Coffee trees help people stabilize their lives
Sub-area 179, Dam Rong 2 commune currently has about 145 households with nearly 800 people, mainly H'Mong ethnic people.
Once a residential area of free migrant H'Mong people, this place has now been planned, gradually investing in infrastructure and facilities serving life.
According to Mr. Ly A So - Head of Self-management Group of Sub-area 179, agricultural production is the main livelihood of the people, in which coffee is the main crop, besides a part of the durian area. People also grow rice and raise livestock and poultry.
Mr. So said that many households have quite large coffee areas. The small household is about 2ha, the large household is 7-8ha, and the rest is commonly 4-5ha.
The land here is good, coffee yields quite well. In the past two years, coffee prices have increased sharply, at times 100,000-125,000 VND/kg, so people's lives are abundant and have savings" - Mr. So said.
Sung A Tua, born in 1988, from Ha Giang, followed his parents to the Central Highlands to start a business from the late 1990s. After many years of reclamation, his family currently has 7 hectares of coffee being harvested.
According to Mr. Tua, suitable land and coffee prices maintained at a high level help the family's life change significantly. Many households also have the conditions to build new houses and buy cars and machinery for production.
From a land where many H'Mong households migrated freely, people in Sub-area 179 are gradually stabilizing their lives and rising thanks to coffee trees and land advantages.
Infrastructure paves the way for residential area development
Along with increasingly prosperous life, infrastructure in Sub-area 179 has also been gradually invested in, creating a foundation for people to stabilize their lives and develop production.
Mr. Truong Van Sang - Chairman of Dam Rong 2 Commune People's Committee, said that in the period 2021-2025, the locality has integrated investment resources, put into use village halls, health stations and teacher dormitories.
In 2026, the locality will continue to invest in Lieng Sronh Primary School and Lieng Sronh Kindergarten, along with fences and auxiliary works, with a budget of more than 4.23 billion VND. Items are being completed to serve the 2026-2027 school year.
Notably, the road connecting from the commune area to Sub-area 179 is about 18km long, with a total capital of 180 billion VND, expected to be completed in 2028.
The internal road of the residential area was also invested nearly 17.8 billion VND.
The projects are expected to facilitate people's travel, transportation of agricultural products and production development.
Local authorities are coordinating with functional sectors to measure, prepare cadastral records, and digitize production land areas.
Households that meet the conditions will be guided to complete procedures for issuing land use right certificates.
In the coming time, Dam Rong 2 commune will continue to propose investing in essential projects such as electricity and domestic water; supporting people to access capital for production development, health care and implementing social security policies.
From a residential area formed by free migrant H'Mong people, Sub-area 179 is gradually changing.
Infrastructure, schools and support policies are creating more conditions for people to feel secure in sticking with and developing the economy in the new land.
