(HBO) - Cooperation and linkage in production in association with farm produce sales plays an important role in agricultural production, helping expand production scale, promote technology application, improve management capacity, and increase the interests of participants, especially farmers.

To boost agricultural
production linkages in value chains, the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee
issued Decision No.1340 dated June 5, 2018 approving a project to build and
develop food-safety value chains of key agricultural products in the 2018-2020
period, with a vision to 2025 in Hoa Binh province.
To date, agricultural
production in association with marketing and origin tracing has received more
and more attention. The province currently has 51 supply chains of safe food
and farm produce such as tea, orange, grapefruit, pork, chicken meat, goat
meat, honey and fish.
Stepping up linkages
in agricultural production has contributed to increasing the awareness, role
and responsibility of producers, ensuring market demand-supply, and protecting
consumers’ health.
However, there remain
several shortcomings, including small production scale, asynchronous
infrastructure, dependence on weather, instable market prices and cooperatives’
weak management capacity.
In the time to come,
localities are advised to pay attention to developing the processing industry,
concentrated material growing areas and marketing; and create an open mechanism
to encourage competent enterprises to apply high technology in production
towards cooperation and connectivity in value chains.
It is necessary to
develop farm economy, promote the development of collective economy, diversify
forms of production and distribution linkages, develop electronic origin
tracing systems, support production and business facilities in origin tracing,
and test quality before putting products to the market so as to sustainably
developing production and distribution chains./.
In the first quarter of 2024, the credit institutions in the province have actively deployed the legal documents of the State and the State Bank relating to currency, credit and interest rates. At the same time, they have promoted the capital mobilization, focusing on the solutions to expand the credit investment along with strengthening the credit quality management, lending to priority programs to promptly meet the capital needs for export - business and consumer demand during Tet in 2024.
Outside the key economic region of Hoa Binh, yet Lac Son district has utilised its potential and strengths regarding labour, land, and transportation connectivity to attract investment to the locality, contributing to promoting socio-economic development.
In a move to expedite the execution and disbursement of the 2024 capital plan for ODA projects, aiming for a disbursement rate of over 90% of the allocated funding, the Hoa Binh People's Committee issued Document No. 483/UBND-KTN on April 3, 2024, regarding such efforts.

The Hoa Binh administration was entrusted by the Prime Minister with a budget of 3.43 trillion VND (142.91 million USD) for investment in 2024. The provincial People's Council approved nearly 3.76 trillion VND, which has been meticulously allocated to projects, achieving 100% of the assigned capital plan.
Hoa Binh province has mobilised all resources to propel local agricultural products to make inroads into foreign markets, towards lifting the export turnover of key agricultural products to 137.8 million USD by 2030, accounting for 3.4% of the locality’s total export value of goods.
The locality aims to export farm produce to the US, the European Union, the UK, China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea.
