The relevant authorities are currently intensifying
inspection and direction campaigns about damaging effects of fishing methods
involving explosives, electrocution and poisons in order to raise people’s
awareness about the protection and development of fishery resources in natural
waters. Simultaneously, active attention
is assigned to monitoring weather conditions, water levels in ponds, lakes,
rivers and streams, particularly in Da River Reservoir…, introducing timely
warnings for farmers to undertake
measures in prevention of diseases in fish farms.

Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.

Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
