One of the pioneer households investing on a large scale in the business of motorbikes and agricultural machinery in the center of Ta Hoc commune, Mr. Doan Van Vuong, sub-zone 8, said: Previously, people mainly had to go to Hat Lot town (old Mai Son district) to buy motorbikes, plows, water pumps, and spare parts. Realizing the increasing demand, in 2015, I boldly opened a store right in the commune. With the government's facilitation in procedures, I expanded my repair services and sold spare parts to serve the needs of the people in the area.

Many households in the commune have also boldly invested in opening grocery stores, restaurants, motels, and transportation services to meet the needs of people and visitors on the provincial road. Mr. Lo Van Tan, Mong village, shared: In the past, shopping was very difficult, you had to go far to find a store, now right in the center of the commune there are enough stores for building materials, motorbikes, household appliances, and restaurants to meet the needs of the people.

In the riverside area, especially Ta Hoc port, in recent years, the commune's waterway transport services have developed strongly with loading and unloading activities, transporting construction materials and ferry services to transport people and vehicles across the river. Some households have opened additional food and beverage services, supplying gasoline and soft drinks to serve the needs of residents and visitors. Thanks to that, the port area has become increasingly vibrant, creating jobs and stable income for many local workers.

Motorcycle, bicycle and agricultural machinery stores in sub-zone 8, Ta Hoc commune meet people's shopping needs.
