(HBO) – The northern province of Hoa Binh is developing a process to convert the current arable land into organic cultivation areas. Its localities are building production chains in association with sales of organic farm produce.
Hoa Binh
Organic Farm in Yen Thuy district is applying organic production measures to
create safe products for customers.
According to the provincial Department of
Agriculture and Rural Development, Hoa Binh is now home to about 88,500
hectares of agricultural land, making up 19.2 percent of the natural areas.
Over the past few years, the agriculture sector has recorded annual average
growth of over 4 percent.
From 2020 onward, the province will launch a
roadmap to develop organic agriculture according to an organic agriculture
development project until 2025, with a vision to 2030, which has been approved
by the provincial People’s Committee.
The project is applicable for some vegetables,
fruits and animal husbandry products. Businesses, cooperatives and households
will directly implement the project or engage in production linkage models. The
total investment is estimated at about 932 billion VND (39.9 million
USD).
In 2020, Luong Son district plans to grow
organic vegetables on 20 hectares and raise 500 organic goats. Meanwhile, Tan
Lac district aims to grow organic grapefruits in Dong Lai and Thanh Hoi
communes. Da Bac district moves to grow organic rice in Muong Chien commune.
Cao Phong and Kim Boi districts will create organic orange products. Mai Chau
district and Hoa Binh city aims to create organic fish products.
By 2025, the province strives to develop 16 key
organic products. Each locality will have at least one production linkage
chain./.
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.
