three-star OCOP status is expected to be upgraded to the four-star level this
year.
Luong Son is striving to upgrade products of
Viba Banana Cooperative in Lien Son commune from three-star to four-star at the
provincial level, and develop four-star OCOP products like orange of Cao Ram
agriculture and trade service co-operative, tea of My Tan agriculture
co-operative in Cao Duong commune, longan of Vai Dao agriculture cooperative in
Cao Son commune, and cao xa den (scientifically known as Celastrus hindsii
Benth) of a local household in Cao Duong commune.
To realise the targets, since the beginning of
this year, the district People’s Committee has monitored the performance of the
cooperatives and household, and guided them to complete relevant dossiers.
For fresh products, the committee has helped the
cooperatives and household with necessary papers to win VietGap certificate and
others on safe, organic production, packaging and product code.
The district has also coordinated with units and
businesses in and outside the province to support the cooperatives and
household in market seeking amid COVID-19./.
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.
