(HBO) – After two years of implementation, the medicinal plant cultivation model in Da Bac district’s Yen Hoa commune has brought about practical economic outcomes. With its potential, the model is planned to be replicated in the coming time.
The
model of growing organic medicinal plants in Yen Hoa commune (Da Bac) initially
bring about practical results.
Realising such benefits, locals have so far created favourable conditions for
the cooperative to lease over 11 hectares of land to expand its cultivation
area. The cooperative creates regular jobs for 14 local workers, with an
average income of 5 – 6 million VND per person per month.
Determining that developing sustainable agriculture requires organic
production, right from the beginning, the cooperative has cultivated its
medicinal plant garden completely without using chemical fertilizers and
pesticides. Instead, organic fertilizers and herbal pesticides have been
ultilised.
Luong Van Xung, Chairman of the Yen Hoa People's Committee, said medicinal
plants are suitable for local soil conditions. In addition to the leased land,
there are many areas potential for further cultivation expansion. He also pledged the local authorities’ support for businesses to invest in new
models serving socio-economic development.
In the coming time, Da Bac aims to expand its areas for organic medicinal
plants to 25 – 30ha by 2025. For the target, the district will build mechanisms
and issue policies to attract resources from organisations and individuals for
the development of the plantations and processing technologies. The cultivation
of native medicinal plants is encouraged./.
Maximizing local potential and advantages, Yen Tri commune in Yen Thuy district is actively promoting the cultivation of medicinal herbs and turning medicinal herbs into One Commune - One Product (OCOP) products.
Situated at the gateway to the Northwest, Hoa Binh province has a population of over 900,000, including about 540,000 of working age.

The remaining workforce is engaged in informal jobs, works in enterprises outside the province, or contributes to agro-forestry-fisheries. Additionally, around 3,000 workers are employed abroad.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee has issued Decision No. 2767/QD-UBND announcing the rankings of departments, agencies, districts and Hoa Binh city in the Public Administration Reform Index (PAR) and the Satisfaction Index of Public Administration Services (SIPAS) in 2024.
The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
In 2024, the total state budget revenue of Hoa Binh Province is estimated at approximately VND 6,930 billion, achieving 183% of the Government’s target, 126% of the target assigned by the Provincial People's Council, and 145% compared to the same period last year.
