The process of building model, modern new rural areas will be a breakthrough for the province," proposed Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Ngoc Phuc.

Farmers in Lam Dong province have access to capital from credit institutions to develop production.

Building rural areas in a modern direction.

According to the Lam Dong Department of Agriculture and Environment, one of the key areas identified by the locality in implementing Resolution 19 is building rural areas in a modern direction, linked with urbanization.

To achieve this goal, Lam Dong province is fully implementing the system of guiding and managing documents for the National Target Program on New Rural Development for the period 2021-2025 and beyond.

A new aspect of implementing this program in Lam Dong is the focus on in-depth, sustainable approaches. The entire province is promoting the tradition of preserving and developing cultural identity, and improving and maintaining a green, clean, and beautiful rural environment.

According to Mr. Tan, the province will focus on investing in the construction of a synchronous and modern rural infrastructure that connects with urban areas. Lam Dong will continue to promptly apply mechanisms and policies to attract investment resources for agricultural and rural infrastructure in the province.

“We are focusing on implementing the criteria for advanced new rural communes right from the beginning of the phase, as a basis for gradually building model new rural areas to achieve the set goals. On this basis, production conditions and the quality of life in rural, mountainous, coastal and island areas will be gradually improved,” emphasized Phan Nguyen Hoang Tan, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment.

The province will flexibly apply the process of consolidating and integrating investment capital from the State budget, as well as leveraging support from the central government to implement rural socio-economic infrastructure projects. Through this program, the province's rural infrastructure will be increasingly improved, meeting the production and living needs of the people.
