Thai Hung: Promoting economic development

Truong Thinh Garment Company Limited provides jobs for 300 local workers, with an income of 5-7 million VND/month.

Realizing that developing the family economy from livestock farming brings practical results, Mr. Vu Tuan Tu, Van Han Chung village, Thai Hung commune, boldly converted 1.58 hectares of ineffective rice-growing land to invest in a pig farm. Mr. Tu shared: Thanks to the Commune Farmers' Association creating conditions for me to visit and learn from effective livestock farming models in and outside the district, in 2018, I invested more than 300 million VND to build a pilot barn system for raising 200 pigs. After a period of accumulating experience, mastering techniques and managing the livestock process well, I expanded the scale to 1,000 pigs/batch, 2 batches/year, with an output of 10 - 12 tons/batch. To ensure environmental hygiene, I applied a closed livestock farming model, complied with biosafety procedures, treated waste with a biogas system and a modern waste separator. I cooperate with Cargill Company in providing breeds, feed and technical support, helping to stabilize inputs and outputs, maintaining production efficiency. In 2024, under the condition that the price of live pigs remains stable at 67,000 - 68,000 VND/kg, the price of breeds and feed is reasonable, the farm will bring in revenue of 8 - 10 billion VND/year, creating regular jobs for 4 - 5 local workers, with an average income of about 8 million VND/person/month. Mr. Ta Ngoc Vinh, Chairman of the Commune Farmers' Association, said: The livestock model of member Vu Tuan Tu is one of the typical effective economic models, with high spillover, contributing to promoting the transformation of production thinking from small-scale to commodity-oriented, large-scale. From practical effectiveness, the Association has included the model's content in the activities of the branch to propagate and replicate throughout the area. In parallel with the development of farm and family livestock farming, farmer members also effectively exploit nearly 40 hectares of freshwater fish ponds combined with poultry farming. Diverse agricultural production models have contributed to increasing the total production value from cultivation, livestock and aquaculture to more than 77 billion VND/year.

Not only focusing on developing agricultural production, Thai Hung commune also promotes the development of occupations and small-scale industries to create jobs on the spot and increase local labor income. Ms. Nguyen Thi Tam, Van Han Chung village said: In 2020, with the commune's support to access capital of 50 million VND from the job creation program, I boldly established a rattan and bamboo weaving production group. Currently, the facility maintains regular jobs for more than 30 local workers. On average, each month, the production group supplies the market with about 9,000 diverse rattan and bamboo weaving products such as rectangular boxes, food trays, shelves, bins, baskets... with revenue of over 100 million VND. I am actively expanding the scale of production, and at the same time hope to continue to access preferential capital sources to upgrade machinery, expand premises, contribute to attracting more idle workers, and promote family economic development.

To develop industry, Thai Hung commune focuses on calling for investors to the area, creating the most favorable conditions for businesses, production and business establishments. Up to now, the commune has 1 enterprise, 5 garment processing establishments creating jobs for hundreds of workers, with an income of 5 - 7 million VND/month. Truong Thinh Garment Company Limited is a bright spot in job creation and contribution to the local budget. Ms. Pham Thi Thu, representative of the company, said: The company was established in 2019, specializing in the production of cotton-padded jackets and double-layer jackets for export to Korea. From the initial 3 production lines, after 6 years of operation, the company has expanded to 5 lines, creating stable jobs for 300 workers. Each year, the company exports 25,000 - 30,000 products, with revenue reaching about 23 billion VND. Since the beginning of 2025, the Company has exported 12,000 products, signed orders until the end of the year, and set a revenue growth target of 4-5%. Ms. Le Thi Que, Vu Thanh Dong village, has been with the Company since its inception and is currently the head of the goods inspection team. She shared: The Company's working environment is clean, airy, and has full benefits. I am supported with 300,000 VND/month for gasoline and 500,000 VND/month for seniority. With an income of 9 million VND/month and working close to home, I am confident in staying long-term.

Mr. Nguyen Manh Chien, Vice Chairman of Thai Hung Commune People's Committee, said: With its central location in the southern region of the district, Thai Hung has many favorable conditions for developing industry, trade and services. The inter-commune traffic system has been invested synchronously, in which route DH.87 from Cau Cau intersection to Duong Hong Thuy commune has been upgraded and expanded, facilitating trade and attracting businesses to invest in the area. Thanks to the good promotion of potential and advantages, in recent years, the commune's economy has continued to maintain a fairly good growth momentum. The average growth rate of production value reached 12%/year; average income per capita reached 64 million VND/year; the poverty rate decreased to 1.7%. Preparing for the merger of commune-level administrative units, Thai Hung determined not to let the economic development process be interrupted. The locality focuses on developing industry, small-scale industry, trade and services; Continue to support people and businesses to access preferential capital sources, apply scientific and technological advances to improve productivity and product quality. Strive for average income per capita to reach 68 million VND by 2025, and the poverty rate to decrease to below 1.5%.
