The implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural development for the 2021–2025 period in Hoa Binh has so far achieved significant progress, with 110 communes fulfilling Criterion No. 13 on production organisation and rural economic development, accounting for 85.3% of the province’s total.
Through linked production
and distribution chains, traditional brocade weaving products from Hang Kia and
Pa Co communes in Mai Chau district are sold well, raising local people's incomes.
Mai Chau district has excelled in meeting
Criterion No. 13, with its all 15 communes achieving the standard. This success
is partially attributed to local efforts to develop e-commerce systems, which
create favourable conditions for businesses, cooperatives, and producers to
join production-consumption linkages, facilitating goods circulation and
production. Related initiatives have initially led to the development of
websites and QR codes by businesses and cooperatives, financial support from
the district for those adopting scientific and technological advancements in
production and marketing, and the introduction of high-quality local products
to supermarket chains and e-commerce platforms.
Localities across the province are focusing on
implementing Criterion No. 13 and Component No. 3 of the national target
programme, with Hoa Binh further prioritising agricultural restructuring and
promoting the "One Commune, One Product" (OCOP) programme.
It is also an increasing number of local
economic models involving production and product consumption linkages.
According to the local rural development sub-department, these models have
optimised resource utilisation, improved economic efficiency, and boosted
incomes for local residents, while paving the way for sustainable agricultural
growth.
Currently, the province boasts 158 OCOP products
with 3-star and 4-star ratings. The diversification of distribution channels,
particularly the development of e-commerce, has met market demands, enabling
localities to expand production, enhance concentrated material zones, and
strengthen the agricultural sector. These efforts align with the broader goal
of agricultural restructuring.
In the time to come, the province plans to
intensify the harmonious implementation of production and rural economic
development solutions, aiming to meet and surpass the key targets set by the
national target programme.
After more than four years of implementing a project launched by the Hoa Binh Party Committee’s Standing Board on developing agriculture and promoting product consumption linked with building new-style rural areas for the 2021-2025 period, the province’s industry and trade sector has made significant strides, greatly contributing to local socio-economic development.
Luong Son district has identified 2025 as the year for the accelerated breakthrough to successfully implement the socio-economic development plan for the 5-year period from 2021 to 2025. The district has been focusing on executing the plans and trying to achieve a GRDP growth rate of approximately 15%.
Since the beginning of this year, under the direction of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the Sub-Department of Agricultural, Forestry, and Fishery Product Quality Management has strengthened the integration of the professional activities to promote and guide the organizations and individuals in the production and trading of agricultural, forestry, and fishery products to comply with the legal regulations regarding the use of chemicals, pesticides and veterinary medicines in crop cultivation, livestock farming and aquaculture. They also provide guidance to processing and manufacturing establishments on keeping the records to trace the product origins and using food additives from the approved list according to the regulations.

Ha Thi Ha Chi, a 26-year-old graduate in law, has taken an unconventional path by returning to her hometown in Mai Chau district to establish the Tong Dau Cooperative, creating stable jobs for local women and bringing Thai ethnic brocade weaving to the global market.
As the Lunar New Year 2025 approached, pork prices surged, creating a profitable season for farmers in Tan Vinh commune, Luong Son district.
