Thanks to the effective implementation of the above solutions, in recent years, the socio-economic development targets of the commune have been achieved and exceeded the set plan.

On average, the annual yield of fresh tea buds reaches 2,100 tons. Of the commune’s 1,200 hectares of production forest, over 304 hectares have been granted FSC certification.

Notably, the commune is home to five cooperative groups and agricultural cooperatives that operate stably in the agricultural and forestry sectors, facilitating economic development for local residents.

For example, the Tân Long Agricultural Trade and Services Cooperative, established in 2022, has been operating effectively since its founding, with 11 members. Mr. Hoang Dang Vinh, Director of the Cooperative, shared: “Recognizing the advantages of the local area, I took the initiative to form a cooperative that brings together farmers with a shared interest in raising goats and chickens.”

In recent years, the cooperative has served as a key link with companies to provide high-quality breeding stock and feed for its members, while also creating a platform for them to exchange experiences in animal husbandry and disease prevention. Currently, the total goat population in the commune has reached 1,000, with 15 farms in operation, 10 of which are managed by the cooperative.

Ms. Lang Thi Diem, a member of the VietGAP tea production cooperative group in Ba Dinh hamlet, shared: “As a member of the group, I have participated in many training sessions, gained new knowledge, and come to appreciate the value of new tea varieties and VietGAP-certified tea. Currently, my family mainly cultivates the Long Van tea variety, which sells for twice the price of common fresh tea varieties. I’ve also invested in machinery and opened a small processing workshop to enhance the value of the tea and improve economic efficiency.”

To help residents access funding for economic development, the Tan Long Commune People's Committee has coordinated with the Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development and the district branch of the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies (VBSP) to effectively implement credit support programs.

Ms. Luc Thi Thu, a resident of Dong Luong hamlet, said: “In 2021, thanks to a 100 million VND loan from VBSP, my family was able to invest in livestock farming and plant 1 hectare of acacia trees. With effective production, our living conditions have improved.”

The average annual income per person has reached 43 million VND, an increase of 8 million VND compared to 2021.
