(HBO) – As part of the efforts to implement the new-style rural area building, over the years, Bao La commune in Mai Chau district has focused on supporting agricultural production and farming structure transformation, and encouraged local farmers to develop production connection in value chains and build the trademark of local farm produce.
Bao La commune (Lai Chau) is home to 101
households breeding Muong Pa black pigs.
Ha Cong Hau, Vice Chairman of the communal People’s Committee, said that the
commune has switched rice cultivation areas with low efficiency to farming ones
of other plants with higher effectiveness. At the same time, the locality has
organised training courses to equip farmers with advanced farming science and
technologies, while setting up linkages among farmers in production.
The commune has developed concentrated material production areas for some
typical products such as black pigs, vegetable and bitter cucumber.
Ha The Nhien, Director and Chairman of the Muong Pa black-skin pig breeding
cooperative, said that from seven members in 2018 when it was set up in 2018,
to date the cooperative has had 17 members and partnered with 147 farmer
households in different communes. In the first six months of this year, the
cooperative earned about 2 billion VND (85,932 USD), with income of each member
reaching about 30 million VND each month and that of partner households
amounting 15 million VND per month.
Changes in mindset of local farmers have contributed to building many farm
produce trademarks for Bao La. The agricultural sector has affirmed its central
role in helping farmers improve their living conditions. Last year, per capita
income of local residents reached 36 million VND, with the rate of poor
households reducing to 7.65 percent./.
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.

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.
