(HBO) – Yen Thuy district has enjoyed robust changes in its agriculture, particularly after implementing agricultural shake-up project coupled with building new style rural areas in ten years, local production has been developed in a sustainable manner, which helps increase added value for local goods while improving income for farmers. The success was due to the Party and State’s support and proactive participation of local people.
Bao Hieu agricultural cooperative in
Bao Hieu commune, Yen Thuy district grows solanum trilobatum in accordance with
VietGAP standard, and develops a production and consumption model for the
plant.
A wide range of favourable policies
were carried out to support local production. Nearly 230 hectares of land
quality was improved, including 159.19 hectares in line with the province’s
project, and expanded 70.5 hectares. The acreage for plantation of citrus
fruits continued to be expanded to 600 hectares.
Together with agricultural policies integrated into the new style rural area
building programme, many value chains have been formed in the district.
Yen Thuy district is currently home to 22 agricultural cooperatives and 27
agricultural artels, who play an important role in building brand names for
local staples, developing effective production models, and controlling food
safety and hygiene.
Communes and towns across the districts have shifted to cultivate in value
chains with key agriculture products like hill chickens, pigs, wax guard and
pharmaceutical plants, among others.
By the end of June, the value chains earned the district 290.64 billion VND
(12.5 million USD), up 7.73 percent from the same time last year, of which the
husbandry sector contributed 224.8 billion VND, increasing 9.16 percent year on
year.
Local residents were happy with robust production as their incomes have been
better. Last year, income per capita in the district’s rural area reached 29.91
million VND, while the rate of poor households dropped to 13.99 percent.
The district is striving to build three more value chain models, develop three OCOP
(one commune one product) products, and establish five new agricultural
cooperatives.
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.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
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.
