(HBO) - The farmers’ association of An Binh commune has promoted a production emulation campaign among its 1,583 members to raise locals’ engagement in technological application so as to enhance yield and production quality. Its chapters of different levels have regularly held meetings to review production conditions and put forth prompt solutions.
A chicken-rearing
model of Nguyen Van Quy in Cay Ruong village, An Binh commune, Lac Thuy
district, reels in nearly 200 million VND in annual revenue.
As a result of the campaign, a number of members have
strived to gain millions of VND in annual revenue and create jobs. For example,
a plywood production workshop of Quach Van Du in Dai Dong village reels in 400 –
500 million VND a year and generates 30 jobs; and a farm raising 12,000 fowls
of Nguyen Van Long in Cay Ruong village with 200 million VND a year. The
members have also built exemplary orchards that push for economic development
and give the rural area a facelift.
The campaign has led to a reduction in the number of the poor
households among its members, with the figure currently recorded at 152 against
the 203 in 2019.
The total debts of its members are close to 10 billion VND
at the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies, and 67 billion VND at the Vietnam Bank
for Agriculture and Rural Development.
So far this year, the commune has recorded more than 185
billion VND worth of production value, up 7 percent year on year. The entire
commune has 235,000 fowls, 945 bee hives, and 1,280 goats, with local paddies
and citrus fruit plantations, among others, posting high yield.
The local annual per capita income hits 49 million VND and
its rate of poor households is at 7.1 percent./.
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.
