(HBO) - Lac Thuy district has an agricultural land area of more than 5,450 hectares (accounting for 18.6% of the total area of the district) and the forestry land area with forests is over 12,760 hectares (accounting for 43.51%). Lac Thuy is considered as a locality with potentials for land, climate and labor, which are favorable conditions for the district to direct and orient people to invest in developing farm economy.
Up to now, there have been 75 out of 85 farms meeting the criteria for certification, accounting for 81% in the whole district. They include 44 comprehensive farms, 10 cultivating farms, 3 forestry farms, 23 husbandry farms, 5 aquaculture farms. The majority of farms are well-invested with a large scale and high sustainability, contributing positively to job creation and raising income for the people.
Mr. Ngo Dinh Tam, the head of the Agriculture and Rural Development Department of Lac Thuy district, says that since 2006, the People's Committee of the district has proposed a project to develop farm economy, focusing on supporting interest rates for people to borrow investment capital. The district has also built some models of cultivation and husbandry as a basis for replication. Accordingly, the different types of farms have contributed to the local economic development.
Over the past years, the district has been supporting people to build a comprehensive farm economy. This is a kind of stability, ensuring safety and bringing high income for the people. The district has encouraged and created favorable conditions in terms of mechanisms and policies to help people invest in the strong development of industrial husbandry, farm and family husbandry. The concentrated husbandry farms are step by step being formed, creating a large amount of output, significantly contributing to raising awareness about food hygiene and safety, promoting the process of restructuring husbandry, creating jobs and increasing incomes for the people. A lot of farms have earned from hundreds of million to billions of dongs every year.
In the coming time, the Party Committee and the government of Lac Thuy district are attaching great importance to orientation helping the farm owners to see clearly the number one goal is the safe production and the second one is the good implementation of the traceability and the higher is building the products meeting Vietgap standards to gain a foothold in the domestic supermarkets, proceeding to export.
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.
