The Cuban delegation and
representatives of the Research Institute for Aquaculture No 1 visit a cage
fish farming model on Hoa Binh Lake.
The RIA1 is implementing the third phase of a project to support Cuba in
developing aquaculture in order to increase aquaculture production in the Latin
American nation. Within the framework of a training
session on raising tilapia for Cuban fishing engineers, the institute organised
a field trip to learn and experience a cage fish farming model on Hoa Binh
Lake.
Representatives of the provincial Fisheries Sub-department briefed trainees on
the development of cage fish farming on Hoa Binh Lake. In the first six months
of this year, the province has 4,930 fish cages with a yield of about 1.2
tonnes per cage. Local farmers raise many species of high economic value such
as black carp, tilapia and sturgeon. Currently, cage fish farming on Hoa Binh
Lake is developing strongly, creating more jobs for local residents and
improving their incomes.
The Cuban delegation visited a number
of models in Thai Binh ward (Hoa Binh city) and Vay Nua commune (Da Bac
district) during which owners shared experiences of cage fish farming on the
lake.
At the end of the working trip, the delegation said they hope that in the
future there will be more cooperation projects in the field of fisheries in
general and fish cage farming in particular./.
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.
