The program of building advanced and exemplary new rural areas (NTM) in Phu Xuyen District is being vigorously implemented by the government and the people. Under the direction of leaders at all levels, communes in the district have mobilized the active participation of the entire political system and the consensus of the people, making efforts to implement the criteria of building advanced and exemplary new rural areas. In particular, the roles of people and officials are clearly defined to help encourage and motivate each other to complete the criteria.

Prosperity in the advanced new rural commune

Phu Xuyen district now has asphalt roads and rows of green trees and flowers blooming on both sides, demonstrating the achievements in building an advanced new rural area. People's awareness of preserving and protecting the environment has helped village roads and alleys become spacious and clean, which has been more clearly demonstrated. Building a new rural area has helped agricultural production in Phu Xuyen develop more and more. Currently, the whole district has many specialized production areas for vegetables, rice, aquatic products, and fruit trees, which have brought high economic efficiency. This is a factor that promotes socio-economic development, improves people's lives, and helps many households get rich on their own land.

Coming to Nam Trieu commune today, many people are surprised by the changes in this purely agricultural locality with a rich revolutionary tradition. The roads have been solidified and have been named; houses are numbered. The village roads and alleys are spacious and clean, making it easier for people to travel. Walking around the alleys, it is almost impossible to see littering... It is known that through the conferences to verify the results of the steering committee for building new rural areas and the functional departments of Phu Xuyen district on verifying the results, scoring the criteria for the commune's advanced new rural areas, 15/19 criteria have been achieved, with a score of 97.05/100 points.

To achieve the above results, according to the Chairman of Nam Trieu Commune People's Committee, Phan Cao Lac, building advanced new rural areas is an important political task, which must be under the leadership of the Party, the people are the masters, and the government organizes the implementation. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out well the campaign "All people join hands to build new rural areas and civilized urban areas" and the movement "Women 5 no, 3 clean". Therefore, the work of directing and coordinating the implementation of advanced new rural construction in the commune has been widely deployed by Party committees, authorities, the Fatherland Front, political organizations, and social organizations, creating positive changes in awareness, action, and creating high consensus and unanimity among cadres and Party members, and has spread to every local resident. In recent times, Phu Xuyen has formed models of technology application to ensure food safety, meeting VietGAP standards, such as: Safe vegetable development model in Minh Tan commune with 5 hectares; Black grape growing model in Hong Thai commune; lotus growing model with all kinds of lotus varieties planted on about 40 hectares in Nam Trieu, Nam Phong, Quang Trung communes; Tho grapefruit growing model... In addition to on-site consumption, the remaining quantity of Phu Xuyen's main agricultural products (rice, vegetables, safe fruits, etc.) is organized by agricultural cooperatives and business households to link up and consume products, ensuring 100%. Some production models according to stable linkage chains: Model of rice cultivation linked to product consumption with 170ha in the commune: Chau Can 100ha, Chuyen My 60ha, Minh Tan 10ha...

Up to now, Phu Xuyen has 81 cooperatives, 100% of which have been converted according to the law or newly established according to the Law on Cooperatives 2012, including: 67 agricultural cooperatives and 14 industrial - handicraft, trade and service cooperatives. All agricultural cooperatives have been maintained and operated stably; of the 67 agricultural cooperatives, there are 31 general service cooperatives, 37 agricultural cooperatives specializing in planting, raising livestock, and small and medium-sized aquaculture.

According to Vice Chairman of Phu Xuyen District People's Committee Nguyen Trong Vinh, the results achieved are thanks to the team of professional staff from the district to the grassroots level who have been equipped with theoretical and practical knowledge. The role of the people in building new rural areas has been gradually defined, thereby encouraging people to actively participate in building new rural areas.
