(HBO) - From a district with a fragmented agricultural production, Tan Lac has become a specialised agricultural production area thanks to the application of science and technology and supporting policies of the Government. Currently, it has 16 cooperatives and cooperative groups with 1,150 ha of red fresh pomelo, 1,100 ha of sugarcane and 760 fish farming cages. All cooperatives’ products obtain VietGAP certificates and five are certified by "One Commune, One Product” programme.

Farming chayote in Tan Lac district’s Quyet Chien commune has
brought about stable income for local residents.
As the gateway connecting the northwestern provinces with the capital city of
Hanoi, the district has different terrains suitable to various types of fruits
and vegetables. Tan Lac also has the potential to develop community-based
tourism, ecotourism, and plant forestry trees, medicinal plants and Shan Tuyet
tea.
Bui Duc Hien, head of the district's Division of Agriculture and Rural
Development, said taking advantage of the locality, the district has
concertedly implemented policy solutions to attract investment to the
agricultural sector, including supporting residents, cooperatives and
cooperative groups to access credit or attending training courses for science
and technology transfer.
It also restructures the agricultural sector in association with new-style rural
building, changing and developing the crop structure towards safe and efficient
production, meeting the market’s demand.
In order to promote the sale of products in both domestic and foreign markets,
the district People's Committee signed a cooperation agreement to develop a
chain of production and sale of red fresh pomelos with FUSA Organic Agriculture
joint Stock Company, as well as inked a memorandum of understanding with
Lovefarm Organic Pharmaceutical joint Stock Company on the deployment of a medicinal
plant cultivation area and the construction of a processing area for medicinal
herbs.
Besides domestic consumption, 49 tonnes of sugarcane have been
shipped to the European Union (EU). Red fresh pomelos have been granted
collective marks by the National Office of Intellectual Property. It is
expected that in November 2022, the first container of the fruit will be
exported to the EU market.
The livestock industry has gradually transformed from small-scale production to
concentrated, bio-secure one. Regarding aquaculture, the total production in
the district is estimated at 1,100 tonnes.
The district's Party Organisation will focus its direction on the application
of scientific and technological advances in the agricultural sector in the
future. Farmers, cooperatives, and cooperative groups will be encouraged to
apply organic agriculture in association with the development of different
types of tourism models. The One Commune One Product (OCOP) Programme will be
promoted along with new-style rural areas building. Environmental protection
and sustainable development will be associated with socio-economic development
plans of each sector. The district will work to make agriculture its spearhead
economic sector./
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.
