(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./.
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.
