(HBO) – Smoother roads, busy trading activities and services, and prosperous villages with better economic conditions were our impression as we visited mountainous areas in Tan Lac in early Autumn when locals were busy preparing for the National Day festival.
In the summer-autumn crop this year,
farmers in mountainous communes of Tan Lac enjoyed bumper rice, maze and
chayote harvests. Their rice production was estimated at 0.56 tonne per
hectare. Maze farms, mostly in Quyet Chien, Lung Van, Ngo Luong and Bac Son
communes, also produced 0.55 tonne per hectares.
Chayote hub Quyet Chien, thanks to the
reform of cultivation technique and the application of VietGap standards, as
well as the formation of a cooperative, has developed its trademark and created
a sustainable agricultural value chain.
Tan Lac chayote vines have been put on
sale at big markets, and accessed restaurants and supermarkets in Hanoi and
some other provinces and cities. Therefore, economic conditions in Tan Lac have
been improved, increasing locals’ income and raising their living conditions,
especially among ethnic minority groups.

Improvement in infrastructure, health
care, socio-cultural system as well as stable security and order in mountainous
communes was another positive sign of the area. Statistics from the district’s
Office of Ethnic Affairs show that in 2017, 35 infrastructure works and
projects were built in the area at a cost of 17 billion VND, along with 19
other projects to assist the production with a total investment of nearly 3.5
billion VND.
In 2018, the district proposed to the
provincial People’s Committee 25 infrastructure projects with a total capital
of nearly 20 billion VND.
Efforts of mountainous communes in Tan Lac
in maintaining political security and social safety and order have been
recognised, as there were no complicated cases related to land conflicts,
compensation and ground clearance. The movement of community-based national
security protection has proved efficient, along with models of order-security self-management
in localities.
After the Lunar New Year (Tet) holidays, trade union members and workers in Hoa Binh province returned to work with an excited spirit at the beginning of the new spring. Throughout the workshops, factories and enterprises, they were full of enthusiasm, immediately getting to work, striving to excellently complete tasks and production and business targets.
Red grapefruit is a native crop of Tan Lac district, where the fertile soil and favourable climate create ideal conditions for its growth. With over 80% of the area being mountainous, at an altitude of 300-400 metres above sea level, red grapefruits here thrive on well-drained, fertile hillside soil. The region’s large temperature variation between day and night enhances the fruit's nutrient absorption. The local cultivation techniques also contribute to its uniqueness
The provincial business association recently convened a conference to review its 2024 operations and outline plans for 2025. The meeting was attended by Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Duc Hinh along with leaders from various departments and agencies.
Hoa Binh province is prioritising rural transportation infrastructure to improve mobility, facilitate trade, and boost socio-economic development.
The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development has just issued Decision No. 377/QD-BNN-VPĐP approving the results of the evaluation and classification of the products of the National One Commune One Product Program in 2024 (phase 3).
As the Lunar New Year (Tet) approaches, the market becomes more vibrant than ever. In Hoa Binh province, preparations for Tet have been bustling since the 20th of the last lunar month, with an abundant supply of goods to meet the growing consumer demand.
