A leader of the Department of Home Affairs - the standing
body of the provincial Council for Emulation and Commendation - stressed that
patriotic emulation movements launched by central agencies and Hoa Binh
province have created strong changes to cadres, Party members and people’s
awareness and actions, encouraging them to make efforts to fulfill political
and socio-economic development tasks. Those campaigns have also provided
conditions for exemplary individuals to bring into play their role in promoting
emulation movements.
During 2016 - 2021 period, the province formed and
multiplied 125 exemplary models in different social aspects. Among them, 62
were introduced to central press agencies for popularisation.
At the conference, exemplary individuals shared their
experience in building effective livelihood models such as a cultivation model
applying VietGAP standards of Nguyen Trung Kien in Doc Lap commune and a plant
and livestock farming production model using high technology of Nguyen Thi Tam
in Tan Thinh ward (Hoa Binh city), a chicken farming model of Trinh Quang Tuan
in Phu Thanh commune (Lac Thuy district), a homestay tourism service model of
Sung Y Mua in Pa Co commune (Mai Chau district), an organic orange cultivation
model of 3T Farm Cooperative in Cao Phong town (Cao Phong district), and a
temperate vegetable production cooperative in Quyet Chien commune (Tan Lac
district).
On this occasion, the provincial Council for Emulation and
Commendation presented gifts to exemplary individuals and organised a
fact-finding trip to a guava farming model applying VietGAP standards in Yen
Mong commune of Hoa Binh city./.
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.
