(HBO) - As a typical farmer doing good business in the locality, Mr. Ly Van Diem in Ngoc Ha village, Hop Thanh commune (Ky Son) owns a comprehensive economic model for earning hundreds of millions of dongs a year. As a person interested in researching, he actively explored and decided to grow sachi trees to develop family economics.
The model of planting sachi of Mr. Ly Van Diem’s family in
Ngoc Ha village, Hop Thanh commune (Ky Son) initially brought high economic
efficiency.
Taking us to the garden, pointing at the green
sachi trees, Mr. Diem shared: Through researching via the internet, books,
newspapers and visiting models inside and outside the province, recognizing
that sachi trees would bring a high economic value while only investing to
plant once but for many years. If science and technology are applied properly
in planting and caring, the tree will certainly grow well, without pestilent
problems, the economic efficiency will surely be high. After being trained in
techniques of planting, caring and pest controlling, in April, 2017, he bravely
participated in the model of planting sachi plants invested and sponsored by
Inca Vietnam joint Stock Company. He started to improve and convert 1 hectare
of inefficient garden land and sugarcane planting land into planting 2,000
sachi trees.
Sachi is a multi-use plant that can be utilized
most parts of the plant for processing food, cosmetics and even
pharmaceuticals. Being the first person in the local to riskily choose new
varieties for economic development, he is sometimes worried about the
efficiency and quality of the plant. However, the trees quite fits with the
land and the climate in the mountain, the sachi garden gradually grows, every
tree grows to develop branches, shoots, strong leaves. After more than half a
year, the leaves were able to be harvested and fortune-fruit began. Post -
harvested products are consumed by the company. Up to now, Mr. Diem’s family
has collected the leaves for three times to give the company for sale at 10,000
VND / kg fresh leaves and 40,000 VND / kg dry leaves. Because of new planted
trees, the fruit was only fortune collected, so far, so he collected 20 kg of
fruit in the first harvest, with the price of 30,000 VND / kg dry fruit and
50,000 VND / kg seeds. "Sachi is a year-round harvesting crop with a
year-on-year increase in crop yields and a stable price for the company. Only
in the first year, my family could earn more than ten million dongs. With this
trend, we can get back our investment soon and have our profits in some years
only”- Mr. Diem confirmed.
Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
