(HBO) – Promoting its vanguard role, the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union at all levels in Yen Lac district has encouraging members and local youngsters to engage in collective economic models that are suitable to the reality of the locality.
Pham An farm produce production and selling service cooperative in Tram village, Hung Thi commune of Lac Thuy, has generated jobs for many local labourers.
Over the years, the Pham An farm produce production and selling service cooperative in Tram village, Hung Thi commune of Lac Thuy, has made considerable contributions to the local socio-economic development.
Pham Van Toan, Chairman and Director of the cooperative, said that the cooperative was established on July 1, 2020, with seven members, focusing on producing agricultural products such as zucchini, tea, pigs, chickens, lemongrass, and making ornamental stones for domestic and foreign markets.
Currently, the cooperative is creating job for 15-35 labourers who earn 4.5-6 million VND (191-255 USD) each month. Alongside, it has also provided guidance and knowledge to local farmers on farming activities, along with assistance to poor households.
Secretary of the Lac Thuy district’s Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Nguyen Huu Lam said that Pham An cooperative is one of the effective models initiated by the youngsters’ economic development club. The success of such models has created a movement on economic production among local youngsters, contributing to creating jobs for dozens of rural labourers.
In order to promote the efficiency of collective economic models, each year Lac Thuy coordinates with relevant sectors and agencies to provide information on State policies and laws, giving cooperatives and cooperative groups access to preferential policies and joining local socio-economic development programmes, and increasing support to youngsters in business and production activities.
At the same time, the union at all levels in Lac Thuy has also strengthened the operations of clubs and groups of youngsters. Currently, the district is running five clubs and groups with more than 200 members who share the same hobbies, along with economic development clubs, including a fish farming club and a chicken breeding one.
In order to continue to effectively promote collective economic models among youngsters, in the time to come, the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union of Lac Thuy will continue to direct its sub-unions in localities to explore the demand and aspirations of members in economic development, thus giving them orientations and consultations, and coordinating with relevant agencies to give them the best conditions in developing economic development models./.
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.
