(HBO) – In recent years, An Binh Commune (Lac Thuy) has formed many models of farming economy and household farming for high and stable incomes. These models are increasingly expanding and developing, contributing to the local people's income, promoting the local advantages, increasing the competitiveness of mechandises in the market.

Dinh Ngoc Vung’s Japfa White Chicken Raising
Farm, Cay Ruong Village, An Binh Commune (Lac Thuy) brings the income of
300-400 million VND per year.
The whole commune has nearly 100 models of
farming economy, household farming from small to large scale. Poultry farming
is a local strength with a total of 220,000 animals. There are 63 household
farms raising Lac Thuy small chickens with the size of about 500 chickens per
farm; 11 Japfa white chicken raising farms with the scale of more than 10,000
chickens per farm. Especially, there are 4 chicken farms which are granted with
the certificate of average income of over 525 million VND per year by the District
People’s Committee. In the commune, there appeared many good and typical
farmers such as Mr. Bui Dong Giang (An Son 1 village) with small chicken farms
which brings 1 billion VND per year; Mr. Bui Van Chung (Ninh Ngoai village)
with raising small chicken model for the income of 700-800 million VND per
year; Mr. Dinh Ngoc Vung (Cay Ruong village) with the model of raising Japfa
white chicken, which brings the income of 300-400 million VND per year; Mr.
Dinh Van Binh with 2,000 small chicken farm, earning 100-150 million VND per
year, etc.
Visiting Mr. Dinh Ngoc Vung’s Japfa raising
white chicken farm, he said, "Developing a farm model gave my family a high and stable economic
productivity. Thanks to the good use of all the loan resources, bold investment
in production, applying science and technology in breeding, strict compliance
with regulations on food hygiene and safety, the model of raising 8,000 white
chicken brings the income for the family from 300-400 million VND per year
".
To make full use of the potential land of the
hills and forests with animal husbandry, towards building the brand of clean
products, the number of livestock raised in the commune has developed in terms
of scale and quality. Currently, the total number of buffaloes in the commune
is 1,573, up to 103.2% in comparison with the same period; the number of goats
has gone up to 1.616, 616 goats higher compared with 2016. The poultry number
has increased remarkably with nearly 220,000 animals, reaching at 332.7% over
the same period. In addition, the local people in the commune began to develop
and multiply the model of raising honey bee up to 928 herds, which is estimated
to reach at 6.5 tons of honey per year.
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.
