(HBO) - Phu Lai commune (Yen Thuy) began to carry out the land regrouping in 2015. From the small and scattered fields, now they have become large, flat and fields with more models of high-efficiency crops, helping a lot of families escape from poverty, enriching from agricultural land.
The farmers in Ha hamlet, Phu Lai commune (Yen Thuy) have put mechanization into the agricultural production.
Before the land regrouping, most of the agricultural households in Phu Lai commune had from 5 to 6 plots, and some had up to 11 plots. Most of them were small, fragmented, locating far from each other, which caused difficulties in applying scientific and technological advances to production. Thereby, it took more effort for the people to cultivate. In order to overcome this situation, in 2015, the Party Committee and the appropriate authorities of the commune implemented the land regrouping. Tan and Ha hamlets were the first two villages to pilot the land regrouping in the commune.
Ms. Pham Thi Hien, the Chairwoman of the Commune’s Farmers' Union says when starting the implementation of the land regrouping, the Party Committee and the appropriate authorities of the commune assigned tasks to the associations and the unions so that they coordinated together. However, during the implementation process, there were many difficulties, mainly due to the limited awareness of the people. The Farmers' Union of the commune promoted the propaganda and the mobilization so that farmers could understand the benefits of the land grouping. They actively trained, guided and introduced people to the scientific and technological applications and mechanization in the production. As a result, it made the land grouping convenient because the farmers in 8 out of the 8 hamlets supported and agreed with the guidelines and policies of the province, the district as well as the localities.
Up to now, after more than a year of completing the land grouping, 3,075 plots have been grouped into 1,032 plots, the commune has 1 - 3 plots a household on average. The largest plot is 1,080 m2, the smallest is 360 m2. Promoting the effectiveness of the land grouping, the commune's food grain production has reached 254.66 tons every year. The average annual income has been nearly 40 million VND a person and the poverty rate is now only 6.02%.
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.
