(HBO) - In the past 3 - 4 years, locals in Yen Bong commune of Lac Thuy district have expanded the scale of facilities for developing the chicken raising. Statistics show that the commune counts more than 40,000 chickens, mainly indigenous and Lac Thuy chicken breed. The model helps them improve their income, contributing to promoting the locality’s socio-economic development.
The family of Mrs. Hoang Thi Thuong in Quyet Tien
hamlet is breeding about 5,000 Lac Thuy chickens.
Local households can access many kinds of high-quality
animal feeds. The commune currently has over 10 households engaging in chicken raising
with a total of over 1,000 per year, mainly in Quyet Tien and Soc Bai hamlets. According to a preliminary survey, large-scale
breeding households have earned an annual profit of 100 - 200 million VND.
We visited Mrs. Hoang Thi Thuong's family in Quyet
Tien hamlet, one of the typical households in developing the chicken raising
model of Yen Bong. Currently, Thuong's family is keeping about 5,000 Lac Thuy chickens.
Grasping the market demand, Thuong raised more 1,000 Dong Tao chickens.
Thuong said her family chose Lac Thuy chicken for raising,
because this is easy to raise, grows fast and strongly resistant to diseases,
especially in the cold season. Traders prefer this because of its good quality and
price.
Mrs. Bui Thi Phai, a staff from the agricultural and
forestry expansion agency of Yen Bong commune said in recent years, local households
have bought many chicken varieties in Bac Giang for raising. This is considered a quality breed because the
raising time is short, only 90 to 110 days.Each chicken to the age suitable
of sale will weigh 3-3.5 kg and give a profit equal to that gained from raising
Lac Thuy chicken./.
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.
