Giving away seedlings at the '0 VND' market, helping people overcome difficulties and develop the economy

On August 20, the People's Committee of Tu Mo Rong commune ( Quang Ngai province) organized the first "zero-dong" market at the newly established Central Market of the commune.

This is not only a social security activity but also opens up opportunities to promote agricultural products, boost commodity production and digital transformation in agriculture of the Xo Dang people here.

At the "0 Dong" market, there are 7 booths where officials, civil servants, cooperative enterprises and people provide free goods such as agricultural products, vegetables, rice, clothes, shoes, books and many other essential goods.

Many people come to participate in the "0 dong" market.

Free clothes and school bags for people and students

All goods are produced by the Tu Mo Rong Commune People's Committee, calling for socialization from businesses, cooperatives and the Xo Dang people themselves, and brought to support and share with households in difficult circumstances.

People will be able to choose fresh vegetables, new sandals, bags of rice or shirts without having to pay, bringing joy, a warm atmosphere, and the sentiment of the highlands.

In addition to the “zero-dong” stalls, the market is also a place to display and sell agricultural products and medicinal herbs produced by people in Tu Mo Rong commune and neighboring communes. This activity not only creates an opportunity to promote local specialties, but also encourages the habit of producing goods, helping people increase their income and develop a sustainable economy .

Also at the fair, the People's Committee of Tu Mo Rong commune and the commune's organizations called for and presented 1,622 gifts of necessities, supported 10,000 pine seedlings and 17 drilling machines for planting coffee and fruit trees for 17 villages in the area, serving the planting of coffee and other crops with high economic value. This is one of the efforts to improve the efficiency of agricultural production, help people improve their income and stabilize their lives, and develop the economy after the Commune Party Congress...

Mr. Tran Quoc Huy - Chairman of Tu Mo Rong Commune People's Committee said that with 95% of the population being Xo Dang ethnic group, living mainly on agriculture and growing medicinal herbs, product consumption is still a big difficulty. The "0 VND" market not only supports poor households but is also an opportunity for people to apply technology, build typical agricultural product brands, and improve their lives.
