From smart village

On the day village 5 organized the National Great Unity Festival, with the attendance of Deputy Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Internal Affairs Committee Phan The Hanh, everyone was happy and proud. Not only because the village was chosen by Tra Tan commune as a model, but also because this highlighted the formation and development process of more than 30 years of a village that was originally purely agricultural but has changed positively. Remember in 2023, the village turned 30 years old, it seemed like it had not escaped, when hundreds of hectares of land along the La Nga River were rich in fruit seasons, but by the end of 2024, it was recognized as a smart village. The name itself envisions people applying technical advances; having elements of a modern, civilized society; having a bustling, smooth...

It is no coincidence that village 5 was chosen by the leaders of the People's Committee of Tra Tan commune (old) to build a smart village model and is also the first smart village of Duc Linh district (old). In fact, in the journey to contribute to the commune in completing the criteria for reaching the advanced new rural finish line, the village has had decisive factors to meet the requirements of the 12 smart village criteria. The remaining problem is just to rearrange and propose specific solutions to clarify and strengthen. At that time, the commune leaders emphasized that the village needed to complete the production criteria; exploit the strengths of the riverside to invest in community tourism ; further strengthen the work of ensuring security and order, promote security camera models; build bright - green - clean - beautiful roads...

Now, all of the above have come true and become more orderly, because the infrastructure in the village has been properly invested and is clean and beautiful. Moreover, the village produces a variety of products, not just agriculture . In addition to hydroponic vegetables with automatic irrigation, melons grown in greenhouses, cinnamon - lemongrass essential oil production, tissue culture bananas, there are also sculptural handicraft products, brooms, hats and even stuffed animals. Mr. Nguyen Van The - Head of Village 5, Tra Tan Commune said that the industries and products in the village are interested in exploiting advantages, joint ventures, determining area codes as a basis for promoting products, brands, as well as origin, and accessing the market. Accordingly, the majority of people in the village have limited the use of cash in exchanging goods as well as paying for other services such as electricity, health insurance. In addition, information is also quick and timely through zalo and facebook groups. People's awareness of solidarity and joining hands for the community is increasingly high. Partly thanks to people's increasing income.

On occasions that require joint efforts, such as supporting people affected by recent floods, the villagers have donated more than 90 million VND. On occasions such as the national unity festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, etc., the donations have been smooth and favorable as scheduled. In particular, thanks to contributions according to the village's conventions and regulations, families with bereavements have received nearly 4 million VND in condolence money...

Thanks to sufficient conditions

Village 5 is one of 12 villages of Tra Tan, a commune merged from 3 communes: Dong Ha, Tan Ha and Tra Tan of the old Duc Linh district. Currently, Tra Tan commune has 3 industrial clusters in operation, of which 2 industrial clusters: Nam Ha, Nam Ha 2 have been filled 100%; Dong Ha industrial cluster invested by Korean enterprises has reached a rate of about 30%. Accordingly, domestic and foreign enterprises such as: Korea, Japan, Taiwan (China), Israel... have been and are concentrating on these 3 industrial clusters. Along with the appearance of factories and workshops, the recruitment of workers has also gradually increased. First and most prominent, Nam Ha Shoes Company Limited has been operating for more than 2 years and has recruited 5,000 workers. Although Tra Tan is in zone 4, this factory pays workers according to zone 1. Therefore, it has attracted a large number of workers, including local people, especially the young generation, who have participated with a salary of 10 - 15 million VND/month. If both husband and wife are workers in the family, then with an income of more than 20 million VND/month in this area with low living and food costs, there will certainly be a lot of surplus.

The stable monthly income, along with income from agriculture and services, which are inherently unstable, have all contributed to creating a multi-income model in many families in the commune. All of this has helped the average income per capita in the three communes: Dong Ha, Tan Ha, Tra Tan (old) increase rapidly in the past 2-3 years, meeting the criteria of an advanced new rural commune and a model new rural commune. In 2024, the average income per capita/year in Tan Ha commune was about 65 million VND/person; Tra Tan was more than 69 million VND/person and Dong Ha was 72.08 million VND/person. In 2025, the average income per capita of Tra Tan commune after the merger was 71 million VND/person.

That more or less shows that in 2025, despite the merger of administrative units, production and business activities in this area bordering Dong Nai province will still be stable, and businesses in the 3 industrial clusters will still operate normally. Moreover, there is also good progress, as secondary investors in the clusters are building factories and starting to recruit more workers with the number of thousands of workers or more.

The opportunity to "leave farming but not leave home" is becoming more common and more families have income from participating in industry and business services, not just stopping at agriculture and services around agriculture as before. That is also the reason why Tra Tan commune has set the target of average income per capita by 2030 at over 98 million VND, meaning that each year, each person in the commune has an income increase of 5.4 million VND. This is a high increase, only thanks to Tra Tan having more industry, as a sufficient condition for the commune to develop, for people to increase their income.

“
According to many people, the income of people in the commune has increased continuously since the industrial clusters with many businesses have come into operation. Many families have an annual income from salaries with a total of 200 - 400 million VND. In addition, thanks to the strength
attracting industrial investment, many families transfer land and have a lot of money in the bank. For example, at the Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development - Duc Linh Branch, in 2023, the capital mobilized from 3 communes (old) was 158 billion VND, while the current capital of Tra Tan commune is 200 billion VND.
