production value.
The province has benefited from agricultural and
rural projects as parts of the Ministry of Science and Technology’s programmes
aiming to accelerate technology transfer and apply science and technology to
boost socio-economic development in rural and mountainous areas.
From 2011 – 2020, Hoa Binh implemented four
national science-technology tasks with total budget of 18.43 billion VND from
the central budget, including the pilot production of medicinal plants in Lac
Thuy District, preservation of genetic resources of "tai chua" plant
(garcinia cowa), application of biological measures to prevent certain pests on
orange and tangerine roots, and drafting a proposal for long-term population
resettlement and solutions for effective management of land in areas vulnerable
to natural disasters and climate change.
The accomplishment of the national tasks has
played a part in reducing poverty and minimizing impacts of natural disasters,
and pest and disease control in the province, helping it enhance productivity
and develop commodity production zones.
In addition, the province has implemented 17
projects under the programme supporting the application and transfer of
technological advances for socio-economic development in rural and mountainous
areas with total budget of close to 106 billion VND. The projects mainly focus
on the areas of agriculture and rural development to help create farming
practices using advanced and scalable techniques.
During the past 2 years, the province has
carried out a project to boost agricultural growth and develop livelihood for
natural disaster-affected people across 13 communes and townships and 91
villages in Da Bac District. Many other projects have also proved effective in
other localities in recent years.
