(HBO) - Implementing the National Target Program on the development of the new rural areas, after 10 years (the period from 2011 to 2020), implementing the projects supporting the production development and the rural trades
Yen Mong commune, Hoa Binh City has been developing the areas of citrus in the direction of high-income goods.
Up to now, the districts and the city in the province have been directing and guiding the communes to implement over 1,919 models of developing cultivation, husbandry production and the rural trades ... with the supporting fund of 367 million VND from the capital sources to implement the models. In addition, from the fund from the new rural program, 32 projects linked under the value chain have been supported with the total budget of 26,514 million VND. Up to now, the province has established the large-scale concentrated production areas in the direction of goods such as citrus production areas in Cao Phong, Lac Thuy, Kim Boi, Tan Lac, Lac Son and Yen Thuy districts; Luong Son organic vegetables; purple sugarcane in Tan Lac and Cao Phong; goat and chicken in Lac Thuy; fish within Da river and so on.
Typically, now there have been 9.8 thousand hectares of the citrus production areas, of which the business area is 5.7 thousand hectares with the output of 12.3 thousand tons and the average income value is over 450 million dongs per hectare every year, increasing 7.5 times compared to 2011. The cultivated area in safe vegetable production areas is over 11,000 ha a year with the income of from 200-250 million VND/ha/crop.
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.
