The Farmers' Association also needs to promote emulation movements associated with new rural construction, especially the movement "Farmers compete in good production and business, unite to help each other get rich and sustainably reduce poverty", attracting a large number of members, farmers from all regions, all ethnic groups, especially remote areas, and areas with many difficulties to participate; together build modern rural areas with synchronous socio-economic infrastructure; green, clean and beautiful environment; healthy and rich cultural life, imbued with national identity; political security, order and social safety are guaranteed, so that farmers in rural areas can have a better life.

Farmers must truly be the subject and center in developing agriculture, the rural economy, and building new rural areas. The Farmers' Association must pay special attention to the task of building the peasant class, consolidating a strong worker-farmer-intellectual alliance under the leadership of the Party and consider it a matter of principle and a foundation in the cause of "Great National Unity".
