During the spring crop, the district plans
to cultivate 4,290 ha, with 1,950 ha of rice, 1,740 ha of other crops, and 600
ha of other annual plants. The district has completed rice growing while about
22.7 percent of the crop area has been covered.
According to the district Division of
Agriculture and Rural Development, the cultivation has been conducted on
schedule, thanks to thorough preparations in varieties, materials and
fertilisers.
The prices of varieties and materials have
remained stable, with diverse types, ensuring the production progress. Luong
Son district has sown 60 tonnes of rice, all of which have been qualified.
Before devising the spring crop production
plan, the district People’s Committee had instructed communes and townships to review
the inefficient areas of rice and crops and replace them with higher-value
plants like galangal, lemongrass and vegetables.
Since the beginning of this year, the committee also adopted an anti-drought
plan, and asked communes and townships to outline irrigation plans for the
spring crop.
Nguyen Thi Hien from Phu Ngoc hamlet, Cu
Yen commune said this year’s spring weather is favourable to rice cultivation.
"My family began growing rice on the second
day of the lunar new year, and completed the work on the fifth day,” she said.
"This year, we have about 1,500 sq.m of rice.”
Apart from farming, the husbandry,
aquaculture and forestry production have also developed stably.
The district counts 13,051 buffaloes and cows, 46,704 pigs, and 1.3 million
fowls, with no major diseases on the livestock and poultry.
Localities expect to have 360 ha of
aquatic products. Meanwhile, about 9,000 trees have been grown across the
district.
Luong Son has made good performance in
forest management and protection, with no fires and violations of the Law on
Forest Protection and Development.
Product consumption chains have been
formed in the district in order to promote local products like organic vegetables,
citrus and banana. Cooperatives and cooperative groups have worked to win the
OCOP title for their products.
Nguyen Duc Anh, Vice Chairman of the district
People’s Committee, said the district is resolved to maintain and promote the
quality of new-style rural communes and advanced new-style rural communes this
year.
It aims to have two additional advanced
new-style rural communes and two model new-style rural communes in the year,
and more than two products winning the provincial-level OCOP status in the
year. /.
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.
