(HBO) - Support activities for granting production unit and packhouse codes have been piloted in Hoa Binh province since 2019. As of April 2021, in the province, there were eight valid production unit codes (longan, banana and dragon fruit) with a total cultivated area of nearly 80 hectares, and seven packhouse codes for fresh fruits. Growing areas are regularly monitored for pests and for meeting food safety requirements. The quality of products is ensured, meeting the increasingly strict demand of the domestic market, and step by step serving export.
In 2020, 120 tonnes of Son Thuy longan (Kim
Boi) exported to China.
Experiencing the year 2020 with many
difficulties caused by unfavourable weather and the COVID-19 pandemic,
households that grow red dragon fruit in Quyet Tien residential area in Ba Hang
Doi township (Lac Thuy) are now excited to welcome the new crop with positive
signs.
This year's production is considered to be
quite favorable, and the total output of red dragon fruit is estimated at over
300 tonnes. Local households are building cold storage, packaging facilities to
better preserve products, thus meeting market demand.
The provincial People's Committee has
listed orange, tangerine, pomelo and high-quality rice as the province’s key
products. The province also has many products that have received special
attention such as longan, dragon fruit, banana, zucchini, and pumpkin and that
have many regional advantages.
It is necessary to issue more mechanisms
and policies in support of granting production unit codes for the province’s
key and advantageous products, strengthen management over production unit and
packhouse codes, and create favourable conditions for monitoring production and
quality of agricultural products./.
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.
