(HBO) - The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of northern Hoa Binh province will invest nearly 3 billion VND (129,000 USD) to implement a safe vegetable production and distribution project in value chain for 2018-2020.
Under a decision of the provincial People’s Committee, the
investment is sourced from the budget of the national target programme on
building new-style rural areas and the corresponding capital of cooperatives
joining the project.
In
2019-2020, the project receives 1.23 billion VND (52,890 USD) from the national
target programme on building new-style rural areas and the corresponding
capital from cooperatives and locals directly participating in the project.
The project will be carried out on nearly 66
hectares. Two cooperatives joining production are Thanh An organic agriculture
cooperative (Nhuan Trach commune, Luong Son district) and Tay Bac safe
vegetable cooperative (Quyet Chien commune, Tan Lac district). The first
distribution partners are TH True Milk and Institute of Organic
Agricultural Economics.
Cooperatives joining the project will be
supported to build new-style agricultural cooperative models and implement safe
vegetable production chain to Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices (VietGAP).
Afterward, they will be assisted in developing brands and links with businesses
to sell products through economic contracts.
By December 2020, the project will be completed
and expanded across the province./.
With the motto of "polite, dedicated, professional, and lawful,” over the years, Phu Cuong commune in Tan Lac district has gradually improved the quality of processing administrative procedures, winning high satisfaction from local people and businesses.
Stretching over 300 meters, valued at hundreds of million dong and built to the new-style rural standards, a concrete road in De hamlet, Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district, was completed by the end of 2023 thanks to the collective contributions of armed forces at provincial and district levels coupled with the active participation of military units stationed throughout the district.
Over the years, the People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district has issued many plans and programmes to speed up the administrative reform, aiming to better serve local people and businesses.
Kim Boi district is drafting 23 planning projects which are expected to help boost the local socio-economic development, attract investors, and mobilise resources for development, said Vice chairman of the district People’s Committee Tran Tuan Son.
They include the one on Bo urban area development until 2045, 20 zoning, and 12 on rural residential areas in communes.
This year, Hoa Binh province strives to have eight communes recognised as meeting new-style rural area standards and five communes satisfying exemplary new-style rural area standards. Since the beginning of the year, the provincial People's Committee has drastically directed the implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building to fulfil the set target.
Cao Phong district achieved positive socio-economic development results last year as drastic comprehensive measures were implemented with high determination of its whole political system, said the Secretary of the district Party Committee Ha Van Di.
