(HBO) - A delegation from the Vietnam Farmers’ Union has worked with the farmers’ association of the northern province of Hoa Binh to examine the implementation of Project 24 on building trade associations and groups.
After three years of implementing the union’s project, the farmers’
association has disseminated and guided to establish 63 chapters and groups
with 999 members, operating in cultivation and animal husbandry.
Through the farmers’ support fund, the
association has helped farmer households borrow a total of 2.7 billion VND
(116,100 USD) in loans for production and doing business; and over 15 billion
VND through the banks’ support fund.
The association also supported its members to buy
fertiliser and farming machines as well as enabled them to join training
activities on science-technology and equipment for production.
Since establishment, the chapters and groups
have been operating effectively, creating connectivity and mutual benefits for
members in production, business and services as well as goods competitiveness.
The organisation of farmers’ chapters at all
levels has received due attention and carried out regularly. Hoa Binh is now
home to 133,469 farmer members. Through the annual evaluation, over 80 percent of
farmers’ establishments record good performance. All farmers’ establishments
have funds. The average annual fund is 70,000 VND per member per year./.
Hoa Binh province’s economy posted an impressive Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) growth rate of 12.67% in the first quarter of 2025, representing a 12.76% year-on-year increase, the highest rate recorded since the beginning of the current tenure, according to the provincial Statistics Office. This robust growth reflects years of strategic groundwork and sets a strong foundation for the province’s annual growth target of over 10%.
With a focus on cash crop farming with science - technology application and brand building, Lac Thuy district is gradually increasing production value, improving people's life quality, and laying the foundation for sustainable socio-economic development.
In recent years, the economic development model "Hoa Binh Earthworm Farm” run by Mr. Bui Van Dang in Co Giua Hamlet, My Thanh Commune (Lac Son district) has not only brought stable economic value but it is also environmentally friendly, helping to protect and reduce pollution, contributing to the construction of a green and sustainable agriculture.
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.
