In 2022, the district's production value increased by 14.2%, the highest ever so far. Revenue from the forest economy reached 819 billion VND (34.3 million USD), while the rate of poor and near-poor households decreased sharply.

The view at the meeting.

Concluding the event, Duong acknowledged, praised and appreciated the efforts made by the district Party Organization, authorities and people over the past time.

He emphasized that Son Dong has seven strengths to focus on, including forestry; fruit trees and medicinal plants; husbandry; spiritual tourism and ecotourism; mining and building material production; wood processing and wind power; and cultural identity.

In the coming time, the district Party Committee, People's Council and People's Committee must issue resolutions and map out projects for each strength, in which strengths must be linked to support each other. In the implementation process, they need to change the ways of thinking and doing, and assign tasks to each individual.

Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Le O Pich voices at the meeting.

In the immediate future, the district should complete land use planning, selecting 2-3 locations to attract investment in building wood processing factories. Great attention needs to be paid to planning work, with the establishment of a steering committee on the issue. The district must also put all efforts into implementing national target programs and accelerating capital disbursement.

It should focus on building the Thanh Son Industrial Cluster, striving to put it into operation in 2024.

The provincial leader asked Son Dong to take advantage of the guidance and facilitation of agencies to develop key and OCOP products, focusing on three trees and one animal (forestry tree, fruit tree, medicinal plant and chicken) to develop specific products and goods, ensuring quantity and quality according to market requirements.
