(HBO) – Over the past years, all-level Party Committees and authorities of Lac Thuy district have viewed ensuring food security as a task of special significance.
Farmers in Residential Area No. 5, Chi Ne township, Lac Thuy district, utilise mechanisation in rice harvesting.
Residential Area No. 5 has 25 hectares of farming land with 85 farming households that have actively restructured plant cultivation, using high-yield and high-quality rice varieties.
Under a scheme on agricultural restructuring for 2021-2025, Lac Thuy’s total farming land is maintained at 9,300 hectares and cultivation accounts for 51.3% of the local agro-forestry-fishery sector.
The district has also promoted the organic vegetable farming model, under which farmers, cooperatives, production groups and businesses are connected with each other, with a total area of 155 hectares, covering Chi Ne and Ba Hang Doi townships, and Dong Tam, Phu Nghia and Thong Nhat communes. Meanwhile, the area of fruit trees stands at over 1,490 hectares.
The locality has successfully rolled out the production and consumption model of Bac Huong 9 – a high-quality variety – with an area of 100 hectares in Thong Nhat, Khoan Du and Phu Thanh communes, raising the area of high-quality rice varieties to 750 hectares, making up 23% of the combined rice area in the district.
Lac Thuy orange, chicken, custard-apple, goat and tea are now major brands of the district.
Hoang Thi Thu Hang, Vice Chairwoman of the district People’s Committee, said Lac Thuy has implemented a plan on ensuring food security towards green agriculture, climate change adaptation, sustainable development and environmental protection.
Lac Thuy will adjust and supplement the land use planning scheme to better serve the agro-forestry-fishery sector in line with regulations, and attract investors in agriculture and rural development, she said./.
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.
