(HBO) - The agricultural production value of Hoa Binh province is estimated to surpass 2.2 trillion VND (93.5 million USD) in the first quarter of 2020, a year-on-year increase of 3.5 precent.
According to the provincial Department of Agricultural and
Rural Development, the total production value of the agricultural sector is
1.84 trillion VND, the forestry sector 304 billion VND, and the fisheries
sector 64 billion VND, up 3.3 percent, 4.5 percent and 6 percent, respectively.
Products reporting impressive growth rates
include fresh sugarcane with 6.3 percent, orange V2 4.3 percent, Canh orange
3.1 percent, poultry 10.1 percent, and wood and forest products 5.6 percent.
Currently, the whole province has 2.7 hectares
of ponds, small lakes and reservoirs; 4,600 fish cages; and 43 farms and
aquaculture cooperatives. The total output of fish is estimated at 2,626
tonnes, of which 375 tonnes are caught from the nature. The locality's breeding
facilities produced 6 million fingerlings of all kinds to serve local demand.
The local aquaculture facilities are actively taking measures to manage farming
environment and enrich ponds and lakes for the next farming season. Inspections
have been stepped up to protect the aquatic resources by minimising the
exploitation of aquatic products by explosives, electric shock and poisons./.
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.
