(HBO) – Bui Van Tinh, Party Central Committee member and Secretary of the Party Committee of Hoa Binh province, made a field trip to sachi farms in Khang and Bua Lay hamlets, Dich Giao commune, Tan Lac district on November 14.
All parts of sachi (scientifically known as Plukenetia volubilis), including nuts, trunk, leaves and roots, can
be used to make food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. In April 2017,
with the support of INCA Vietnam JSC, households in Bua Lay hamlet, Dich Giao
commune, planted sachi trees on 1.2 hectares of land on a pilot basis. One year
later, they harvested nearly 1.3 tonnes of dried sachi nuts per ha, earning
some 80 million VND.
Each ha of sachi produces from 1-1.3 tonnes of dried nuts in the
first crop, and over 3 tonnes from the third crop. Annual profit is estimated
at an average 150-200 million Vietnam dong. Sachi’s advantage lies in the long
duration of nut harvesting which lasts for between 12 and 15 years. Sachi is
ready for harvest eight months after it is planted. The tree suits different
types of soil.
INCA Vietnam has supplied sachi saplings to local farmers and sent
technicians to guide them in how to cultivate and harvest sachi. Of note, the
company buys all products for farmers. The trial cultivation in Tam Lac
district has showed that sachi suits the local climate and soil.
Bui Van Tinh, Party Central
Committee member and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, visits a
sachi farm of INCA Vietnam in Khang hamlet, Dich Giao commune, Tan Lac
district.
Bui Van Tinh, Secretary of the
provincial Party Committee, visits and presents gifts to people in Khang hamlet,
Dich Giao commune, Tan Lac district.
INCA Vietnam aims to form a concentrated material zone of 500 ha
of sachi in Tan Lac district, along with building a factory to ensure
on-the-sport processing.
Tan Lac district will work to ensure the formation of the area
when INCA Vietnam makes legal commitments to buy all products for local
farmers.
On this occasion, Tinh presented a set of television to the
cultural house of Khang hamlet./.
Over recent years, the Farmers' Union of Mai Chau district has implemented numerous specific programmes and activities to support its members in developing products under the One Commune One (OCOP) programme. These efforts have contributed to enhancing local agricultural branding, increasing goods value, and improving incomes and living standards for residents.
Since 2022, the Hoa Binh Department of Education and Training has provided advice for the provincial People's Committee to issue Plan No. 219/KH-UBND on November 17, 2022, which outlines the implementation of a project titled "Enhancing the application of Information Technology (IT) and Digital Transformation in Education and Training for the 2022–2025 period, with a vision to 2030.” As of now, the local education sector has made significant progress in IT adoption and digital transformation.
Hoa Binh allocated over 30 trillion VND (nearly 1.18 billion USD) to develop infrastructure systems in ethnic minority and mountainous areas during 2019 - 2024. Priority was given to transport and irrigation infrastructure; markets; schools; medical stations; communal houses; and power grid, telecommunication, radio, and television systems.
The Hoa Binh provincial organising committee for anniversary activities on December 17 held a ceremony to unveil a ceramic mural on the local military-civilian ties and release a book on the Party and political work of the provincial armed forces during 1947 – 2024, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) and 35th anniversary of the All-People Defence Festival.
In recent years, Hoa Binh has allocated significant resources to foster cooperative economy, helping ethnic minorities capitalise on their potential and advantages to escape poverty.
As a mountainous district still facing numerous challenges, Da Bac has made notable progress in advancing administrative reforms across various areas. The district has prioritised reorganising and streamlining its administrative apparatus, operating "one-stop-shop” units, and applying information technology (IT) in the handling of administrative procedures. Efforts have also been directed toward upgrading infrastructure and equipment to enhance service quality for residents and businesses.
