(HBO) - Da Bac district has a total forest area of 47,143.24 ha, including 31,458.04 ha of natural forest and 15,685.20 ha of planted areas. In recent years, afforestation has helped generate jobs and bring high incomes for local people.
Plant
nurseries in Da Bac district ensure sufficient supply of saplings for
afforestation in 2020.
Afforestation is carried out in all
communes and towns in the district, mainly in Tu Ly and Toan Son communes and
Da Bac town. The district has planned to plant trees on 800 hectares of forest
land this year. Some kinds of trees are selected for afforestation through
research on soil and climate, such as acacia, doi, mo and mock Bodhi trees.
To prepare for the implementation of the 2020 afforestation plan, the district
has strengthened communications work to provide locals with information on the
role, effect, meaning and economic efficiency of afforestation for the
environment and life.
Shortly after the completion of forest exploitation in 2019, forest rangers
guided people to clear vegetation. The district’s Division of Agriculture and
Rural Development also guided communes and towns to register afforestation area
so that the district mapped out a plan on saplings to serve the work when conditions
are favourable.
Besides, the district has provided training on planting techniques with the
application of science and technology for farmers.
After the Lunar New Year, afforestation took place throughout the district with
the launch of tree-planting festival. The movement received warm response from
officials, staff and locals in the locality. On the occasion, the district
planted 51,150 perennial trees of all kinds. The whole district has to date planted
100 ha of forest. The district targets to complete the 2020 forestation plan by
the end of September./.
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.
