Mr. Nguyen Anh Duc, the Head of Luong Son Department of Agriculture and Rural Development says that Luong Son People's Committee has been determined to build the production chain towards good agricultural practices (VietGAP), ensuring food safety, with the non-business capital and production support capital under the Program of the New Rural Construction.
Specifically, Luong Son district has supported nearly 200 million VND for Vai Dao Cooperative of Agriculture and Trade Service to build VietGAP label chain. They have supported 99 million VND for Thuan Phat Cooperative of Agriculture and Service to build and certify the chicken chain under VietGAP standard. They have also supported 103 million VND for Tan Thanh cooperative to build and certify pomelo under VietGAP standard. Supporting the businesses and the cooperatives is to promote the consumption and create the safe production and supply areas.
Meeting VietGAP standards, the label products of Vai Dao Cooperative of Agriculture and Trade Service, Cao Ram commune (Luong Son) has been consumed well in the market.
Luong Son district has also created conditions for businesses and cooperatives to introduce, promote the products, associate with the enterprises for the product distribution and consumption. Happily, since the chains have been built so far, the difficulties in consuming products have been basically solved. There is no situation of products which are produced but they cannot be consumed or the price fluctuations and the consumption must be done in the free market. In particular, some agricultural production cooperatives have signed big consumption contracts such as Tan Thanh agricultural cooperative.
In 2019, VietGAP agricultural value chains have been continuing to maintain and promote the efficiency. On the other hand, the district is implementing the steps to implement the project of improving and developing the beef cattle in 10 communes in association with the program of new rural construction. The district has deployed the value chains into a brand-building plan for the local strong agricultural products and promoted the OCOP Program, creating an advantageous product for each commune.
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.
