The application of high technology in agricultural development is proving to be a key approach to enhancing production efficiency and reducing challenges for the sector. Therefore, localities in Hoa Binh province continue to develop hi-tech agricultural models and smart farming practices to gradually establish concentrated production areas, creating large-scale and high-quality commercial products.

V-ORGANIC organic agricultural cooperative in Quyet Chien commune (Tan Lac)
plants vegetables in accordance with organic standards, using bio-fertilisers
during the crop care process.
With a total land area of 8 hectares, V-ORGANIC organic
agricultural cooperative in Quyet Chien commune (Tan Lac) has invested in an
automatic sprinkler irrigation system to plant various organic vegetables
safely. All processes from soil preparation, planting, care, and harvesting are
closely supervised by technical staff. All members and labourers are trained in
safe production procedures and provided with complete personal protective
equipment.
Can Thi Thuy Trang, Chairwoman of the Board of the
cooperative, stated that by strictly adhering to safety requirements and
standards, the cooperative’s vegetables have high micronutrient content, and an
average yield of 60 tonnes per hectare. As a result, 100% of the products are
sold at stable prices through contracts with the cooperative in Hanoi.
To date, approximately 150 businesses, cooperatives,
cooperative groups, and households have applied high technology and been
certified with VietGAP, GlobalGAP, and organic standards for crops, livestock,
and aquaculture, covering a total area of about 2,300 hectares for crop
production, over 200,000 cubic metres for aquaculture, and 1,600 tonnes of meat
products annually. The province has around 120 livestock and poultry farms, and
four facilities applying new technologies in preservation and processing.
There are currently about 80 enterprises, cooperatives, and
agricultural, forestry, and fishery production and trading establishments
participating in the product traceability system, with 400 products having
traceability stamps and being promoted on the website hb.check.net.vn. The
number of units installing camera systems with internet connection, and setting
up websites to promote their products is increasing.
In addition, to reduce labour, increase productivity and
product quality, and reduce input material costs, localities have expanded the
application of water-saving irrigation technology, biotechnology in production
and tissue culture technology; and the use of biological plant protection
products in production.
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.
