People’s Committee present certificates of merit to individuals with great
contributions to the emulation movement of "Tan Lac district people join hands
in building new-style rural areas” in the 2016-2020 period.
After 10 years of implementing the Target Programme on
New-Style Rural Area Building, the district has had six communes completing all
the 19 criteria of the programme, bringing the number of average criteria
reached to 12.5 per commune, up 7.03 criteria compared to 2010.
The district has paid special attention to developing
production and forming connectivity chains to produce and sell red-flesh
grapefruits, caged fish, safe vegetable, and Nam Son tangerine.
The locality has supported three cooperatives to join the
commercial goods chain. In 2019, per capita income of the district locals
reached 43.45 million VND (1,868 USD) per year, up 17.55 million VND per year
compared to that in 2010. The poverty rate was brought down to 19.66 percent in
2018 from 39.95 percent in 2010.
For the 2021-2025 period, the district sets major targets,
including 10 communes recognised as new-style rural area, two communes reaching
the advanced criteria for new-style rural areas, and 10 villages and three
communes becoming model new-style rural area.
Per capita income is expected to top 65 million VND per
year, while the poverty ratio is hoped to be reduced to 15 percent, and the rate
of trained labour is set to reach over 65 percent.
The district will strive for 97 percent of locals joining
health insurance, and over 40 percent accessing safe water. At the same time,
the locality will ensure and improve the quality of new-style rural area
criteria. It is estimated that the district will need over 1.02 trillion VND
for the programme in the 2021-2025 period. It has given seven groups of tasks
and solutions to complete the goals.
On the occasion, the People’s Committee of Tan Lac presented
certificates of merit to 11 outstanding collectives as well as 24 individuals
and households in the movement of "Tan Lac district people join hands in
building new-style rural areas” in the 2016-2020 period./.
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.
