(HBO) – In a bid to step up the local "One Commune One Product (OCOP)” programme, authorities at all levels in Cao Phong district have actively run communication campaigns, complied dossiers, and rated OCOP products since 2019, hence an increase in production value and people’s incomes.
OCOP oranges for luxury gifts of the 3T Cao Phong
agricultural cooperative are certified with four stars.
Currently, the district has eight OCOP products, including
four-star rated ones like fermented orange juice and oranges by the Ha Phong
cooperative, and luxury orange gifts by the 3T Cao Phong agricultural
cooperative, as well as three-star rated ones like orange juice and wine by the
Ha Phong cooperative, among others.
Vu Thi Le Thuy, Director of the 3T Cao Phong agricultural
cooperative said the production and harvest of its VietGAP-certificated oranges
comply with strict technical regulations. To enhance the fruit’s value added,
the cooperative has launched its high-class OCOP gift product, which is
associated with an organic production chain for a green living environment. The
product got a 3-star ranking in 2019, and was upgraded to 4 stars in 2020.
Bui Van Dan, Head of the Cao Phong Department of Agriculture
and Rural Development, said the Ha Phong and Cao Phong cooperatives produce
seven out of the district’s eight OCOP products, reflecting the leading role of
the cooperative model in the local OCOP programme.
Currently, the local People’s Committee has built a plan for
OCOP products development for 2021 – 2025, which will see up to two new
products developed. During the period, relevant agencies will coordinate to
improve the local production capacity and product quality as well as promote
communications and trade activities./.
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.
