In economic development, Hoai Duc has made great strides. Head of the Economic Department of Hoai Duc district Khuat Trong Kien said that when the new rural construction program began, the district's agricultural production was still fragmented and small-scale.

But up to now, in the district, specialized agricultural production areas with high economic value have been formed, such as growing safe vegetables in Tien Yen, Van Con, and Song Phuong communes; organic grapefruit in Cat Que, Yen So, and Duong Lieu communes; guava and apple in Song Phuong, Di Trach, and Kim Chung communes.

Currently, Hoai Duc has 72.87 hectares of vegetables and fruit trees certified for safety, VietGAP and assigned growing area codes to serve domestic consumption and export. The income value in agricultural production reaches 500 - 700 million VND/ha/year.

In industrial and handicraft development, Hoai Duc district always creates favorable conditions for enterprises to develop. The whole district has 9 industrial clusters, 12 traditional craft villages with sustainable development with nearly 400 enterprises and more than 7,900 production and business households operating effectively, creating jobs for more than 44,000 workers with income from 6-12 million VND/person/month.

According to the statistics of the District People's Committee, the total capital mobilized to implement the New Rural Construction Program (from 2012 to 2024) is more than 12,574,633 million VND. Of which, the capital contributed by organizations, enterprises and people is more than 1,432.55 billion VND (11.39%). Thanks to that financial investment, up to now, Hoai Duc has 19/19 communes meeting advanced New Rural standards, 7/19 communes meeting model New Rural standards.

In 2020, the district no longer had poor households; by September 2024, the district no longer had near-poor households, the appearance of residential areas was spacious, and the material and spiritual life of the people was increasingly improved.

Determined to soon become a district

On December 31, 2024, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha signed Decision No. 1695/QD-TTg, recognizing Hoai Duc district as meeting advanced NTM standards in 2023. This is a worthy achievement for the joint efforts of the Party Committee, government and people of Hoai Duc, and is also an important premise for the district to continue completing the ward and district criteria.

According to the review results, up to now the district has achieved 29/31 criteria for establishing a district; after adjusting administrative boundaries according to regulations, merging Tram Troi town with Duc Giang commune, Dac So commune with Tien Yen commune, Duong Lieu commune with Minh Khai commune, the district will have 17/17 wards expected to have achieved 12/13 and 13/13 standards on infrastructure development level for wards according to the standards of special urban areas.

In the coming time, Hoai Duc district will continue to maintain and improve the quality of criteria for communes and districts that meet advanced NTM standards, urban-oriented models with the goal of promoting trade and service development. Promote cultural values, national identity, landscapes, bright, green, clean, beautiful, civilized rural spaces and complete the remaining 2/31 criteria according to regulations.
