Luc Nam exploits advantages, develops trade and services

Many advantages to break through

Luc Nam commune was established on the basis of merging 5 communes and towns of the former Luc Nam district including: Doi Ngo, Phuong Son, Tien Nha, Cuong Son and Chu Dien with a total area of nearly 59 km2, population of more than 58 thousand people. As the central area of the former Luc Nam district, after operating a 2-level government, along with expanding development space, Luc Nam commune has many advantages to develop trade and services.

Luc Nam commune has many advantages for developing trade and services.

Luc Nam's transport infrastructure is considered to have many advantages compared to neighboring localities when it converges all types of transport: Road (National Highway 31, 37; Provincial Road 293, 295), railway (Kep - Ha Long route) and waterway (Luc Nam River). Thanks to that, goods are easily circulated, businesses can conveniently expand their transportation and distribution networks. In addition to the major traffic axis, the communal and inter-village road system has been invested in and renovated, sidewalks and landscapes have been renovated, creating conditions for opening street-front shops, food and beverage services, retail, etc.

Luc Nam's commercial space is also supported by a system of markets and large retail centers. There are 4 large-scale markets with more than 550 regular business households; 2 supermarkets and shopping centers along with hundreds of convenience stores, construction material dealers, interior design, food and beverage services, and entertainment areas. Some commercial and service projects have been formed such as: Eastern residential area, Phuong Son residential area, Thanh Nien lake floating island... also promising to create a modern and synchronous business space.

“There are also two industrial clusters in the area: Gia Khe and Doi Ngo with about 8,000 workers. This is a large source of customers, creating strong demand for food, entertainment, transportation, services and housing. This factor helps trade and services in Luc Nam develop early and diversely compared to neighboring localities,” said Mr. Pham Huynh Duc, Head of the Economic Department of Luc Nam commune.

Take advantage of opportunities to develop services

Along Highway 31, passing through Luc Nam Commune, shops and businesses have sprung up side by side. In the areas near the markets: Thanh Xuan, San, Doi Ngo, Chang…, buying, selling and exchanging goods are taking place busily.

Visiting the interior and sanitary equipment store of Cuong Dung Trading and Construction Company Limited in Phuong Lan 6 village at the right time when the store was crowded with customers. While introducing to customers the popular types of floor tiles that are being chosen by many people, Mr. Dang Van Cuong (born in 1987), Director of Cuong Dung Trading and Construction Company Limited, said that before, he and his wife opened a small building materials store right at home, mainly supplying sand, gravel, and cement to households in the village.

8 years ago, realizing the great demand for kitchen and bathroom furniture, the couple decided to expand their business and sell more kitchen and bathroom equipment. Thanks to being located on Highway 31, the couple's business is known to many customers. In June 2025, Mr. Cuong established Cuong Dung Trading and Construction Limited Liability Company, specializing in trading other construction materials and installation equipment.

Switching to a business model, Mr. Cuong especially focused on reputation and after-sales service, so the number of customers not only in the commune but also from neighboring areas increased sharply. After nearly half a year of operating under the new model, his business has achieved a revenue of more than 1 billion VND, creating stable jobs for 5 local workers.

According to statistics, currently in Luc Nam commune there are more than 200 enterprises and nearly 2,400 households doing business in the field of trade and services, meeting the bustling trading needs of people inside and outside the commune. By taking advantage of the favorable traffic location, the models have promoted their effectiveness, gradually improving the lives of the people.

For example, the self-service supermarket of Mr. Nguyen Van Dan's family (born in 1974) in Ha My village has a revenue of about 100 million VND/day, creating jobs for 20 local workers with an income of 12 - 16 million VND/person/month. Similarly, grasping the trend, Minh Duc Trading Company Limited in Phuong Lan 2 village invested in more than 100 passenger cars to serve the needs of transporting workers in the area.

Mr. Nguyen Van Tien, Head of Transport Operations at Minh Duc Trading Company Limited, said: “Along with the activities of transporting workers, we also signed many contracts for transporting passengers on tours in and out of the province. The work is stable, and the income of workers has also improved.”

Towards the commercial and service center of the region

Despite the positive results, through assessment, the economic restructuring in the commune is not really strong, production, business, trade and service activities are not commensurate with the potential strengths. Part of the reason is that the newly merged localities do not have uniform development; investment resources for the trade and service sectors are still limited...

To maximize the advantages, in the 2025 - 2030 term, the Luc Nam Commune Party Committee determined to focus on developing infrastructure to create momentum for trade and services to "take off". This is identified as one of the five key programs and tasks.

Accordingly, Luc Nam commune focuses on planning and attracting investment in building commercial infrastructure; developing distribution channels and business types, including a system of convenience stores serving consumers in residential areas, urban areas, and industrial clusters.

Encourage business households to build small supermarkets, apply information technology in transactions; promote the development of service types in the area, promote the development of supermarkets and large-scale service stores, exploit and maximize the development of services of markets in the area. Pay attention to investing and creating conditions for the development of trade and services along national highways 31, 37, provincial roads 293, 295, Thanh Xuan market, Chang market, Doi Ngo market, San market...

At the same time, deploy cooperation, joint venture and association activities in the fields of trade and services, create strengths in providing services and goods, promote consumption of specific products and strengths of the locality. Strengthen coordination in implementing market management, preventing and combating smuggling, counterfeit goods, poor quality goods, trade fraud, illegal business. Encourage and create favorable mechanisms in terms of policies, land... to attract businesses and investors to implement trade and service projects.

In the immediate future, in 2026, the commune will promote trade and apply e-commerce to promote and market products in domestic and foreign markets. Continue to develop a variety of high-quality services; develop diverse and flexible services for production, daily life, social services, and public services.

“Luc Nam has all the conditions to become a regional trade and service center. To maximize its advantages, the commune will continue to mobilize resources, create maximum conditions for business development, and strive to increase the proportion of trade and services in the economic structure to 32% by 2030,” informed Mr. Pham Huynh Duc.
