145 hectares of corn and cassava. Livestock farming has expanded to nearly 3,000 head of cattle and over 40,000 head of poultry. By 2025, the total value of products in the commune is expected to reach 96.2 billion VND, an increase of 5.8% compared to the same period in 2024; of which, agriculture will account for 95%; and trade and services 5%. Education and healthcare are ensured, with 100% of children attending school, the commune meeting national health standards, and over 85% of the population participating in health insurance. Significant results have been achieved in poverty reduction efforts; by 2025, the poverty rate in the commune is expected to decrease to 4.72%.
To create a joyful and enthusiastic atmosphere for the Lunar New Year, the commune organized the "Welcome to the Spring of the Year of the Horse - Proud of Muong Chanh" program, with many special activities such as: women's football, tug-of-war, and pickleball competitions; display and introduction of agricultural products, OCOP products, and local specialties; demonstration and experience of traditional pottery making by the Thai ethnic people of Muong Chanh; and family reunion during Tet... The cheers, the bamboo pole dances, the traditional games of To Ma Le, the circle dances of solidarity, and the traditional songs of the Mong and Thai ethnic people resonated, bridging distances and connecting everyone in shared joy, creating memorable moments and a joyful celebration of Tet.
Muong Chanh commune.
Ms. Cam Kim Thoa from Me village happily said: "After many matches, with a spirit of effort and hard work, the village's women's football team won first prize at the 'Welcome to the Spring Festival of the Year of the Horse' program 'Returning to the Revolutionary Roots - Proud of Muong Chanh'. We are all very happy and excited and hope that next year the commune will continue to organize spring festival activities so that we can interact, learn, and improve our spiritual lives."
Comrade Nguyen Thi Hai Yen, Secretary of the Party Committee of Muong Chanh commune, emphasized: The achievements are an important foundation for Muong Chanh to enter the new year with even greater determination. The commune will continue to effectively implement the Resolutions of the Party Congress at all levels for the 2025-2030 term; focus on developing agriculture and forestry towards concentrated commodity production along the value chain; especially building key products such as coffee, developing organic rice farming areas, VietGAP certified rice production, and developing community tourism; focusing on digital transformation in production and business and exploiting local tourism potential to create breakthroughs. Mobilize all resources to synchronize transportation infrastructure, strictly manage forest resources and the ecological environment; preserve and promote traditional cultural values, and build a culture rich in national identity.
Today, the revolutionary homeland of Muong Chanh has donned a new look, with wide, clean, and beautiful concrete roads within and between villages; golden rice paddies; and vast green coffee plantations... The people here continue to unite, working together to build a more prosperous and beautiful Muong Chanh, further enhancing the heroic traditions of their revolutionary homeland.
