Binh Phuoc: Changes in the border district

Bu Gia Map district was established and operated from November 1, 2009, including 18 communes. In August 2015, Bu Gia Map was separated to establish Phu Rieng district. Since then, Bu Gia Map district has 8 communes, population of 85 thousand people, of which more than 36% of households are ethnic minorities. After 15 years of establishment, the district has overcome difficulties and achieved many achievements in socio -economic development.

15 years of innovation and development

In 2009, Bu Gia Map was one of the most difficult districts. The agricultural, forestry and fishery economy, industry and services were not yet developed; the technical facilities were poor, and the infrastructure was limited. The people's lives in the district faced many difficulties, with the average income per capita reaching only 14.58 million VND/year. The staff was both lacking and weak, not up to the task. The people's educational level was low, the poverty rate was high... These were obstacles that directly affected the construction and development process of the district.

The budget revenue in 2024 is estimated at 206 billion VND, an average annual increase of 8%.

In recent years, the economic structure has shifted towards increasing the proportion of industry and services and reducing the proportion of agriculture to meet the needs of local socio-economic development. Investment in basic construction has been promoted, contributing to changing the face of the border district.
