The handover ceremony was held on July 21 and jointly organized by the Department of Rural Development and Poverty Reduction under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment and the Foreign Aid Project Development Center for Rural Revitalization of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China.
The project, funded through a grant from the Chinese government, was implemented from June 2024 to June 2026.
According to project officials, household incomes increased significantly during implementation, with earnings from crop cultivation and agricultural processing rising by 50 percent, while gardeners' incomes increased by 46 percent.
The project also delivered key infrastructure, including three modern greenhouses, upgraded roads, a clean water reservoir system, a cold storage facility, and a village office to improve agricultural production and market access.
More than 1,300 training opportunities were provided for government officials, village leaders, and farmers to strengthen technical skills and support sustainable rural development.
In addition, the village's vegetable producers obtained Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) certification and received an official product logo from the Vientiane Capital Department of Industry and Commerce, helping improve product quality and consumer confidence.
At the ceremony, Thadsaka Saphanthong, Director General of the Department of Rural Development and Poverty Reduction, thanked the Chinese government and all partners for their support and urged local authorities and residents to preserve the project's achievements and expand its successful model to other communities.
