(HBO) - The Young Entrepreneurs’ Association of the northwestern province of Hoa Binh held a conference on March 27 to launch activities for this year.

Members of the association proactively participated in charitable and social welfare activities, including those to build two houses for needy families and children’s playground. They also organised programmes celebrating traditional Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday for the poor, along with giving over 100 gift sets to policy beneficiaries, disadvantaged families, local youths and workers, and people with disabilities.

Members of the Young Entrepreneurs’ Association in Hoa Binh province launch tasks for 2019.

In the previous year, 10 members with outstanding achievements in the work of the association and campaigns for young entrepreneurs were awarded with certificates of merit from the central-level Association of Young Entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, 10 member businesses received certificates from the provincial association and one individual and a firm won a prize of young outstanding start-up of the central-level association.

Furthermore, two local businesses were among the 200 firms winning the Gold Star Award. Another member received certificate of the Vietnam Youth Federation Central Committee for contributions during 2018 winter and 2019 spring voluntary programmes. Additionally, one member won first prize in a contest on creative start-up ideas of Hoa Binh’s youths which was held for the first time.

In 2019, the provincial Young Entrepreneurs’ Association will continue regular charity and social welfare events. It will join hands with partners to organise a forum on youth’s start-ups as well as the second contest on creative start-up ideas of Hoa Binh’s youths.

The effectiveness of professional models of association and group in Tan Lac district

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.

Building the brand of Muong village clean food

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.

Hoa Binh ethnic farmers join forces through collective economic models

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 farming area codes: Key to bringing Hoa Binh farm produce to global market

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.
