The communes that have just completed the model new rural areas of Phu Loc, Tra Co and Phu Xuan all focus on developing production, increasing people's income and reducing poverty.

Tra Co is a purely agricultural commune, with a low starting point in building a new rural area. The commune is a pioneer in the district in building a model new rural area thanks to exploiting the strengths of the locality to develop cultivation, aquaculture and tourism. Currently, the value of agricultural production in the commune reaches 190 million VND/hectare/year, an increase of 10 million VND/hectare compared to 2022. Tra Co commune has 2 main agricultural products: giant freshwater prawn and durian. In durian production, farmers actively apply digital transformation to trace the origin, have a growing area code and are sold through e-commerce channels.

The green-legged shrimp raised in Tra Co is a specialty that sells for a high price on the market because it is raised from a source of pure natural spring water, giving good quality, and is favored by consumers. Since 2021, this item has been granted a certificate of registration of the trademark of Tra Co Green-legged Shrimp by the Department of Science and Technology. The area for raising this specialty shrimp has expanded by dozens of hectares, farmers are interested in applying science and technology, certifying VietGAP for Tra Co shrimp.

Mr. Pham Tri Tam, owner of a shrimp purchasing agency in Tra Co commune, said that the trademark granting of giant freshwater prawns has contributed to building a brand, thereby increasing product recognition among consumers. Thereby, increasingly improving the competitiveness of the product, while protecting the interests of shrimp farmers in the integration process.

Durian is the main product, the commune has a durian growing area for export to the Chinese market with an area of ​​14.9 hectares. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tung's organic durian growing model in Hamlet 4 is recognized as a typical model. This remote commune also attracts enterprises to start up and invest in the agricultural sector, achieving impressive results.
