(HBO) – The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee has held a meeting to verify Hoa Binh city’s new-style rural area status. Vice Chairman of the committee Nguyen Van Dung chaired the event.
The province’s verification team examines the cow farming
model of the agricultural services cooperative of Dan Chu commune, Hoa Binh
city.
By October 3, all the seven communes of Hoa Binh
city had been recognised as new-style rural areas.
Over the last eight years, authorities and
agencies at all levels have mobilised resources and effectively integrated
capital sources to upgrade local infrastructure, thus giving a facelift to
rural areas. They have also moved to restructure agriculture so as to boost
mass production, form concentrated production zones, and apply scientific and
technological advances to improve product quality and value.
To raise residents’ income, the communes have
built production development projects basing on local potential and advantages
to gradually form specialised farming zones, promote specialties and create
products typical for them. These projects include farming cows, fish,
vegetables, lingzhi mushroom, guava and longan.
Hoa Binh city houses one industrial park on the left
bank of the Da River and two industrial clusters which have employed a number
of locals, thus raising the rate of people with jobs in the seven communes to
95.7 percent. The rate of trained labourers is 40.06 percent.
Average per capita income in rural areas has
risen from 15.8 million VND (676.5 USD) in 2011 to 38.84 million VND (nearly
1,700 USD) in 2017. The multidimensional household poverty rate has fallen to
1.31 percent in the city.
About 90.3 percent of the seven communes’
population has been covered by health insurance, while 98.5 percent of local
families have accessed clean water. Hoa Binh city has also ensured security and
order and does not have debt in basic construction projects./.
