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.

The Hoa Binh Steering Committee for the organisation of the fourth provincial congress of ethnic minority groups held a meeting on October 29 to discuss the progress of preparations for the congress. Dinh Cong Su, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee and head of the Steering Committee chaired the event. The congress is slated for November 14-15 at the provincial Cultural Palace, expecting 250 official delegates.
Despite a low starting point, the mountainous district of Mai Chau has effectively implemented the National Target Programme on New Rural Development, resulting in significant improvements in people’s life and rural look.
Over the past years, Hoa Binh has systematically implemented the one-stop-shop and interconnected one-stop-shop mechanisms in processing administrative procedures, contributing to improving the efficiency of the work while promoting online public services.
