The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development on November 20 coordinated with Hai Dang Group Hoa Binh Seafood Company Limited to release 1.5 tonnes of fries into Hoa Binh Lake to regenerate aquatic resources, with a total value of 266 million VND (10,460 USD).
This, an activity within the framework of
the second Da River Fish and Shrimp Festival in Hoa Binh province, saw the
presence of Bui Duc Hinh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party
Committee, Chairman of the provincial People's Council; and Dinh Cong Su, Vice
Chairman of the provincial People's Committee.
Bui Duc Hinh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the provincial People's Council, and leaders of several departments and sectors release fries into Hoa Binh Lake.
The Da River flows through Hoa Binh
province with an area of about 8,900 hectares, belonging to 19 communes of Da
Bac, Mai Chau, Cao Phong and Tan Lac districts, and Hoa Binh city. Hoa Binh
Lake is considered a valuable treasure of organisms and aquatic resources of
the province. However, in recent years, fishing, especially destructive fishing
methods, has depleted aquatic resources in the lake.
Therefore, every year, the agricultural
sector has mobilised many resources to protect, regenerate and develop aquatic
resources in Hoa Binh Lake. The activity aims to help organisations and
individuals understand the importance and responsibility of protecting aquatic
resources, implementing aquaculture and exploitation in association with
environmental protection, and strictly prohibiting the use of explosives, toxic
substances and electric shocks to exploit aquatic resources. This contributes
to the regeneration and restoration of resources, and diversification of
aquatic species in the waters of Hoa Binh Lake.
In recent times, with its core role in building and fostering great national unity, Cao Phong district's Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee has actively carried out its responsibilities and front work, and closely collaborated with member organisations to encourage locals to implement the Party’s guidelines, and the State’s policies and laws. At the same time, it has worked to promote the dynamism, creativity, and contributions of officials, Party members, and local people to help the district develop further.

In recent years, residents in Van Mai commune, Mai Chau district, have expanded their fish farming areas and striven to build a strong reputation for their product. They are also working to establish it as an OCOP (One Commune, One Product) item to increase their income.
Outstanding rural industrial products of Hoa Binh province in 2024 were recently honoured and granted certificates, becoming a source of pride for producers and also a boost for local economic development.
