(HBO) – Kim Boi district has gained many important achievements over the half-term implementation of the Resolution of the district’s 22th Party Congress.
People in Khoang village, Son Thuy
commune, Kim Boi district have invested in longan farming to develop household business.
The district has mobilized different sources of funding to develop
local infrastructure, transfer technology and support people in scaling up
effective business models towards sustainable production closely linked with
distribution. Among the most successful are the farming of Thai jackfruit,
banana, gourd, baby cucumber and various varieties of rice.
At the same time, it has partnered with businesses and
organisations to develop a number of cooperative models, including an
84.7-hectare farm producing pumpkin for seeds, a 2.6-hectare farm of bitter
melon for seeds, 78.5 hectares of sweet corn, 15.3 hectares of Japanese
cucumber and 4 hectares of chili. This cooperation has opened up new opportunities
for farmers to shift to new plants suitable to the local conditions and
potential, hereby improving their income.
Life of people in the commune of 135 Thuong Bi region has
significantly improved thanks to efforts to diversify crops and expand new
farming models such as the cultivation of pumpkin for seeds, chili for export
and Thai jackfruit.
In recent years, Kim Boi has directed its communes to expand
citrus farming, particularly specialty varieties of orange and pomelo, like
yellow-flesh, V2 and sweet orange, Dien and green-skin pomelo, and Huong Chi
longan.
The district has formed specialized production areas. It is home
to 1,000 hectares of citrus farms, mostly in the communes of Kim Son, Tu Son,
Vinh Tien, Binh Son and My Hoa, and 230 hectares of longan farms in Son Thuy,
Thuong Bi and Bac Son communes. Some 200 hectares of pumpkin and bitter melon for
seeds and 500 hectares of gourd and pumpkin for commercial purposes have been
also developed in many communes./.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
