(HBO) – The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee has held a meeting to verify Hoa Binh city’s new-style rural area status. Vice Chairman of the committee Nguyen Van Dung chaired the event.
The province’s verification team examines the cow farming
model of the agricultural services cooperative of Dan Chu commune, Hoa Binh
city.
By October 3, all the seven communes of Hoa Binh
city had been recognised as new-style rural areas.
Over the last eight years, authorities and
agencies at all levels have mobilised resources and effectively integrated
capital sources to upgrade local infrastructure, thus giving a facelift to
rural areas. They have also moved to restructure agriculture so as to boost
mass production, form concentrated production zones, and apply scientific and
technological advances to improve product quality and value.
To raise residents’ income, the communes have
built production development projects basing on local potential and advantages
to gradually form specialised farming zones, promote specialties and create
products typical for them. These projects include farming cows, fish,
vegetables, lingzhi mushroom, guava and longan.
Hoa Binh city houses one industrial park on the left
bank of the Da River and two industrial clusters which have employed a number
of locals, thus raising the rate of people with jobs in the seven communes to
95.7 percent. The rate of trained labourers is 40.06 percent.
Average per capita income in rural areas has
risen from 15.8 million VND (676.5 USD) in 2011 to 38.84 million VND (nearly
1,700 USD) in 2017. The multidimensional household poverty rate has fallen to
1.31 percent in the city.
About 90.3 percent of the seven communes’
population has been covered by health insurance, while 98.5 percent of local
families have accessed clean water. Hoa Binh city has also ensured security and
order and does not have debt in basic construction projects./.
After more than four years of implementing a project launched by the Hoa Binh Party Committee’s Standing Board on developing agriculture and promoting product consumption linked with building new-style rural areas for the 2021-2025 period, the province’s industry and trade sector has made significant strides, greatly contributing to local socio-economic development.
Luong Son district has identified 2025 as the year for the accelerated breakthrough to successfully implement the socio-economic development plan for the 5-year period from 2021 to 2025. The district has been focusing on executing the plans and trying to achieve a GRDP growth rate of approximately 15%.
Since the beginning of this year, under the direction of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the Sub-Department of Agricultural, Forestry, and Fishery Product Quality Management has strengthened the integration of the professional activities to promote and guide the organizations and individuals in the production and trading of agricultural, forestry, and fishery products to comply with the legal regulations regarding the use of chemicals, pesticides and veterinary medicines in crop cultivation, livestock farming and aquaculture. They also provide guidance to processing and manufacturing establishments on keeping the records to trace the product origins and using food additives from the approved list according to the regulations.
Hoa Binh province saw a significant rise in state budget revenue in the first two months of 2025, heard a meeting chaired by Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Quach Tat Liem.
Ha Thi Ha Chi, a 26-year-old graduate in law, has taken an unconventional path by returning to her hometown in Mai Chau district to establish the Tong Dau Cooperative, creating stable jobs for local women and bringing Thai ethnic brocade weaving to the global market.
As the Lunar New Year 2025 approached, pork prices surged, creating a profitable season for farmers in Tan Vinh commune, Luong Son district. Taking advantage of the rising demand, Can Minh Son, a farmer from Coi hamlet, sold over 30 pigs at 69,000 VND/kg, each weighing more than 100 kg. After deducting expenses, his family earned a profit of over 50 million VND.
