Thanks to the breakthrough in the work of cadres, Xuan Loc district has made huge steps forward in building NRAs. Such communes as: Lang Minh, Xuan Hung, Xuan Tam used to be “far behind” in building NRAs, but thanks to the replacement and rotation of irresponsible cadres with capable ones who are as good as their words, these localities made every effort to help Xuan Loc become the first district in the country to meet the standards of NRAs.
“The people are the main objects and also beneficiaries in the work of building NRAs”, this has been the lodestar in the implementation of NRAs in the province. Based on this, the role of the people was promoted, which encouraged all citizens to contribute to the building of NRAs.
During the process of building NRAs, Quang Bien hamlet, Quang Tien commune, Trang Bom district has more than 6km of inter-hamlet asphalt paved road, many routes of which was wholly contributed by the local people. According to Mr. Nguyen Van Duc, chief o Quang Bien hamlet, this significant results were achieved thanks to the transparent processes which were fully publicized to all people to follow and give feedbacks. “On starting the construction of any route, we conducted 3 meetings with the local people. The meetings also were attended by the government, contractors and all local people. All contents including scale, total capital for implementation were discussed to get feedbacks from all participants. Consequently, the projects got the warm response and contribution from the local people. When the construction was completed, the hamlet conducted a conclusion meeting to publicize the cost to all local people.” said Mr Duc.
The practical building of NRAs in the province has proved that the role of ownership and supervision of the people is the key to the success in building NRAs. This was clearly expressed through the contribution of the local people after 5 years of building NRAs. Accordingly, the province mobilized more than 176,000 billion dong to invest in rural areas, in which the State’s budget accounted for nearly 11%, and the rest was contributed by the local people and enterprises.
5 years is not a long period, bụt it can be said that the movement of building NRAs has created a new image of rural life which day by day develops toward modern. However, the results achieved still are not satisfactory, because as determined, building NRAs is a long process which is aimed to create new economic, social and cultural values as well as a suitable environment the meets the needs of the society in the context of industrialization and modernization of the country. Therefore, in parallel with building NRAs. Dong Nai has deployed the post-program of NRAs with the target to improve the ratings of the criteria towards “improving quality, increasing quantity” in building NRAs. “Although the process of building NRAs is not fully completed, the province has deployed the post-program of building NRAs. The province has finished the establishment of the criteria of the pros-program and required all qualified districts and communes to continue to maintain and gradually improve the ratings of all criteria”, said Mr. Pham Minh Dao.

Until 2015, the province had 8 models receiving VietGAP’s certification with more than 162 ha of areas and GlobalGAP certification with more than 12 ha of vegetables, bananas, pomelos, guavas, mangos, rambutans, soursops and black peppers. Especially, Dong Nai is the first province of the country to successfully researched and widely applied the water-saving irrigation systems in combination with fertilization through pipelines which is applicable to many kinds of plants on different terrains, which contributes to dramatic cost savings (in terms of water, time, fuel and labors), increase productivity and efficiency in production. As for breeding sector, there has been a significant improvement in selecting breeds, nearly 100% of pork and chickens raised from new breeds have high productivity and low feed consumption rate.
