Rising from hardship, Binh Chanh commune actively responded to the innovation initiated and led by the Party, building a more and more clearly changing appearance of the homeland.

The work of agricultural reform and collectivization was carried out synchronously, cooperatives operated effectively, truly being the people's support, production relations were established and gradually improved. People contributed thousands of working days to irrigation, digging and building canals, reclaiming land, and expanding production areas.

If in 1984, the commune's rice productivity reached 15 - 20 quintals/ha, by 2023 it will reach 61.46 quintals/ha; average food per capita in 2023 will reach 1,663 kg, while in 1984 it was only 211 kg.
