Vice Chairman of the provincial
People’s Committee Dinh Cong Su speaks at the conference.
In this year's summer-autumn crop, production direction was carried out early
in the favourable weather condition, and diseases on crops, livestock, and
aquaculture are predicted and well controlled.
The annual planting area in the crop reached 46,500 ha, up 1.7% over the same
period last year, and 4.4% higher than the set plan. Localities across the
province planted 33,200 ha of grain crops, equivalent to 99.5% of the planned
target. Their annual output was estimated at 36,300 tonnes in the crop.
Value chain-based production links have been formed and they operate
effectively. Up to 2,500 ha of ineffective rice farming land was converted to
other crops. About 9.300 ha of forest have been planted, 67.6% higher than the
set plan. The locality’s forest coverage is maintained at 51.5%.
With 2.700 ha of water surface area for aquaculture, Hoa Binh’s annual aquatic
output is estimated at 12,200 tonnes. The locality exported over 19,900 tonnes
of farm produce and nearly 25,000 cu.m of furniture and plywood.
At the conference, delegates discussed and
analysed results achieved, clearly pointing out shortcomings and limitations to
be addressed in the upcoming summer-autumn crops. The province is set to cultivate 62,000 ha in the 2023 - 2024 spring crop,
including 31.400 ha of grain crops.
In his speech at the event, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee
Dinh Cong Su acknowledged and highly valued the results achieved in the
production of the2023 summer-autumn crop. He urged localities to work hard in the upcoming crop in order to achieve
comprehensive results in terms of area, productivity, output, and value of
agricultural products.
The People's Committees of Hoa Binh city and districts must carefully review to
set production targets and develop specific production plans, he said,
stressing the need to proactively convert ineffective rice-growing areas to
other crops, and encourage farmers to promote the application of science and
technology in production to increase the value of farm produce.
He added that attention must be paid to maintaining the number of cattle and
poultry herds, developing concentrated production and livestock farming in
farms in accordance with the locality’s master plan for socio-economic
development, and promoting intensive fish farming in cages and rafts on rivers
and lakes.
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.
