(HBO) - Implementing the "Farmers emulate in good production and business, unite to help each other get rich and reduce poverty sustainably" movement, the Farmers' Associations at all levels in Hoa Binh province have disseminated information to all communes, wards, and towns, and encouraged association members to participate in the movement. By the end of September, the whole province had over 65,570 households registered for the title of good production and business households.
Farmers in Dong Tam commune (Lac Thuy district) improve their incomes by developing cultivation models.
In order to support members to well implement the movement, the associations at all levels have carried out many activities, coordinated in organising 159 training and science and technology transfer courses on livestock and poultry raising, cultivation, and disease prevention for buffaloes and cows for 8,351 members.
They provided consultancy and introduced jobs to 718 farmer members with an average monthly income of 5-7 million VND; supplied over 1,260 tonnes of fertilisers of all kinds, 135 tonnes of animal feed, 34.5 tonnes of corn and rice varieties; supported the sale of over 25 tonnes of agricultural products for farmers in districts and Hoa Binh city; and provided 25,000 traceability stamps for Hai Dang Cooperative (Lac Thuy district) and safe farm produce stores (Hoa Binh city).
In the first nine months of this year, the associations at all levels have disbursed the capital sourced from the farmer support fund for 31 projects; along with the entrusted capital with banks, thus meeting the borrowing needs of members. According to statistics of the provincial Farmers' Association, the farmer support fund has to date offered loans for 190 projects with 1,534 borrowers; and outstanding loans from banks have reached 3.46 trillion VND./.
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.
