(HBO) – The complicated development of COVID-19 epidemic since early this year has seriously affected the agriculture sector. Meanwhile, African swine fever still occurs in some communes. Localized thunderstorms and heavy rain caused damage in Mai Chau, Tan Lac and Kim Boi districts. Faced with both natural disasters and epidemics, the agricultural sector has managed to find ways to adapt and promote production to ensure food security.
People in Nam Thuong commune (Kim Boi) convert the inefficient rice cultivation area to other crops with higher economic value.
Nguyen Huy Nhuan, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development emphasized that Covid-19 epidemic has unprecedentedly affected all fields. Therefore, right from the beginning of 2021, the agricultural sector has actively coordinated with departments, branches and localities to focus on preparing seeds, materials and production conditions; proactively prevent and control diseases on plants and animals. The province also switches to other high economic value crops. Local authorities provide solutions for the consumption of agricultural products in the spring crop and implement the production of the summer-summer crop in the coming time.
The province’s agricultural production has some highlights as it has surpassed some of the targets in the first 6 months of the year compared to the same period last year. Many cooperatives, agricultural cooperative groups have adjusted their production plans to apply digital technology to help consume agricultural products, promote sufficient food supply for the people. Most of the province's key products and OCOP products have been offered for sale on a number of websites and e-commerce platforms./.
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.
