(HBO) - Farmers in Hoa Binh province are leveraging technology to change agricultural production towards safe and smart agriculture. Farms have become larger with billions of dong in investment that has yielded high-quality agricultural products and a stable and a prosperous life for many farmers.
Farmers in Dong
Nhat village, Dong Tam commune, Lac Thuy district develop the model of raising
chickens for eggs, ensuring food security.
In
2018, Ms. Bui Thi Lich, Huong hamlet, Yen Phu commune, Lac Son district took
part in a free-range chicken project. She built a barn capable of housing 1,000
breeding chickens. She also raised earthworms as chicken feed. Lich said raising
chickens in the garden combined with raising earthworms can take advantage of
locally available food sources, helping to reduce feed costs, increasing
breeding efficiency, and limiting diseases. Worms are a nutritious food source
for chickens, a healthy substitute for industrial feed. Cultivation of
earthworms is relatively easy to do, Lich said. She added, since starting the
project, her family's chicken products are popular with customers thanks to the
quality of the meat. Profits from this model increase day by day.
"Farmers
4.0” in the province are gradually changing the way they think about
agricultural production, increasing the application of science and technology, building
a smart agriculture that adapts to climate change.
In
the first quarter of 2022, the Farmers’ Association supported thousands of
farmer households to access loans from banks of over 3.5 trillion VND. The
association also actively coordinates with departments, branches and businesses
to provide training for local farmers on skills in producing clean agricultural
products and food hygiene and safety.
Mr. Le Van Thach, Chairman of the Provincial
Farmers' Association said in the past, most localities were stuck in the old
way of farming. Automatic irrigation technology, smart membrane systems, tissue
culture are the norm now with farmers. Many livestock farms apply scientific and
technical advances such as closed cages, installation of automatic feeders, air
conditioning systems for cooling in summer, heating in winter, ventilation fan
systems, livestock waste treatment models to ensure disease-free livestock
production processes, without causing environmental pollution. This is also the
basic premise for farmers 4.0 to gradually master technology, and apply it to
daily life and production towards a more professional and modern agricultu
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee met on March 18 to review and guide major investment projects aimed at boosting local socio-economic development.
The air is thick with the hum of drills and the clatter of machinery as the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau expressway takes shape amid the rugged terrain. Welding sparks illuminate the faces of workers, and concrete mixers churn relentlessly, laying fresh pavement on the newly-carved road. The construction site buzzes with a palpable sense of urgency, particularly in Hoa Binh province where the expressway's future is being forged.
The northern province of Hoa Binh, with over 467,000 hectares of natural forest and more than 100,000 hectares of production forest, holds significant potential for carbon credit market development.
Replacing substandard houses with more sturdy ones by June 30 is the direction given by Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, at a meeting held in early March by the provincial Steering Committee for the programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for the needy.
Recognising digital transformation as an inevitable trend, authorities and agencies in Hoa Binh have made great efforts in the work by focusing on three core pillars - digital government, digital society, and digital economy, resulting in enhanced competitiveness, improved investment climate, and ensured economic and social welfare.
In recent years, Da Bac district has improved administrative reform with a one-stop shop mechanism, streamlined inter-agency procedures, and a shift to digital platforms. These efforts have enhanced public service efficiency and contributed to local socio-economic development.
