(HBO) - Kim Boi district has identified agriculture as the pillar and spearhead in socio-economic development over the past years. Therefore, the district’s Party Committee and People’s Committee have led efforts to optimize local potential and strength, gearing towards commercial agricultural production with high economic values.

The district has established citrus growing zones in Tu Son, Du Sang, Vinh Tien, Bac Son, Hung Tien, Kim Son, Nam Thuong and My Hoa communes. In 2018, the total citrus area was nearly 1,300 hectares, with total output reaching 7,800 tonnes and each ha generating from 200-250 million VND.

Of the total area, 149 ha of citrus gardens in Tu Son, Du Sang, Vinh Tien and Binh Son communes have received food safety and VietGap certificates. Besides, 34 ha of longan in Son Thuy and 3.2 ha of citrus in Vinh Tien commune were certified as organic cultivation, helping local fruit find markets in Hanoi and some other provinces, and improve added value in production.

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.

Hoa Binh achieves record-breaking economic growth in Q1

Hoa Binh focuses on building strong OCOP brands for sustainable growth

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.
