(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.

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./.
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.

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.
