(HBO) - The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of northern Hoa Binh province will invest nearly 3 billion VND (129,000 USD) to implement a safe vegetable production and distribution project in value chain for 2018-2020.
Under a decision of the provincial People’s Committee, the
investment is sourced from the budget of the national target programme on
building new-style rural areas and the corresponding capital of cooperatives
joining the project.
In
2019-2020, the project receives 1.23 billion VND (52,890 USD) from the national
target programme on building new-style rural areas and the corresponding
capital from cooperatives and locals directly participating in the project.
The project will be carried out on nearly 66
hectares. Two cooperatives joining production are Thanh An organic agriculture
cooperative (Nhuan Trach commune, Luong Son district) and Tay Bac safe
vegetable cooperative (Quyet Chien commune, Tan Lac district). The first
distribution partners are TH True Milk and Institute of Organic
Agricultural Economics.
Cooperatives joining the project will be
supported to build new-style agricultural cooperative models and implement safe
vegetable production chain to Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices (VietGAP).
Afterward, they will be assisted in developing brands and links with businesses
to sell products through economic contracts.
By December 2020, the project will be completed
and expanded across the province./.
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.
