Specific use land measures 50.53 hectares; residential land 50.93 hectares and unused land 180.19 hectares (2.17 hectares of unused water surface and 178.02 hectares of rivers and ditches).

Agricultural land makes up 59.45 percent, of which 219.53 hectares of perennials, mainly 3-crop rice paddy land, garden land for vegetables and perennial growing and water surface for aquaculture, with low rates of land use. Due to the impacts of the market, weather conditions and investment levels crop productivity and yield are not very high and there are constant changes in perennial area.

+ Specific use land occupies 7.27 percent and tends to increase annually due to the demand for infrastructure for production and life.

Residential land: the area of residential land accounts for 7.33 percent and scatters across hamlets. As the population grows, land barely meets current demands and needs appropriate adjustments in the near future.

Unused land: occupying 25.94 percent, of which unused water surface area covers 2.17 hectares, with 178.02 percent of rivers and cannels.

Overall evaluation: Identifying the local economic structure as trade and service, and agriculture along with a vision to eco-tourism, striving to construct and develop the rural agricultural commune of Hiep Hoa toward Industrialization and Modernization, mobilizing all resources of the locality along with the support of the province and the city to continue investing in completing infrastructure such as bridges, roads, water and electricity, schools, healthcare, and environmental sanitation, etc.

The land potential of the commune is still quite large in terms of agriculture, forestry and fishery as well as infrastructure development, and business development, especially abilities to develop and expand the cultivatable area if investment would be poured into some irrigation works, developing industrial crops, fruit trees and strengthening the development of cattle raising, combining with eco-tourism development, enhancing support services in order to improve the people’s life.

3.  Tourist attractions

There are two relics, including the Shrine of Monsignor Nguyen Huu Canh and Dai Giac Co Tu Pagoda. Regarding tourist service zones, there are Long Quoi Thon Trang ecotourism site and three restaurants combined with recreational fishing. Conditions enabling the commune to develop into a tourist service area are opening up a strong development path for it. However, current investment has not met the requirements of development.

4. Transport & Electricity

As an islet commune located on Dong Nai River, the main transport system of the commune has to pass Rach Cat and Ghenh bridges on Highway 1A to connect with the outside. The inter-hamlet main roads of 5.7 km have been 80 percent asphalted. In addition, there are two small wharves namely An Hao and Kho, facilitating people’s travel. Regarding the internal road system, there are 3.4 km of large alley roads (21 percent asphalted) and 11.3 km of small alley roads. In general, the transportation system meets the travel needs of people but due to the limit of the two bridges and railways, it has not facilitated production development (as large loads cannot access the commune).

The national grid has to date supplied electricity to over 99 percent of households in the commune, improving living and studying conditions.

5. Communications

Currently Hiep Hoa commune has a telecommunication station and the cable system covers the whole commune, so communication is very convenient.

6. Mineral resources

Due to its geographical structure, the locality’s rare and precious mineral resources have not been found so far. Sand and gravel are mainly used as building materials but have been exploited on a small scale.

7. Traditional products and craft

Currently local products are mainly fruit trees such as pomelo, durian and others.​
