(HBO) – The Luong Son district People’s Committee has held a ceremony marking the recognition of Tan Vinh commune as a new-style rural area. The event was attended by Vice Chairman of Hoa Binh provincial People’s Council Hoang Van Tu.
When it began
new-style countryside building efforts in 2011, Tan Vinh met only four of the
19 criteria. In the eight years through 2018, almost 91 billion VND (3.9
million USD) was raised for the work, including over 11.9 billion VND
contributed by local people.
The recognition came as local infrastructure has
been upgraded, giving a facelift to this rural area. While progress has been
seen in agricultural production along with cultural and social aspects, social
security has been ensured, and political security and social order and safety
kept stable.
Vice
Chairman of the Hoa Binh People’s Council Hoang Van Tu presents the new-style
rural area certificate in 2018 to authorities and people of Tan Vinh commune.
Tan Vinh commune currently houses a flower
farming cooperative group, an agricultural and irrigation cooperative and a
clean food cooperative which altogether have helped provide jobs for and
improve income of local residents.
The average annual per capita income rose from
11 million VND in 2011 to 26.2 million VND in 2017. The household poverty rate
in Tan Vinh was brought down to 5.3 percent in 2017. While more than 75 percent
of the total families have been recognised as civilized families, over 95
percent of the households have gained access to safe water. Local residents
have also actively joined hands to ensure a green, clean and beautiful living
environment.
Recognising the Tan Vinh administration and
people’s efforts, the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee certified the
commune as a new-style rural area and rewarded it with a public facility worth
400 million VND.
On this occasion, the Luong Son district
People’s Committee also presented merit certificates to seven collectives and
20 individuals with excellent achievements in new-style rural area building in
Tan Vinh commune./.
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.
