(HBO) – In recent years, localities in Hoa Binh province have seen a rise of agricultural models applying new production and business methods which have generated high economic benefits. Catching up with scientific and technological progress, farmers of the new era are making changes to their mindset and working methods to move close to smart agriculture, thereby raising the quality and value of farm produce, improving living standards, and contributing to local development.

Recently, farmers’ unions at all levels in Hoa
Binh province have stepped up communications to encourage their members to
apply scientific and technological advances, switch from small-scale economic
models to large-scale and concentrated production ones, and develop different
business models. They have reformed activities; improved the quality and
effectiveness of services, counselling, and vocational training; assisted
farmers to boost production and business; and coordinated with relevant
agencies to guide the formation of crop and animal farming cooperatives and cooperative
groups.
Since the beginning of 2021, all-level farmers’
unions have worked with banks to lend more than 3.58 trillion VND (157 million
USD) to over 5,100 farming households.
They have proactively coordinated with relevant
departments, sectors, and enterprises to train their members in internet use,
clean agricultural production, and food safety. Member farmers have been
encouraged to adapt crop and livestock structures to market demand.
Thanks to a movement calling on local farmers to
emulate in production and business, a large number of exemplars have appeared.
Le Van Thach, Chairman of the provincial
Farmers’ Union, said thanks to effective conselling, vocational training, and
support activities, the number of profitable cooperative models in agricultural
production and business activities has been rising. Many households are running
large-scale production models that bring about annual income of 600 million -
1.2 billion VND and higher.
That has contributed to the shift of rural
labour and economic structures to promote mass production and social stability,
as well as to the enhancement of people’s trust in the Party, State, and
farmers’ unions’ leadership, he added.
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.
