The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development on November 20 coordinated with Hai Dang Group Hoa Binh Seafood Company Limited to release 1.5 tonnes of fries into Hoa Binh Lake to regenerate aquatic resources, with a total value of 266 million VND (10,460 USD).
This, an activity within the framework of
the second Da River Fish and Shrimp Festival in Hoa Binh province, saw the
presence of Bui Duc Hinh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party
Committee, Chairman of the provincial People's Council; and Dinh Cong Su, Vice
Chairman of the provincial People's Committee.

Bui Duc Hinh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the provincial People's Council, and leaders of several departments and sectors release fries into Hoa Binh Lake.
The Da River flows through Hoa Binh
province with an area of about 8,900 hectares, belonging to 19 communes of Da
Bac, Mai Chau, Cao Phong and Tan Lac districts, and Hoa Binh city. Hoa Binh
Lake is considered a valuable treasure of organisms and aquatic resources of
the province. However, in recent years, fishing, especially destructive fishing
methods, has depleted aquatic resources in the lake.
Therefore, every year, the agricultural
sector has mobilised many resources to protect, regenerate and develop aquatic
resources in Hoa Binh Lake. The activity aims to help organisations and
individuals understand the importance and responsibility of protecting aquatic
resources, implementing aquaculture and exploitation in association with
environmental protection, and strictly prohibiting the use of explosives, toxic
substances and electric shocks to exploit aquatic resources. This contributes
to the regeneration and restoration of resources, and diversification of
aquatic species in the waters of Hoa Binh Lake.
Hoa Binh province’s economy posted an impressive Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) growth rate of 12.67% in the first quarter of 2025, representing a 12.76% year-on-year increase, the highest rate recorded since the beginning of the current tenure, according to the provincial Statistics Office. This robust growth reflects years of strategic groundwork and sets a strong foundation for the province’s annual growth target of over 10%.
With a focus on cash crop farming with science - technology application and brand building, Lac Thuy district is gradually increasing production value, improving people's life quality, and laying the foundation for sustainable socio-economic development.
In recent years, the economic development model "Hoa Binh Earthworm Farm” run by Mr. Bui Van Dang in Co Giua Hamlet, My Thanh Commune (Lac Son district) has not only brought stable economic value but it is also environmentally friendly, helping to protect and reduce pollution, contributing to the construction of a green and sustainable agriculture.
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.
