(HBO) - Tan Son commune, located in an extremely difficult area of Mai Chau district, is flourishing in agricultural production, which helps improve income and better living standards of local residents, and contributes to the new-style rural development in the locality.
Farmers in Tam Hoa village, Tan Son commune (Mai Chau district) are
growing vegetables in the production-consumption model, which has helped improve
their incomes.
The cultivable land of Bo Bau and Tam Hoa villages
of Tan Son commune is covered by the green colour of lime trees and vegetables.
Ha Van Dung, Chairman of the communal People’s Committee, said how to change the
structure of plants has long been the concern of the local authorities and
Party Committee.
From 2017, the landmark transformation has helped to bring hope for locals and improve
their livelihood. Production models coupled with consumption of key
agricultural products have been formed. Notably, a lime growing model - the
cooperation between local farmers and the Nafood Tay Bac Company - was formed.
A total of 40 households participating in
the model have been provided with training on science and farming techniques.
They have got helps to access loans through the district’s agricultural
development project for purchasing materials and fertiliser.
The model has been expanded in scale with
an area of 4.3 hectares. Households that join the model through shifting the cultivation
of cassava, maize and other ineffective plants to the growing of lime have
earned tens of millions of VND per crop.
Instead of selling products at low and unstable
prices, now products made by locals are purchased by enterprises with the
stable price at 15,000 VND/kg.
Another safe vegetable cultivation model in the production-consumption chain is
also actively implemented in the locality, and the area of this model is hoped
to increase by 10 ha in the end of 2018. Initiated in July 2018, the model
provided the two first products of cabbage and choy sum. All the cultivation areas
of vegetables meet VietGap
standards in terms of quality, output and value. With
the model, enterprises also buy products at the garden with the price committed
in the contract.
The family of Mrs. Ha Thi Y, one of households joining the model
in the Na Co Nao production area in Tam Hoa village said it is not
difficult to grow vegetables because her family has been provided vegetable farming
techniques.
The cultivation is also suitable with the investment ability of farmers, she stressed, adding that the cultivation
of this kind has helped local farmers increase their incomes by 2-3 times
compared to the growing of rice.
During the two days of November 14th – 15th, at the Provincial Cultural Palace, the Department of Industry and Trade organized a conference to connect the product consumption of the ethnic minorities and the mountainous areas in 2024. There was the attendance of the representatives of leaders of a number of departments, branches, businesses, manufacturers and distributors inside and outside the province.
The One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme is reshaping the rural economy of Lac Son district, helping improve living standards, particularly among the ethnic minority communities in remote areas of Lac Son district.
The Van Mai dam xanh (Bangana lemassoni) fish has long been famous for its unique and delicious flavour, earning a spot on the menus of many restaurants and attracting food connoisseurs. In recent years, residents in Van Mai commune, Mai Chau district, have expanded their fish farming areas and striven to build a strong reputation for their product. They are also working to establish it as an OCOP (One Commune, One Product) item to increase their income.
Outstanding rural industrial products of Hoa Binh province in 2024 were recently honoured and granted certificates, becoming a source of pride for producers and also a boost for local economic development. The honourees are all deeply imbued with the local cultural identity and boast considerable commercial potential, helping popularise the image of Hoa Binh to domestic and international consumers. This is also a solid stepping stone for rural industrial establishments to develop.
In the first 10 months of 2024, Hoa Binh city made significant progress in job creation and labour exports, sending 112 workers abroad through partnerships with authorised recruitment firms.
An award ceremony to announce the official certification for Mai Chau district’s Bangana lemassoni fish, a specialty of the locality because of its unique flavour, was held recently in the district.
