So far, the province has had over 7,000 hectares
of citrus fruits, which are able to produce over 15,000 tonnes of fruits per
year, along with other special farm produce. Through trade promotion
activities, the province hopes to have more channels to connect supply-demand
chains and promote its high-quality safe farm produce. Earlier, two local fruit
specialties namely Cao Phong oranges and Tan Lac red-flesh pomelos had been
supplied for the retail system of Saigon Co.op
Tran Quoc Viet, managing director at Saigon
Co.op in the north, said this creates good opportunities for the company to
expand its investment and involvement in production value chains in the
province. Cooperatives are still strategic partners to realise this target, he
said, adding that the involved parties should strengthen coordination to
increase the presence of local farm produce in Co-op supermarkets.
He suggested cooperatives improving the
packaging, storage and delivery of products to ensure its best taste.
Tran Van Thanh, chairman of the provincial
cooperatives union, said through the successful week, the union hopes the
provincial People’s Committee will pay more attention and create better
conditions for the union to promote local farm produce in big cities nationwide
as well as join trade fairs and connection conferences at home and abroad./.
In the first quarter of 2024, the credit institutions in the province have actively deployed the legal documents of the State and the State Bank relating to currency, credit and interest rates. At the same time, they have promoted the capital mobilization, focusing on the solutions to expand the credit investment along with strengthening the credit quality management, lending to priority programs to promptly meet the capital needs for export - business and consumer demand during Tet in 2024.
Outside the key economic region of Hoa Binh, yet Lac Son district has utilised its potential and strengths regarding labour, land, and transportation connectivity to attract investment to the locality, contributing to promoting socio-economic development.
In a move to expedite the execution and disbursement of the 2024 capital plan for ODA projects, aiming for a disbursement rate of over 90% of the allocated funding, the Hoa Binh People's Committee issued Document No. 483/UBND-KTN on April 3, 2024, regarding such efforts.
Nguyen Van Thap from Kim Duc hamlet, Vinh Tien commune, Kim Boi district, has built the brand of Hoa Qua Son for local fruits. His efforts have brought about income for his family and generated job opportunities for locals, helping hundreds of households escape from poverty.
The Hoa Binh administration was entrusted by the Prime Minister with a budget of 3.43 trillion VND (142.91 million USD) for investment in 2024. The provincial People's Council approved nearly 3.76 trillion VND, which has been meticulously allocated to projects, achieving 100% of the assigned capital plan.
Hoa Binh province has mobilised all resources to propel local agricultural products to make inroads into foreign markets, towards lifting the export turnover of key agricultural products to 137.8 million USD by 2030, accounting for 3.4% of the locality’s total export value of goods.
