(HBO) – A recent ceremony to release fishes to Hoa Binh reservoir has drawn a large number of Buddhist monks, nuns and followers as well as the local administration and management agencies. The release, funded by businesses, monks, nuns and followers, sees over 60,000 fingerlings of different kinds swimming into the lake.
Organisations join the activity of
releasing fishes to develop aquatic resources in Da River.
Covering a total area of 8,892 hectares, Hoa Binh Reservoir
in Hoa Binh province is considered as a precious source of aquatic species of the
northwestern region with many valuable fish species such as "chien” (Bagarius
bagarius), "bong” (Spinibarbus denticulatus), "lang” (Bagridae), "dam xanh”
(Kyphosidae), "anh vu” (Semilabeo notabilis), and many others.
Aquaculture has helped thousands of local families
reduce poverty and improve their living conditions.
Localities along the banks of the lake have launched a
number of communications activities to protect and develop aquatic resources sustainably,
creating chances for poverty reduction.
Dinh Van Huy, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee
of Hien Luong commune (Da Bac), said that the commune has about 900 hectares of
water area. Over the past many years, the commune has paid great attention to
improving public awareness in implementing the Law on Fisheries, reducing and
preventing the use of electricity pulse and gill net in fishing activities, and
developing the fish farming in line with the planning.
Locals have also applied science and technology
advances in disease management and fish farming to safety standards, thus
opening an effective orientation in lake-based economic development.
In recent years, the province has maintained the
activity of releasing fishes to the lake to enrich the aquatic resources and
enhancing the awareness of organisations, individuals and the public on the
significance and responsibilities in protecting aquatic resources.
The province has implemented aquaculture in line with
environmental protection, prohibiting the use of explosives, toxic chemicals
and electricity pulse in fishing, while actively enriching the aquatic
resources, managing species, improving public awareness of the resources
management and protection.
The releasing of fishes into the Hoa Binh Reservoir helps
reproduce and preserve the biodiversity to create positive impact on the public
and enhance the awareness of Buddhist monks, nuns and followers as well as
locals in safeguarding aquatic resources./.
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.
