Binh commune.

Agriculture and Rural Development Division Hoang Dinh Chinh said that the
People’s Committees of both Hoa Binh province and Lac Thuy district have
earmarked funds for product owners. As many as 600 million VND (25,680 USD) was
sourced from the Hoa Binh Provincial People Committee, of which half will be
for training courses while the rest will be used to support product owners in
building dossiers.
This year, the
district plans to organize five training courses for product owners,
authorities and leaders of local organisations.

provincial Department of Science and Technology presented 20 million VND to
each product owner to help them make origin-tracing stamps, packaging and
labelling.

produce their commodities under VietGAP standards with clear origins, as the
district eyes all of its OCOP products meeting the criteria./.
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.

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.
