(HBO) - Hoa Binh province has enjoyed stable aquaculture development over the time. It is home to 2,700 ha of aquatic farms and 4,700 fish cages.
The province’s aquatic output hit 686
tonnes in July, including 132 tonnes from fishing and 554 tonnes from fish
farming.
There are 32 aquatic farms and cooperatives
in the province, of which 10 specialise in aquaculture and the remainders combine
agriculture and aquatic activities.
Residents
in Nua hamlet, Vay Nua commune (Da Bac district) invest in caged fish farming
and fishing on Hoa Binh reservoir to stabilise income.
To stabilise aquaculture, competent
agencies have worked with local authorities to enhance inspection and
dissemination on the negative impact of fishing using explosive, electric currents
and poisons, in an attempt to raise public awareness and responsibility for
aquatic resource protection and development.
They also keep a close watch on weather
conditions on the reservoir, water level and temperature to timely inform
farmers, as well as provide counselling for local people on disease prevention
for fish during seasonal changes./.
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.
