(HBO) – A delegation of Hoa Binh province on November 21 made a working trip to Luong Son district to assess the district’s performance in implementing criteria for new-style rural area in 2019.

After
the ten-year implementation of the new-style rural area building programme, all
19 communes in Luong Son have been recognised as new-style rural areas. The
district has invested in infrastructure to better serve local socio-economic
development and residents’ daily life.
Luong
Son has also paid attention to restructuring the agricultural sector and
improving the material and spiritual life of locals. The
locality’s poverty rate is expected to drop to 3.41 percent by the end of this
year, and per capita income to reach 38 million VND.
According
to the People’s Committee of the district, Luong Son has met all nine criteria
set for a new-style rural district. After
touring some communes, the delegation had a working session with the district’s
People’s Committee to evaluate the implementation of the national target
programme on new-style rural area building in the locality.
They
agreed with the committee’s assessment and suggested it supplement relevant
documents, review data in the dossier and attached documents, and send the dossier
to competent agencies on November 25 to submit it to the provincial People’s
Committee for voting.
At
the working session, Luong Son’s leaders pledged to instruct relevant agencies
to soon complete the dossier while continuing with the building of new-style
rural areas, focusing on improving the quality of all criteria./.
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.
