In the cause of sustainable poverty reduction, the State’s supporting policies are considered a powerful lever to help poor and near-poor households escape poverty in Hoa Binh province. Over the past years, the Party committee and authorities of Tan My commune (Lac Son district) have always paid attention to and focused on implementing sustainable poverty reduction. Their efforts have produced positive results.

Bui Van Dung in Tan My commune, Lac Son district, runs a grocery shop to help his family have a stable income.

Quach Van San, Vice Chairman of the commune People's Committee, said that the communal People’s Committee has advised the local Party committee to issue a resolution on poverty reduction, while including the work in socio-economic development plans.

In 2023, Tan My commune has intensified the implementation of the National Target Programme for Sustainable Poverty Reduction. In particular, in order to support poor and near-poor households as well as those who newly escape poverty in economic development, the commune has opened vocational training classes for them.

The training courses are mostly short term, focusing on animal husbandry, farming, agricultural machine repair, industrial sewing, among others. Poor and near-poor households can also borrow loans from the Bank of Social Policies for household economic development. They are also provided with loans from the National Target Programme for socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas to buy water tanks to improve water sources and environmental sanitation in daily life.

The locality’s economic structure has seen a strong shift. Currently, about 1,500 labourers in the commune have joined the labour market. Many have found jobs in industrial parks in nearby Bac Ninh and Bac Giang provinces, while some others have returned to work at local electronics and garment manufacturing enterprises.

In 2023, the agriculture - forestry sector make up 47% in the commune's economy, industry - handicrafts - construction 27%, and trade - services 26%.

Living condition of the locals have continued to improve, with the average income per capita reaching 53 million VND (2,200 USD) a year. The commune has 1,661 households with over 7,700 people. The poverty rate decreased to 7.83% while near-poor households accounted for 6.86%.

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.

Lac Thuy district prioritises resources for industrial, handicraft development

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.

Phu Thanh implements organic practices in tea production

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.

Hoa Binh works hard to accelerate progress of key projects

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 achieves record-breaking economic growth in Q1

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.

Hoa Binh focuses on building strong OCOP brands for sustainable growth

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.
