Investment in fertilizers and pest control is carried out at the right time, contributing to increasing productivity and income for farmers. The Commune People's Committee has directed the arrangement of varieties suitable for cultivated land, investment in adequate fertilizers and timely pest control to achieve and exceed the set productivity and output.
In Ho hamlet 1, Mr. Bui Van Son planted corn mixed with cassava on an area of over 1 hectare and said: "This crop of corn is good, big, and sells for a good price. Cassava is better than every year, with few pests and diseases. Thanks to technical guidance and adequate irrigation water, people are confident in production. My family earned more than 50 million VND, after deducting expenses, the profit is almost half."
Other crops such as squash, peanuts, sugarcane, etc. all have good yields. Sugarcane is sold at the field for nearly 1 million VND/ton, bringing significant income to many households. According to statistics, other annual crops (cucumbers, peanuts, vegetables, etc.) account for nearly 30 hectares in the spring crop structure. The commune is continuing to mobilize people to renovate mixed gardens, consolidate fields, and expand the area for growing fruit trees and other high -value crops.
The livestock sector is also given attention and promoted. The commune focuses on disease prevention and control for livestock and poultry. Currently, the commune has a total herd of 1,206 buffaloes and cows, 2,236 pigs, 25,000 poultry, and 236 goats. Many households that raise livestock in the direction of semi-intensive farming have boldly re-herded and renovated their barns in the direction of bio-security. People are prioritizing the development and expansion of crossbred cows, native black pigs, and domestic chickens. The commune also encourages people to utilize agricultural by-products as animal feed, reducing input costs.
Currently, the average income per capita of the commune is 34 million VND, equal to 55.7% of the 2025 plan (61 million VND). With a total of 1,415 households and 6,633 people, the poverty rate of the commune is being reviewed according to the multidimensional poverty standard. The whole commune has 357 households borrowing capital from the Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development with outstanding debt of 23 billion VND and 581 households borrowing social policy capital with outstanding debt of over 22.4 billion VND, with no overdue debt.
The movement "All people unite to build a cultural life" continues to be promoted. The rate of households, residential areas, and agencies meeting cultural standards all strive to reach 80% or more. In particular, the commune maintains the criteria for meeting new rural standards and continues to improve the criteria, building a model residential area in Ho hamlet 2.
Comrade Bui Van Manh, Chairman of Yen Nghiep Commune People's Committee, said: Agricultural production in the first months of the year has been relatively favorable, people have a good income, and their lives have improved. However, there are still many difficulties such as labor shortage, unstable product output... In the coming time, the commune will focus on increasing production value, encouraging the renovation of mixed gardens, changing crop structure, increasing income from livestock farming associated with environmental protection. At the same time, proactively plan to respond to natural disasters, minimizing damage.
Entering the crop season, Yen Nghiep commune is actively directing the planting on schedule, ensuring the annual planting area reaches 870 hectares and the grain crop output reaches 1,600 tons as planned. People are expecting a year of good harvest and good prices.
