(HBO) - Phan Tuyet Nga, a local in Chuong My district (Hanoi), has brought asparagus seeds to poor land in Ben Nghia village, Phu Nghia commune, Lac Thuy district, Hoa Binh province. With nearly five years of development, her asparagus planting model has proved effective, bringing in good income. It has gradually been expanded to some surrounding areas.

The asparagus planting model of Phan Tuyet Nga in Ben Nghia hamlet, Phu Nghia commune, Lac
Thuy district, proves effective, bringing in high income.
Nga shared that after learning experience in planting and caring asparagus in the
central province of Ninh Thuan, and making a fact-finding tour, she chose Phu
Nghia commune to carry out her project because this location boasts suitable natural
conditions and climate as well as abundant sources of water from Boi River. Furthermore, the transport system makes it easier to move
to nearby localities like Hanoi, Ha Nam, Nam Dinh and Thanh Hoa. Optimising these advantages,
she started to grow 24,000 asparagus roots on nealry 1.5 hectares.
Averagely, she could harvest about 70kg of
asparagus every day, some days up to 180kg, with prices ranging between 60,000
VND and 70,000 VND per kilogramme. The total annual revenue is estimated at 1.3
billion VND and the profit is over 300 million VND. Nga’s family also created
jobs for about 15 local workers, with monthly
income of about 6 million VND per person.
With the hope of developing this model
effectively, Nga has expanded the asparagus growing area to 3 hectares. She
often asks workers to frequently follow the growth of the plant to have prompt
measures to ensure the quality.
Nga is providing technical consultations
for gardens in Hoa Binh, Vinh Phuc, and Hanoi with total cost of 10 million VND
each.
Asparagus is popular among locals and
restaurants because it is rich in nutrients, and easy to prepare. "Therefore, I
want to connect with gardeners to expand the growing area, ensuring supply for
people, supermarkets, restaurants in need,” Nga said./.
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.
