(HBO) – With the strong determination of the whole political system and the high consensus of the people, the building of new-style rural areas in Lac Thuy district, Hoa Binh province, has seen significant changes. The majority of officials and locals have become more aware of the matter and contributed to developing rural areas in many creative ways. So far, eight communes in the district have been recognised as new rural areas, including three particularly disadvantaged ones - Lien Hoa, Phu Thanh and Yen Bong. Lac Thuy is striving to become new-style rural area by 2020.
The district’s People’s
Committee has approved a project restructuring the agricultural sector towards
increasing added value and sustainable development between 2016 and 2020,
focusing on cultivation.
The district has established concentrated farm
produce production areas and large-scale fields. It is now home to 1,146
hectares of citrus fruits and 200 hectares of mixed plants.
Besides implementing the three value chains,
including two growing chilli for export and safe vegetable on 40 hectares and
one raising 10,000 chickens, the district has maintained the operation of farm
produce and safe food cooperatives, and attracted businesses to invest in
growing safe vegetable and medicinal plants according to value chain links such
as Lac Thuy Clean Agriculture Company, Vietnam Chilli Co., Ltd., Northern Green
Land Real Estate and Services JSC, and Sinh Loc Humanity Vocational Training
JSC.
As of 2018, the per capita income in the
district reached 38.9 million VND (1,659 USD), up 2.5 times against 2011. The
rate of poor households was brought down to 10.98 percent, or 10.42 percent
lower than the figure in 2011.
Lac Thuy
district develops chains for raising chickens and builds brand for Lac Thuy
chicken.
Lac Thuy has built a roadmap to meet all the criteria
of the new-style rural building programme by 2020. The district strives to
continuously improve the eight recognised new rural communes as well as build
An Binh and Khoan Du into new rural areas in 2019 and An Lac, Dong Mon, and
Hung Thi in 2020./.
In Lac Thuy district, communes have been succeeded in promoting their One Commune-One Product (OCOP) products while others are still struggling to position their typical farming products in market. Some communes in the district still fail to have their products met OCOP programme’s requirements, while others have seen their certifications expired.
The inspectorate agency of Hoa Binh province has issued Official Dispatch No. 1090/TTr-PCTN to provincial departments, agencies, localities, business associations, enterprises, and investors regarding measures to improve informal component indexes of the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI).
Hoa Binh is taking concrete steps to improve its investment environment, with a strong focus on supporting businesses, settling obstacles for strategic investors, and creating opportunities for robust development in the coming years.
Under the blazing early summer sun, the construction site of Nhuan Trach Industrial Park (IP) in Luong Son district is abuzz with activities from dawn to dusk, a testament to the determination of the investor to meet their construction targets on schedule.
