(HBO) – Households in Hoa Binh have developed livestock breeding with many effective models of cooperation groups and cooperatives in buffalo and cow breeding. In Luong Son district, the breeding cow cooperation group in Nghia Kep village, Hop Chau commune is considered as a typical one.
The breeding cow
growing model of member households of Nguyen Thi Thuy cooperation group shows
high efficiency.
The daily job of Nguyen Xuan Linh and his wife, members of
the breeding cow cooperation group in Nghia Kep village, is cutting and
gathering grass for cows.
Linh said that since 2014 when he started switching the
breeding of other kinds of livestock to cows, his family’s income has been
improved and become more stable.
As an agricultural village, Nghia Kep has favourable natural
conditions for breeding and cultivation.
Nguyen Cong Chinh, head of Nghia Kep village said that while
switching the structure of plant cultivation, the village has set up a number
of models attracting households with the same interest and goal to support each
other to sustainably reduce poverty and become richer.
Three typical and effective groups in the locality are those
to develop citrus trees, chicken and breeding cow.
With 16 members, the breeding cow cooperation group in Nghia
Kep currently has 37 cows. Incomes of its members are from middle to high
level.
The locals have had strong awareness of ensuring reserve
food for cows as well as methods to raise, and prevent diseases for the cow
herd, thus maintaining sustainability and efficiency of the model.
So far, the model has been expanded to the whole village,
bringing the total cows to 60, contributing to enhancing per capita income for
locals to 17 million VND in 2018 and expectedly 20 million VND in 2019.
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.
