(HBO) – Over the past years, all-level Party Committees and authorities of Lac Thuy district have viewed ensuring food security as a task of special significance.
Farmers in Residential Area No. 5, Chi Ne township, Lac Thuy district, utilise mechanisation in rice harvesting.
Residential Area No. 5 has 25 hectares of farming land with 85 farming households that have actively restructured plant cultivation, using high-yield and high-quality rice varieties.
Under a scheme on agricultural restructuring for 2021-2025, Lac Thuy’s total farming land is maintained at 9,300 hectares and cultivation accounts for 51.3% of the local agro-forestry-fishery sector.
The district has also promoted the organic vegetable farming model, under which farmers, cooperatives, production groups and businesses are connected with each other, with a total area of 155 hectares, covering Chi Ne and Ba Hang Doi townships, and Dong Tam, Phu Nghia and Thong Nhat communes. Meanwhile, the area of fruit trees stands at over 1,490 hectares.
The locality has successfully rolled out the production and consumption model of Bac Huong 9 – a high-quality variety – with an area of 100 hectares in Thong Nhat, Khoan Du and Phu Thanh communes, raising the area of high-quality rice varieties to 750 hectares, making up 23% of the combined rice area in the district.
Lac Thuy orange, chicken, custard-apple, goat and tea are now major brands of the district.
Hoang Thi Thu Hang, Vice Chairwoman of the district People’s Committee, said Lac Thuy has implemented a plan on ensuring food security towards green agriculture, climate change adaptation, sustainable development and environmental protection.
Lac Thuy will adjust and supplement the land use planning scheme to better serve the agro-forestry-fishery sector in line with regulations, and attract investors in agriculture and rural development, she said./.
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.
