Hoa Binh achieved quite
comprehensive results in restructuring of agriculture over the last five years.
Many concentrated agricultural commodity production zones have been initially formed,
contributing to raising the average production value of each hectare of farm
land to 128.4 million VND (5,530 USD) per year, 2.4 percent higher than the set
target.
The locality’s livestock industry has proactively worked to control
diseases for cattle and poultry, while devising solutions to increase the
economic value of livestock of local strength such as pig, cow, buffalo, goat,
and poultry.
For the fishery sector, the aquaculture area has been expanded to 2,700 ha,
producing about 11,000 tonnes of products per year, double the output of 2015.
Meanwhile, the forestry sector has always overfulfilled annual
plans on forest planting, protection and development. The forest coverage in
Hoa Binh in 2020 stands at 51.5 percent, 3 percent higher than the set plan.
The sector’s annual growth averages 4.35 percent, twice as high as the
country’s growth rate.
Agricultural achievements made by the locality in the 2015-2020
period are expected to create an impetus for the agriculture and rural
development sector to make breakthroughs in the next five years.
The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development will pay
attention to improving the leadership of its Party organisation and promoting
the unity, while effectively implementing patriotic emulation movements and
campaigns, thus contributing to promoting high-added value and sustainable agriculture
development, and accelerating the building of new-style rural areas.
The sector aims to have 100 percent of administrative procedures handled properly
and ahead of schedule; and 100 percent of tasks assigned by the provincial
People’s Committee completed on schedule./.
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.
