(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./.
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.

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.
