(HBO) - In 2017-2020, Lac Thuy district has converted 264.75 hectares of poor production land to that for the cultivation of crops with higher economic efficiency such as maize, vegetable, tea, and fruits like oranges and grapefruits.
Members of women’s association in Phu Nghia
commune (Lac Thuy) actively change crop structure to raise incomes.
The total area for fruits has been expanded to
1,208 hectares, including 710 hectares for oranges, and 392 hectares for
grapefruits.
Production and consumption chains have been
established, and the application of science technology promoted, thus
increasing the added values of fruits. For example, one hectare of orange is
now worth 400 million VND (17,156 USD), and grapefruits 250 million VND.
In the 2021-2025 period, with a vision to 2030,
the district aims to continue converting over 221 hectares of rice, as well as
supporting farmers to build irrigation systems and sell products./.
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.
