>> Yen Thai Party Committee follows Uncle Ho's words
>> Yen Thai Party Committee practically implements Directive 05
However, in recent years, under the light of resolutions of Party congresses at all levels, policies of the Party and State, the spirit of solidarity, diligence and creativity in labor production of the people of all ethnic groups in the commune, Yen Thai has promoted local potentials and strengths; in which, hill and forest economy, especially cinnamon cultivation, is identified as the key crop in socio-economic development.
Comrade Bui Xuan Thanh - Chairman of the Commune People's Committee affirmed: "Many households have been able to build high-rise buildings, buy cars, purchase many expensive items, and have had their children educated to the fullest... all thanks to planting forests."
If in the past, the lives of 215 households in Trang village had to worry about every meal every day, now it is different. Thanks to afforestation, more than 85% of households have built solid high-rise houses, their lives are constantly changing. Mrs. Nong Thi An Na - Secretary of Trang village Party cell happily said: "The total forested area of the village is nearly 500 hectares, most people grow cinnamon, small households 0.5 hectares, large households from 5 - 7 hectares".
Ms. Nong Thi Then in Trang village - who has many years of experience in forest planting, currently owns over 5 hectares, mainly growing cinnamon, with an annual income of over 100 million VND, said: "Previously, officials had to go to each house to encourage people to plant forests, but now people are aware of the benefits of forest planting, so they do not leave any land empty anymore. Thanks to forest planting, not only my family but also many households in the village and commune have been able to build big houses, buy many expensive items, and their children have been able to study well."
Not only in Trang village, but also people in Tan Thanh village are very happy and excited to turn the barren hills of the past into "golden forests" today.
Mr. Nguyen Tien Than - Tan Thanh village currently has over 4 hectares of cinnamon, combined with livestock farming, with an annual income of over 150 million VND, shared: "For many years, the province, district and commune have always had support policies for people to develop livestock farming and afforestation, my family has known how to take advantage of the existing forest land area to focus on production. Thanks to afforestation, it has brought a prosperous life to the family".
Yen Thai currently has over 1,450 households and over 5,300 people. Although it still faces many difficulties as a purely agricultural commune, in recent years, with the participation of the entire political system, the flexible management and direction of the government, and the solidarity of the people, the potentials and strengths of this locality have been awakened.
Every year, along with maintaining over 324 hectares of rice, the yield reaches 54 quintals/ha, the output reaches over 1,767 tons/year; the main livestock herd is over 5,305 heads, the poultry herd is 67,200 heads, people in Yen Thai identify afforestation as a strength, a spearhead in hunger eradication, poverty reduction, and sustainable enrichment.
The whole commune has 1,450 households, most of which grow forests with an area of nearly 2,000 hectares. Every year, people grow forests and harvest over 8,554m3, bringing in tens of billions of VND in revenue from planted forest wood. In particular, to help farmers stick with the profession for a long time, the commune has connected with businesses and companies to consume products. Currently, 3 businesses have been established in the commune, and over 30 households are doing business in purchasing cinnamon for people.
From a poor commune, in recent years, Yen Thai has taken on a new look. The system of inter-village roads and alleys has been basically concreted; the average income per capita has reached over 60 million VND/year, the poverty rate is still 0.3%, the commune reached the new rural area target in 2019. That is a solid premise for Yen Thai to continue promoting the tradition of solidarity, building a clean and strong Party and political system in the coming years.
