(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./.
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.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
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.
