(HBO) – Over the last 5 years, science and technology’s contribution to Hoa Binh’s economic growth has increased from 23.08 percent to 30.24 percent and that of labour productivity rose from 5.25 percent to 8.33 percent. Science, technology and innovation has become a key accelerator of growth in labour productivity and improvement of the province’s competitiveness.



Farmers in Muong Chieng Commune, Da Bac District apply technology in intensive farming of J02 rice variety to enhance productivity and production value.

The province has benefited from agricultural and rural projects as parts of the Ministry of Science and Technology’s programmes aiming to accelerate technology transfer and apply science and technology to boost socio-economic development in rural and mountainous areas. 

From 2011 – 2020, Hoa Binh implemented four national science-technology tasks with total budget of 18.43 billion VND from the central budget, including the pilot production of medicinal plants in Lac Thuy District, preservation of genetic resources of "tai chua" plant (garcinia cowa), application of biological measures to prevent certain pests on orange and tangerine roots, and drafting a proposal for long-term population resettlement and solutions for effective management of land in areas vulnerable to natural disasters and climate change. 

The accomplishment of the national tasks has played a part in reducing poverty and minimizing impacts of natural disasters, and pest and disease control in the province, helping it enhance productivity and develop commodity production zones.

In addition, the province has implemented 17 projects under the programme supporting the application and transfer of technological advances for socio-economic development in rural and mountainous areas with total budget of close to 106 billion VND. The projects mainly focus on the areas of agriculture and rural development to help create farming practices using advanced and scalable techniques. 

During the past 2 years, the province has carried out a project to boost agricultural growth and develop livelihood for natural disaster-affected people across 13 communes and townships and 91 villages in Da Bac District. Many other projects have also proved effective in other localities in recent years.
