The results of new rural construction have helped many localities, especially ethnic minority areas, to make increasingly positive changes.

Mr. Trieu Sinh Minh, Head of Dai Thanh Village, Ea M'droh Commune, previously the rural roads in the area were mainly dirt roads. During the rainy season, these roads became slippery and muddy, making it extremely difficult for people and vehicles to move. Selling agricultural products is also a big challenge for local people here. Many families had to travel 6-7km to transport agricultural products to other localities but could only sell them at a low price, just over 3,000 VND/kg of corn.

The inconvenience of roads also directly affects the learning of students in the area. Many days, children go to school and return with their bodies covered in mud because they fall on the road. Many children often miss school, especially on rainy days.

Nowadays, the narrow, dusty, muddy roads of the past have been replaced by concrete roads. The face of the local countryside is changing rapidly.

People in ethnic minority areas in Dak Lak focus on developing key crops.

Mr. Minh explained: "When the new rural roads are concreted, it not only makes people's travel more convenient, but also opens up many new opportunities for local people. People no longer have to transport agricultural products to other localities to sell like before, but sell them right in the garden, at high prices. Since then, people's lives have also been improved and enhanced. Being able to travel on spacious concrete roads, students in the area are excited to go to school every day, compete with each other to study and there is no longer a situation of skipping school like before."
