HBO – Hoa Binh reported total fish output of 958 tonnes in May, of which 150 tonnes from fishing and 808 tonnes from fish farms.
The province has
accelerated the development of cage fish farming across major lakes and

surface used in aquaculture, with more than 4,700 fish cages and 33 fish farms
and cooperatives.
Its fish output in the
first half of this year was estimated at about 3,880 tonnes, including 818
tonnes from fishing and 3,061 tonnes from fish farms.

quality of the lakes and reservoirs for aquaculture.
The province has also
strengthened State management of aquatic resources and inspection of the
observation of regulations on aquatic farming and exploitation on Hoa Binh
Reservoir.

of Agriculture and Rural Development has submitted a plan for implementing a
pilot project on preserving, restoring and developing aquatic resources on Hoa
Binh Reservoir from 2020 – 2022.
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.
