In late 2023 and early 2024, nearly a dozen communes in the province were recognized as meeting new rural model standards (NTMKM).

With a total area of 4.55 hectares, his family has reserved 1.6 hectares of low land at the foot of the hill to dig a pond system to raise fish, and at the same time store water for irrigation of crops. Catfish, sea bass, and grass carp have brought in hundreds of millions of VND in revenue each year. The Dien grapefruit and green-skin grapefruit gardens planted before 2017 in an organic direction have been harvested, meeting VietGAP standards. Other areas are planted with star apple, Thai jackfruit, coconut... Notably, the entire grapefruit growing area is nearly 2 hectares wide on high ground but has a modern automatic irrigation system to each tree, helping to increase crop productivity. According to the model owner's calculations, in 2023, the family's total income reached about 1 billion VND, of which fruit trees reached 600 million VND. This comprehensive economic model currently also creates jobs for 10 local workers.

People also promote synchronous mechanization in production, helping to increase the coefficient of land use for rice and specialized crops. Local agricultural service cooperatives also strengthen links and joint ventures with companies and enterprises that consume products for the people.
