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./.
Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
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.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
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.
