(HBO) - The fields in the villages of Tam Hoa, Bo Liem, and Bo Bau in Tan Son commune (Mai Chau) are being covered with green "cloth”.

Members of Tam Hoa agricultural service and
development cooperative are harvesting VietGAP vegetables in Tan Son commune
(Mai Chau).
The model of linking the production and
consumption of safe and qualified vegetables was selected for implementation by
the Board of Quality Management of Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery in Tan Son
Commune since July, 2018. After the time of selecting households to participate in training, technical guidance
on planting according to the VietGAP process, Tam Hoa agricultural service and
development cooperative is responsible for collecting and selling products for
farmers. Mr. Ha Van Quynh, Director of Tam Hoa Agricultural Service and
Development Cooperative said that in August, the vegetable seeds of some
households were affected and damaged by natural disasters, but thanks to the
guidance timely and timely encouragement of the staff of the Board of Quality
Assurance of agricultural, forestry and fishery products in charge of the
model, the households started to re-produce immediately after the rainstorm
stopped. The cultivation was carried out in accordance with the process, season
and method of mixed planting method,
planted scattered to make regular harvest, avoid the mass plantation, leading
to excess products and falling prices. Up to now, 3 villages have created the
concentrated production areas. After the first planting with an area of 2
hectares, the households continue to expand the area to 10 hectares. The
Cooperative pledges to ensure that the whole output for farmers is stable at
6,000 VND / kg, higher than 2,000 VND / kg compared to the free market.
According to data from the Hoa Binh Provincial Party Committee, the industrial production index for the first six months of 2025 is estimated to have increased by 20% compared to the same period last year. This marks the highest year-on-year growth rate for this period since 2020.
In the first six months of 2025, Hoa Binh province’s export turnover was estimated at 1.145 billion USD, marking an 18.11% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Import turnover was estimated at $ 804 million, a 17.15% increase, which helped the province maintain a positive trade balance.
The lives of the ethnic minority farmers in Tan Lac district have gradually improved thanks to the new directions in agricultural production. This is a testament to the collective strength fostered through the professional associations and groups implemented by various levels of the district’s Farmers’ Union.
With the motto the "product quality comes first,” after nearly one year of establishment and operation, Muong village’s Clean Food Agricultural and Commercial Cooperative, located in Cau Hamlet, Hung Son Commune (Kim Boi district), has launched reputable, high-quality agricultural products to the market that are well-received by consumers. The products such as Muong village’s pork sausage, salt-cured chicken, and salt-cured pork hocks have gradually carved out a place in the market and they are on the path to obtaining the OCOP certification.
In the past, the phrase "bumper harvest, rock-bottom prices" was a familiar refrain for Vietnamese farmers engaged in fragmented, small-scale agriculture. But today, a new spirit is emerging across rural areas of Hoa Binh province - one of collaboration, organisation, and collective economic models that provide a stable foundation for production.
Maintaining growing area codes and packing facility codes in accordance with regulations is a mandatory requirement for agricultural products to be eligible for export. Recently, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Hoa Binh province has intensified technical supervision of designated farming areas and packing facilities to safeguard the "green passport" that enables its products to access international markets.
