(HBO) – During the 2015-2020 tenure, thanks to the attention and support from the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, People’s Council, People’s Committee and departments, the Party organisation, administration and people of Yen Thuy district have managed to overcome difficulties and challenges in implementing the resolution of the district’s 20th Party Congress, thereby achieving and surpassing all the 16 targets set in this resolution.
The Party and political system building has been continuously enhanced
over the past years. As a result, the local Party organisation’s leadership
capacity, along with cadres and Party members’ quality, has been promoted to
meet requirements for task performance in the new context. The effectiveness
and efficiency of State agencies’ management and the quality of civil servants
have improved while the role of local Vietnam Fatherland Front committees and
socio-political organisations in strengthening the great unity bloc has been
brought into play.
The economic structure in Yen Thuy has been
shifted in the right direction, local infrastructure developed, and
improvements recorded in cultural and social aspects. Besides, defence,
political security, and social order and safety have been guaranteed.
Thanks to drastic directions by all-level Party
committees and authorities, as well as the unanimity and support of people from
all social strata and businesses, between 2015 and 2020, the district has
recorded relatively comprehensive economic development.
The average production value has grown by 7.84
percent. Agriculture, forestry and fisheries now account for 30.53 percent of
the local economy, industry and construction 38.54 percent, and services 30.93
percent. Value added per capita is currently estimated at 41.06 million VND
(nearly 1,800 USD). Additionally, people’s living standards have increased
considerably, with the household poverty rate brought down to 8.7
percent.
State budget revenue has continually been 24.4
percent higher than the annual targets set by the provincial People’s
Committee. The district aims to collect 186.5 billion VND for the State budget
in 2020, rising five-fold from the tenure’s beginning.
Implementing the two resolutions on developing agriculture
and effectively using soil maps, local people have carried out land
consolidation in association with forming high-quality large-scale fields and
specialised farming zones. They have also built and expanded cooperation models
for crop and animal husbandry, thus creating breakthroughs in raising
productivity, product quality, and value per farming unit and connecting
production and consumption.
Agro-forestry-fishery production value has
increased by 3.94 percent annually on average and by 21.3 percent from 2015.
Notably, in December 2019, the district held a
ceremony to announce the certification mark of Yen Thuy pomelo, which is an
important condition for advertising the fruit, promoting investment and trade,
and seeking stable markets for the produce.
While trading infrastructure has been upgraded,
trading activities and services have also been diversified, basically meeting
consumers’ need.
The district has also paid attention to
investment attraction and enterprise development. Yen Thuy now houses 13
businesses and 96 branches and representative offices of companies with their
charter capital totaling about 1.3 trillion VND, creating jobs for more than
3,100 people. There are currently 22 projects with investment certificates here
whose combined registered capital exceeds 7.2 trillion VND.
Additionally, the local collective economy has
been thriving. The 62 cooperative groups and cooperatives in Yen Thuy are creating
over 2,000 jobs. There are also many new-style cooperatives that have joined
value chains, applied VietGAP standards to production activities and had their
products recognised in the "One Commune, One Product” programme.
Carrying out the national target programme for
new-style rural area building, three communes in Yen Thuy have been named
new-style rural areas in the 2015-2020 tenure, bringing the total communes
earning the title here to six. On average, each commune has met 16.5 out of the
19 new-style rural area standards, six criteria more than that at the beginning
of the tenure, and no communes have satisfied less than 10 criteria.
Apart from economic attainments, Yen Thuy has
also obtained great strides in cultural and social aspects. Schools have been
expanded and upgraded while educational quality continually improved. So far,
26 of the 39 local schools have met national standards. Public health care has
also been promoted. Meanwhile, poverty reduction and social welfare programmes
have proved fruitful.
For the time ahead, Yen Thuy is set to press on
with improving its Party organisation’s leadership capacity; bringing into play
democracy, solidarity and wisdom; mobilising and effectively capitalising on
resources for socio-economic development; and combining the development of
economy, culture and society with the protection of the environment, the
ensuring of social security, and the guaranteeing of political stability and
social order and safety. It aims to be recognised as a new-style rural district
by the end of 2025./.

The air is thick with the hum of drills and the clatter of machinery as the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau expressway takes shape amid the rugged terrain. Welding sparks illuminate the faces of workers, and concrete mixers churn relentlessly, laying fresh pavement on the newly-carved road. The construction site buzzes with a palpable sense of urgency, particularly in Hoa Binh province where the expressway's future is being forged.
The northern province of Hoa Binh, with over 467,000 hectares of natural forest and more than 100,000 hectares of production forest, holds significant potential for carbon credit market development.
Replacing substandard houses with more sturdy ones by June 30 is the direction given by Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, at a meeting held in early March by the provincial Steering Committee for the programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for the needy.
