(HBO) – In this year's rainy season, the travel by residents in Lac Luong commune is much more convenient. There are no longer muddy roads, as they have been asphalted and concreted. In late March, villagers were delighted and proud to receive a certificate recognising the commune as meeting new-style rural standards. Earlier, other particularly difficult rural areas of Yen Thuy district such as Huu Loi and Bao Hieu were also recognised as fulfilling new-style rural building criteria. By now, three out of the five extremely difficult communes in the district have completed this work.
New-style rural
building has contributed to creating a green, clean and beautiful landscape for
Yen Tri commune (Yen Thuy).
Implementing the National Target Programme on New-style
Rural Area Building, Yen Thuy district has invested resources in upgrading its
roads. To date, 100% of the district, communal and inter-commune roads have
been asphalted and concreted; and 89% of the main roads of villages and hamlets
and 71% of their alleys concreted and cemented.
Along with infrastructure, social welfare activities in the
district have received due attention. The work of building communes in
accordance with the national standards on health has been implemented
effectively. Currently, the whole district has all the 11 communes and township
that meet the national standards of health, with the rate of people
participating in health insurance reaching 95%. Regarding the building of
cultural life, the percentage of families of culture accounts for 88%, and that
of cultural residential areas, about 96%. At present, 31 out of the 38 schools,
equal to 81.57%, have been recognised as meeting national standards. The
district is striving to raise the proportion to 89.47% by the end of 2023.
Bui Huyen, Vice Chairman of the Yen Thuy district People's
Committee, said that the national target programme on new-style rural area
building for the 2021-2025 period has received attention by the Party
committees at all levels, and the active participation of people and the
society. The material and spiritual life of people has been raised. To date,
eight out of the district’s 10 communes have been recognised as meeting
new-style rural building standards, and one as a model new-style rural area.
The effectiveness of the programme has made an important contribution to
promoting the local socio-economic development, building and embellishing
infrastructure, and especially improving the quality of life of local people.
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.
