(HBO) - Implementing the 10th Party Central Committee’s Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW dated August 5, 2008 on agriculture, farmers and rural areas, the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No. 02-NQ / TU dated June 7, 2011 on the construction of new-style rural areas for the 2011-2015 period with orientations to 2020. It is a sound and timely policy of the Party to the welcome of the people. Therefore, the provincial Party units, authorities and political system have taken active, proactive and creative approaches to implementation.

Party Committee Bui Van Tinh visit stalls of Hoa Binh’s outstanding farm
produce.
Under the drastic directions of the Party units and
authorities from the grassroots level and with public consensus, the province’s
new-style rural development campaign has over the past decade reaped important
results. The countryside has a facelift with modern infrastructure, especially
cultural infrastructure meeting demand of rural residents. Production has
changed positively and been oriented towards large-scale goods and effective
cooperation. Economic development projects and models have been spread, thus
creating a driving force for the local socio-economic development.
As of late 2018, the province posted a gross regional
domestic product growth of 8.36 percent, ranking 19th nationwide and
fourth among the 14 northern midland provinces. Its total State budget revenue reached
3.4 trillion VND, ranking third among the six northwestern provinces and
seventh among the 14 northern midland provinces. The average per capita GRDP is
estimated at 50.7 million VND, ranking second among the six northwestern
provinces and third among the 14 northern mid-land provinces. The average per
capita income in rural areas reached 32 million VND each year, up 23.7 million
VND compared to that in 2011. The rate of poor households in rural areas was
14.28 percent, down by 17.23 percent from 2011.
During the 2016-2019 period, the province raised over 11.44
trillion VND for the new-style rural development programme.
With such achievements, the province now has 82 out of the 191
communes that meet new rural development criteria, accounting for 42.9 percent
of the total communes (fulfilling the province’s resolution one year ahead of
schedule), an increase of 51 communes compared to 2015. Last year, Hoa Binh
city was the first district-level administrative unit of the province to complete
the task of building new-style rural areas two years ahead of schedule. The
number of new-style rural development criteria in the province averages 15.01
per commune, up 10.61 criteria compared to 2011 and up 3.51 criteria compared
to the late 2015. Not any commune now meets below 10 criteria. This year, Luong
Son district is expected to meet new-style rural development criteria,
surpassing the plan by 200 percent under the Prime Minister’s Decision
No.1865/QD-TTg dated November 23, 2018./.
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.
