At the end of 2021, the multidimensional poverty rate of the whole province was 9.33%, of which poor households of ethnic minorities were 26.96%.

According to the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the implementation of new rural construction and the national target program for sustainable poverty reduction must be more modern, comprehensive and fundamental, adapt to climate change, develop synchronously the socio-economic infrastructure, and meet the requirements of integration and green, circular development.
At the same time, promote the rural economy towards the application of science, technology, digital transformation and innovation, improve income, quality of life and access to essential services of rural people. Build green, clean, beautiful, safe countryside with strong cultural identity, ensuring social security.
For the period 2026-2035, the Department proposes to develop a national target program integrating sustainable poverty reduction and new rural development. The goal for the period 2026-2030 is to reduce the multidimensional poverty rate by 1-1.5%/year; expand green and safe agricultural production models; promote value chain linkages; develop human resources through vocational training and technology transfer; and support rural startups.
By 2035, the province aims to complete a modern new rural system with synchronous infrastructure in transportation, irrigation, health care, education, and environment; at the same time, strongly apply digital technology in management and production, towards building smart and sustainable rural areas.
