It is also important to ensure that 100% of the poor households, the poverty threshold households and households who have just escaped from poverty are eligible for preferential credit loans if they are in need.
100% of the poor people and the ethnic minority people living in areas with difficult socio-economic conditions and in areas with particularly difficult conditions and those who are under the state beneficiaries are granted health insurance cards. The poor households, the poverty threshold households and the families under preferential treatment policy are continuously supported to build suitable hygienic latrines, increasing the number of households using clean water to reduce the deficit of the clean water. The income of the households participating in projects supporting production development, diversifying the livelihoods and replicating poverty reduction models have increased by 20% a year or more. On average, each year there are at least 15% of the households have escaped from poverty and poverty threshold.
In order to achieve the set objectives, the People's Committee of the province has required the synchronous implementation of guidelines, mechanisms and policies in accordance with the reality. The province has promoted the achieved results and mobilized the combined strength of the whole political system to successfully implement the poverty reduction target in 2019.

The lives of the ethnic minority farmers in Tan Lac district have gradually improved thanks to the new directions in agricultural production. This is a testament to the collective strength fostered through the professional associations and groups implemented by various levels of the district’s Farmers’ Union.
With the motto the "product quality comes first,” after nearly one year of establishment and operation, Muong village’s Clean Food Agricultural and Commercial Cooperative, located in Cau Hamlet, Hung Son Commune (Kim Boi district), has launched reputable, high-quality agricultural products to the market that are well-received by consumers. The products such as Muong village’s pork sausage, salt-cured chicken, and salt-cured pork hocks have gradually carved out a place in the market and they are on the path to obtaining the OCOP certification.
In the past, the phrase "bumper harvest, rock-bottom prices" was a familiar refrain for Vietnamese farmers engaged in fragmented, small-scale agriculture. But today, a new spirit is emerging across rural areas of Hoa Binh province - one of collaboration, organisation, and collective economic models that provide a stable foundation for production.
Maintaining growing area codes and packing facility codes in accordance with regulations is a mandatory requirement for agricultural products to be eligible for export. Recently, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Hoa Binh province has intensified technical supervision of designated farming areas and packing facilities to safeguard the "green passport" that enables its products to access international markets.
