(HBO) – The People’s Committee of Yen Lac district has held a conference to review the efficiency of a chili-growing model for export in the locality in 2018.
The value linkage chain-based chili
cultivation model in the 2017 - 2018 period was successfully piloted in An Lac
commune.
The model has been implemented on 4ha of land
in An Lac commune, using F1 hybrid horn chili variety No. 20 under the form of production and consumption linkage, in the framework of a project on concentrated
chili and pumpkin production
and consumption linkage to ensure food safety in 2017-2018.
Now is the time for harvesting chili, and local farmers involved in the project
can initially evaluate the economic efficiency
produced by the plant, as well as the role played by partners involved in the
value chain.
Accordingly, the F1 hybrid horn chili seed can grow and develop well in An Lac
commune. It is resistant to cold weather. Pest infestation on this plant is at mild
level.
Although chilli cultivation under this
model required more financial and technical investment during the phase of seedlings
care and harvest than the cultivation of rice and maize, its economic
efficiency is superior. According to statistics from the Vietnam Chili Co.,Ltd,
total cost for each sao (360sq.m) of chili is 1,270,000 VND, while turnover is 6
million VND, thus, each sao brings a profit of 4,730,000 VND, translating into 131 million VND in profit
from 1 ha of chili./.
Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
