field of social sciences and humanities is the project on building the input
method editor of the Muong language in service of the preservation and
promotion of the Muong culture in Hoa Binh province. In the sphere of natural
sciences and technology, projects target the reasonable use and exploitation of
natural resources and environmental protection, such as the project on GIS

and Luong Son districts. In education-training and public health care, there is
a project on studying chemical elements and evaluating biological activities of
compounds separated from Xa den (scientifically known as Celastrus hindsii Benth).
In agriculture, tasks aim to speed up the
scientific-technological application in producing livestock and plant varieties
that have good quality and are resistant to pestilent insects and suitable with
local ecology, looking towards the development of concentrated goods production
areas. The province has developed production areas of Cao Phong orange, chayote,
pomelo, Luong Son snake gourd, Son Thuy longan, hat doi (scientifically known
as Michelia tonkinensis) in Lac Son, and Tan Lac and Mai Chau garlic. The
province has also worked to build brand name for fish and shrimp of Hoa Binh
Lake.

Situated at the gateway to the Northwest, Hoa Binh province has a population of over 900,000, including about 540,000 of working age. It is home to 6,000 businesses and production facilities, providing employment for over 100,000 workers.

The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
