(HBO) - Since the beginning of 2023, localities in the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh have continued to invest in cage fish farming in large water areas while maintaining fish farming in ponds, lakes, fields and reservoirs.
Farmers in Hien Luong commune, Da Bac district, develop
cage fish farming
Currently, the province has 2,695 hectares of water surface
for fish farming and 4,900 fish cages. In the first two months of this year,
the province's fish output was estimated at 3,063 tonnes, of which 2,577 tonnes
from aquaculture.
Fishing activities in the province take place mainly on Da
river hydropower reservoir, large rivers, lakes, springs and dams with means of
exploitation including 1,470 boats of all kinds, 1,250 nets and 445 hooves.
The province’s fries output for the spring-autumn crop this
year is estimated at 31 million of all types.
The inspection and protection of aquatic
resources have been strengthened, helping to reduce the use of explosives,
electric pulses and poisons in order to promote and develop aquatic resources
in the locality./.
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.
