Having implemented a project on developing the agro-forestry sector and capitalising on the locality’s potential and strengths to produce goods in value chain, Kim Boi district of Hoa Binh province has generated jobs for local residents, helping them to create sustainable livelihoods.
Acacia seedlings are provided for local farmers.
Kim Lap, a remote commune with more than 90% of its population being ethnic minority people, built a cross-bred cow farming project worth over 400 million VND (15,700 USD), providing calves and technical training for 48 poor and near-poor households. Thanks to the model, many locals have escaped poverty.
Striving to become a new-style rural commune in 2024, Thach Yen has integrated various resources to help its residents improve incomes. During 2022-2023, it joined hands with competent divisions of the district to support job transition for rural youths, development of pig farming for impoverished households, and acacia seedlings for those in difficulties.
Vice Chairman of the communal People’s Committee Bui Van Hau said local ethnic minority people have also received assistance in economic management and introduction of products to the market.
According to Nguyen Van Tien, an official from the province’s board for ethnic minority affairs, Hoa Binh is carrying out various projects to create sustainable livelihoods for its residents. As of April, more than 94.14 billion VND was disbursed for them, or 44.55% of the allocated capital.
With the money, the board has worked closely with relevant sides to improve the efficiency of the local production, prioritising support for agricultural cooperatives to apply advanced technologies and promote value chain.
To date, localities have successfully developed over 30 cooperative brands such as Mai Chau purple garlic, Pa Co – Hang Kia black chicken, Muong Dong bamboo-tube rice, and Son Thuy longan. Production linkages have been maintained, bringing high revenue to firms and cooperatives, he said.
On May 15, the Hoa Binh Steering Committee for Science, Technology, Innovation, and Digital Transformation launched the "Digital Literacy for All” movement. The event was held both in-person and virtually, connecting provincial authorities with district-level Party committees and local communities across communes, wards, and townships.
The People’s Committee of Hoa Binh province on May 16 held a conference to honour outstanding intellectuals for their contributions in 2025.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee has held a conference to announce the provincial Party Committee’s decision about the merger of Hoa Binh Newspaper and the provincial Radio and Television Station, along with the Standing Board’s appointment decisions.
After the historic victory on April 30, 1975, which liberated the South and reunified the country, the whole Vietnam embarked on a new mission — promoting peace and reconstructing the nation with century-defining projects. On the fierce Da River, over 30,000 engineers, sappers, and construction workers battled against rocky mountains and raging floods to achieve a remarkable feat. The Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant, the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia at that time, officially began generating electricity, lighting up the North and ushering in a new era of industrialisation.
Muong Dong in Kim Boi district, one of the four major Muong regions in Hoa Binh province, is harnessing its revolutionary legacy and cultural heritage to drive socio-economic transformation.
Throughout April, the joyful atmosphere of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification spread nationwide. Together with the whole country, residents in Hoa Binh city also expressed their patriotism through meaningful and practical actions.
