(HBO) – The Hoa Binh Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the provincial statistics office on September 27 inspected the production of main agricultural products of the Tan Lac, Cao Phong, and Da Bac districts.

The delegation sees good sales of purple sugarcane in My Hoa, Tan Lac district, with higher prices compared to the previous season.

In the morning, the inspection delegation toured the Tung Duong agricultural cooperative in My Hoa commune, Tan Lac district. Founded in 2019, the cooperative boasts 21ha of purple sugarcane. Over the past years, its members have reported favourable production and consumption of the plants. Last year, the average price was 6,000VND (0.25USD) - 7,000 VND per cane. This year, more than 10ha of the cooperative has seen it sold at 9,000 VND - 10,000 VND each.

At a pomelo garden in Dong Lai commune, the delegation found that farmers are taking care of the citrus plants to ensure their productivity and quality.

In Cao Phong district, the delegation examined the local orange plantations. A leader of the district’s agricultural and rural development reported that their orange trees are more productive now compared to the previous crop, and the price is forecasted to be stable.

In the afternoon of the same day, the delegation checked the production and distribution of caged fish farms in Hien Luong commune, Da Bac district.

Businesses and farmers involved said so far this year, the local aquatic production has been stable without any disease outbreaks and with higher prices.

According to a report of the provincial Agriculture and Rural Development, Hoa Binh now has more than 7,100ha under sugarcane, mainly purple one; over 9,600ha of citrus fruit trees; and more than 2.7 thousand hectares of water surface for aquaculture.

The inspection session laid a basis for the delegation to objectively and comprehensively evaluate the production results of the summer-autumn crop, and forecast the outcomes of agricultural production in 2022.

Six-month industrial production index estimated to rise 20%

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.

Exports exceeded 1.1 billion USD in 6 months

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 effectiveness of professional models of association and group in Tan Lac district

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.

Building the brand of Muong village clean food

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.

Hoa Binh ethnic farmers join forces through collective economic models

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 farming area codes: Key to bringing Hoa Binh farm produce to global market

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.
