Proactively implementing solutions to ensure the supply of agricultural products for domestic and foreign markets as well as for export, the provincial agricultural sector and localities have encouraged and guided farmers to increase production, promote linkages, and actively monitor weather developments for prompt response to protect production.
Farmers in Dan Chu ward (Hoa Binh city) take care of
chili growing areas to promptly meet orders from partners.
To ensure the supply, from the beginning of this year, the
provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has directed the
local Desks of Agriculture and Rural Development and Hoa Binh city’s economic
affairs desk to closely monitor the production situation, and weather and
disease developments so as to carry out the care, protection, and harvesting of
agricultural, forestry, and fishery products on time; proactively control and
prevent diseases in livestock and poultry; and maintain stable supply of
essential agricultural materials for production.
Based on the assessment of the production capacity of
localities, the department has estimated that Hoa Binh is able to supply many
types of agricultural products and food in the last months of 2024 and early
2025.
As for export, in the first nine months of this year, 17
local agricultural and forestry product exporters shipped a total output of
over 890,000 tonnes abroad, earning over 228 billion VND (nearly 9 million USD).
Bui Duy Linh, Deputy Director of the provincial Department
of Agriculture and Rural Development, said that to meet the needs of people and
serve the export demand, his office is carrying out measures to promote
production and consumption, including supporting localities, key production
areas, cooperatives, and businesses to find markets and partners; mobilizing and encouraging producers to participate in the production chains, teams, and
groups to turn out products with uniform types and quality; concertedly
building a brand identity system for agricultural products on direct and online
platforms; and promoting product traceability. Efforts will be made to attract
businesses to invest in processing and preservation technologies to increase
the value and ensure the quality of agricultural products, reduce market
pressure, and serve domestic consumption and export.
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. There was the attendance of the representatives of leaders of a number of departments, branches, businesses, manufacturers and distributors inside and outside the province.
The One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme is reshaping the rural economy of Lac Son district, helping improve living standards, particularly among the ethnic minority communities in remote areas of Lac Son district.
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.
