(HBO) - Implementing the 10th Party Central Committee’s Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW dated August 5, 2008 on agriculture, farmers and rural areas, the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No. 02-NQ / TU dated June 7, 2011 on the construction of new-style rural areas for the 2011-2015 period with orientations to 2020. It is a sound and timely policy of the Party to the welcome of the people. Therefore, the provincial Party units, authorities and political system have taken active, proactive and creative approaches to implementation.
Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue and Secretary of the provincial
Party Committee Bui Van Tinh visit stalls of Hoa Binh’s outstanding farm
produce.
Under the drastic directions of the Party units and
authorities from the grassroots level and with public consensus, the province’s
new-style rural development campaign has over the past decade reaped important
results. The countryside has a facelift with modern infrastructure, especially
cultural infrastructure meeting demand of rural residents. Production has
changed positively and been oriented towards large-scale goods and effective
cooperation. Economic development projects and models have been spread, thus
creating a driving force for the local socio-economic development.
As of late 2018, the province posted a gross regional
domestic product growth of 8.36 percent, ranking 19th nationwide and
fourth among the 14 northern midland provinces. Its total State budget revenue reached
3.4 trillion VND, ranking third among the six northwestern provinces and
seventh among the 14 northern midland provinces. The average per capita GRDP is
estimated at 50.7 million VND, ranking second among the six northwestern
provinces and third among the 14 northern mid-land provinces. The average per
capita income in rural areas reached 32 million VND each year, up 23.7 million
VND compared to that in 2011. The rate of poor households in rural areas was
14.28 percent, down by 17.23 percent from 2011.
During the 2016-2019 period, the province raised over 11.44
trillion VND for the new-style rural development programme.
With such achievements, the province now has 82 out of the 191
communes that meet new rural development criteria, accounting for 42.9 percent
of the total communes (fulfilling the province’s resolution one year ahead of
schedule), an increase of 51 communes compared to 2015. Last year, Hoa Binh
city was the first district-level administrative unit of the province to complete
the task of building new-style rural areas two years ahead of schedule. The
number of new-style rural development criteria in the province averages 15.01
per commune, up 10.61 criteria compared to 2011 and up 3.51 criteria compared
to the late 2015. Not any commune now meets below 10 criteria. This year, Luong
Son district is expected to meet new-style rural development criteria,
surpassing the plan by 200 percent under the Prime Minister’s Decision
No.1865/QD-TTg dated November 23, 2018./.
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.
