(HBO) – Thanks to the development of cattle farming, many disadvantaged households in Da Bac district of Hoa Binh province have gradually escaped from poverty and become bright examples of agricultural production.
Luong Van Suong, a resident in Na Loc hamlet of Dong
Chum commune (Da Bac district), is running a household-scale farm of 100 cows.
Over the past years, Da Bac has effectively
implemented the district Party Committee’s Resolution No 06-NQ/HU on developing
cattle farming, thereby creating momentum for animal husbandry.
Programmes and projects have been carried out to
form cattle fattening models, transfer scientific and technological advances,
and conduct cross-breeding to improve the breeding herd. The number of
cross-bred cattle is now accounting for some 35 percent of the total cattle
population.
Local farmers have also promoted the cultivation
of plants as feed for cattle, the use of agricultural by-products in cattle farming,
and disease prevention and control measures.
After nine years of implementing Resolution No
06-NQ/HU, the local animal husbandry sector has gained new strides forward. In
particular, the numbers of farmed buffalos and cows have surpassed annual targets,
with 9,052 buffalos and 9,415 cows at present.
Statistics show that animal husbandry generated
almost 385.28 billion VND (nearly 16.8 million USD) for the district by the end
of 2020. A number of concentrated cattle farming models have taken shape.
The achievements obtained so far showed that
promoting cattle farming is a breakthrough step in socio-economic development
in Da Bac, helping to fuel agricultural and rural development in the district
in the Doi moi (Renewal) period./.
After three years of implementing the Politburo’s Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW on continuing performing Directive 05-CT/TW on enhancing the learning and studying of President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, moral example and lifestyle, Lac Thuy district of Hoa Binh province has discovered many effective models and practices, creating a spillover effect in the local community, helping to develop a clean and strong Party Organisation meeting the requirements in the new situation.
The Hoa Binh Elderly Association and the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs on May 7 held a working session with a visiting delegation from the Japanese Embassy and sponsors of a local project on reducing senior citizens’ income and health vulnerabilities in Vietnam (VIE071).
Seventy years have passed, but the memories of the Dien Bien Phu campaign in 1954 have never faded in the mind of veteran Ly Van Ngoan from Dong Tien hamlet, Phu Thanh commune, Lac Thuy district.
Over recent times, in Mai Chau district, there have been many typical examples of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and lifestyle in all aspects of the social life, contributing to successfully implementing the tasks of socio-economic development, and ensuring social welfare and defence and security in the locality.
