Highlighting the role of people in NRD
In the process of NRD, people are a key factor determining the effectiveness of the movement. Before the transformation of the countryside, in addition to inheriting the available conditions from the facilities, people in rural areas have been in harmony with the new trend of the integration period by actively grasping scientific and technical knowledge, positively responding to movements of high technology application in production, start-up, and innovation. The change also comes from the farmer's sense of self-reliance, dynamic ability, will and aspiration to get rich, dare to think and dare to do.

In addition to technical knowledge, Mr. Hon also boldly applies new technologies such as using automatic systems to reduce labor costs, applying production chain models associated with preservation, processing and consumption of agricultural products; Clean agricultural production associated with environmental protection. As a result, productivity and product quality are improved for a high income and stable economy, after deducting costs, Mr. Hon's family still has a net profit of 1 million dong per day.
The emulation movement "Good farmers in production and business" has created a wide and vibrant atmosphere. In the past 5 years, the province has had more than 132,000 households won the title of good farmer in production and business at all levels. The application of high technology in agricultural production has been applied by many businesses, farmers and households with high economic efficiency.
