(HBO) – Households in Hoa Binh have developed livestock breeding with many effective models of cooperation groups and cooperatives in buffalo and cow breeding. In Luong Son district, the breeding cow cooperation group in Nghia Kep village, Hop Chau commune is considered as a typical one.
The breeding cow
growing model of member households of Nguyen Thi Thuy cooperation group shows
high efficiency.
The daily job of Nguyen Xuan Linh and his wife, members of
the breeding cow cooperation group in Nghia Kep village, is cutting and
gathering grass for cows.
Linh said that since 2014 when he started switching the
breeding of other kinds of livestock to cows, his family’s income has been
improved and become more stable.
As an agricultural village, Nghia Kep has favourable natural
conditions for breeding and cultivation.
Nguyen Cong Chinh, head of Nghia Kep village said that while
switching the structure of plant cultivation, the village has set up a number
of models attracting households with the same interest and goal to support each
other to sustainably reduce poverty and become richer.
Three typical and effective groups in the locality are those
to develop citrus trees, chicken and breeding cow.
With 16 members, the breeding cow cooperation group in Nghia
Kep currently has 37 cows. Incomes of its members are from middle to high
level.
The locals have had strong awareness of ensuring reserve
food for cows as well as methods to raise, and prevent diseases for the cow
herd, thus maintaining sustainability and efficiency of the model.
So far, the model has been expanded to the whole village,
bringing the total cows to 60, contributing to enhancing per capita income for
locals to 17 million VND in 2018 and expectedly 20 million VND in 2019.
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.
