Xo Dang people perform gongs to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Tu Mo Rong district's establishment
Established on June 9, 2005, Tu Mo Rong district has more than 95% of the population being Xo Dang ethnic people.

Up to now, 100% of villages have national grid electricity, and roads have been expanded to most communes. The poverty rate has decreased to below 30%. Average income per capita reached 47 million VND/person/year.Education , health care, and social security have received investment attention, and the quality has been increasingly improved. Traditional cultural values of the Xo Dang people have been preserved and promoted.
Chairman of Kon Tum Provincial People's Committee Le Ngoc Tuan speaks at the Anniversary Ceremony
In particular, Tu Mo Rong has become a key medicinal area of the Central Highlands, with an area of over 3,000 hectares of Ngoc Linh ginseng and thousands of hectares of other precious medicinal plants. This is the foundation for developing a tourism model to visit Ngoc Linh ginseng national park, gradually affirming the brand of "ginseng capital" of Vietnam on the international map. Tu Mo Rong is gradually forming a sustainable production chain under the forest canopy, linking cultivation with forest protection and developing eco-tourism. This direction not only increases economic value but also creates more jobs for local people. The Xo Dang people have owned precious Ngoc Linh ginseng gardens, helping them escape poverty and become rich.
Speaking at the Celebration Ceremony, Chairman of Kon Tum Provincial People's Committee Le Ngoc Tuan emphasized: The proud results over 20 years of construction and development are clear evidence of the solidarity, dynamism, creativity and strong aspirations of the entire Party Committee, government and people of Tu Mo Rong district.
