(HBO) - The farmers’ association of An Binh commune has promoted a production emulation campaign among its 1,583 members to raise locals’ engagement in technological application so as to enhance yield and production quality. Its chapters of different levels have regularly held meetings to review production conditions and put forth prompt solutions.
A chicken-rearing
model of Nguyen Van Quy in Cay Ruong village, An Binh commune, Lac Thuy
district, reels in nearly 200 million VND in annual revenue.
As a result of the campaign, a number of members have
strived to gain millions of VND in annual revenue and create jobs. For example,
a plywood production workshop of Quach Van Du in Dai Dong village reels in 400 –
500 million VND a year and generates 30 jobs; and a farm raising 12,000 fowls
of Nguyen Van Long in Cay Ruong village with 200 million VND a year. The
members have also built exemplary orchards that push for economic development
and give the rural area a facelift.
The campaign has led to a reduction in the number of the poor
households among its members, with the figure currently recorded at 152 against
the 203 in 2019.
The total debts of its members are close to 10 billion VND
at the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies, and 67 billion VND at the Vietnam Bank
for Agriculture and Rural Development.
So far this year, the commune has recorded more than 185
billion VND worth of production value, up 7 percent year on year. The entire
commune has 235,000 fowls, 945 bee hives, and 1,280 goats, with local paddies
and citrus fruit plantations, among others, posting high yield.
The local annual per capita income hits 49 million VND and
its rate of poor households is at 7.1 percent./.
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.
