In 2017-2019, the provincial People’s Committee
approved a list of 31 projects linking chain production with a total funding of
over 30 billion VND from the local rural area programme. Effective
production-sale connection models could be named as Song
Da fish, Lac Thuy and Lac Son chicken, Cao Phong orange, which are
produced towards increasing quality and brand management.
Representatives from Vingroup introduced its
Vineco and Vinmax systems and proposed some conditions to connect production
and sales of products, which should meet the following basic criteria: meeting
food safety standards according to Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices
(VietGAP), having cooperatives or businesses organising production and sales of
products, ensuring packaging and traceability of products.
Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee
Ngo Van Tuan asked the local agricultural sector to push ahead with
restructuring and promoting local specialities in association with geographical
indications; organising communications and inspecting the implementation of
policies on capital and land; reforming and developing production models and
building concentrated material zones; improving processing, preserving,
packaging, and labelling capacity to increase the value of products; and
improving business investment environment.
He suggested regularly organising trade
promotion activities and introducing local special farm produce as well as
developing agricultural value chains. Businesses must be committed to creating
high-quality products, while relevant agencies and departments study to
establish working groups to support sales of farm produce.
The official hoped Vingroup would provide
technical assistance for the province and assist in producing, cultivating and
trading products.
At the conference, Vingroup leaders along with
representatives from local businesses and association of farmers signed a
memorandum of understanding on cooperation./.
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.
