fish farming model on Hoa Binh Lake.
The RIA1 is implementing the third phase of a project to support Cuba in
developing aquaculture in order to increase aquaculture production in the Latin
American nation. Within the framework of a training
session on raising tilapia for Cuban fishing engineers, the institute organised
a field trip to learn and experience a cage fish farming model on Hoa Binh
Lake.
Representatives of the provincial Fisheries Sub-department briefed trainees on
the development of cage fish farming on Hoa Binh Lake. In the first six months
of this year, the province has 4,930 fish cages with a yield of about 1.2
tonnes per cage. Local farmers raise many species of high economic value such
as black carp, tilapia and sturgeon. Currently, cage fish farming on Hoa Binh
Lake is developing strongly, creating more jobs for local residents and
improving their incomes.
The Cuban delegation visited a number
of models in Thai Binh ward (Hoa Binh city) and Vay Nua commune (Da Bac
district) during which owners shared experiences of cage fish farming on the
lake.
At the end of the working trip, the delegation said they hope that in the
future there will be more cooperation projects in the field of fisheries in
general and fish cage farming in particular./.
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.
