The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee has issued an action plan to ensure food safety, promote processing, and develop the market for agricultural, forestry, and fishery products in 2025.
In recent years, fish farming facilities along the Da River have
prioritised product quality and food safety.
The plan aims to enhance product quality and safety, increase product value
through brand building, step up processing, build sustainable supply chains,
foster sale in the domestic market, expand export markets, and improve the
competitiveness of local agro-forestry-fishery products, thereby contributing
to a modern, efficient, and sustainable agricultural sector.
Key targets for 2025
include all relevant directions issued by the Government, ministries, and
central agencies to be promptly implemented; over 85% of the personnel in
charge of food safety, processing and market development to receive annual
professional training; 99% of producers and traders to meet food safety
requirements; all small operators to sign food safety commitments; a 10% annual
reduction in food safety violations in local production zones.
The province will
maintain the certified farming areas that already met the GAP and organic
standards, help establishments to maintain production and packaging unit codes,
and support 10 new facilities to attain certification. It will also sustain
efficient supply chains and develop 10 more while intensifying trade promotion
and boosting connectivity to increase the sale of agro-forestry-fishery
products, especially in international markets.
Six main tasks are prioritised, including timely policy implementation;
effective public communications on food safety regulations and market
development; digital transformation in quality management, processing, and
market development; increased food quality and safety, processing, and market
development; strengthened inspection and law enforcement; stronger trade
promotion in both domestic and foreign markets; and enhanced product
traceability and branding.
By harmoniously combining traditional medicine with modern medical practices, the Hoa Binh Traditional Medicine Hospital is strengthening its role in the province’s healthcare system.
The Dao ethnic community in Tien Lam hamlet, Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district is not only preserving their generations-old herbal remedies but also giving them a touch of professionalism. The Nam Ngoc Sang traditional medicine cooperative stands as a testament to this harmonious blend of ancestral knowledge and contemporary production techniques, creating quality herbal products that safeguard cultural heritage while generating tangible economic value.
Every March, the spirit of volunteerism, dedication, and youthful enthusiasm surges across Vietnam. In Hoa Binh province, young people are actively taking on challenging tasks, contributing to meaningful projects, and upholding President Ho Chi Minh’s call: "where there is a need, there is youth; where there are difficulties, youth will be present."
The National Science and Engineering Fair for secondary and high school students was held at Ton Duc Thang University in Ho Chi Minh City from March 19-21 by the Ministry of Education and Training.
As women's participation in key leadership positions of Hoa Binh province is still modest while some women in rural and mountainous areas or from ethnic minorities face limited access to policies, the provincial Party Committee's Organisation Board has advised the provincial Party Committee's Standing Board to direct Party committees at all levels and localities to pay more attention to training female personnel and creating favourable conditions for women to take over leadership and management roles, thus addressing a shortage in the number of female cadres.
