(HBO) – Many officials and Party members have taken the lead in agricultural activities, encouraging a strong and fruitful crop restructuring movement in mountainous Doc Lap commune, Ky Son district of Hoa Binh province.

(Ky Son district), directly instructs local farmers how to cultivate vegetables
according to clean production standards in the fields.
Tran Dai Nghi, a resident in Noi hamlet, said
his family used to have 2,000 sq.m of rice farming land which was ineffective.
Complying with the resolution of the hamlet’s Party cell and with the guidance
of local officials and Party members, his family switched from ineffective rice
cultivation to farming other crops. Last year, aside from farming wax gourd,
they also grew an overlapping crop of French bean. Their products were sold
well as they met the market demand.
Apart from about 80 million VND (nearly 3,500
USD) in wax gourd sales, his family also earned more than 10 million VND (440
USD) from French bean, thereby helping to improve their lives.
He added many people in the hamlet have also
successfully converted ineffective rice farming land, thus gaining stable
income and promoting their living standards.
Secretary of the Doc Lap communal Party
Committee Nguyen Hong Binh said crop restructuring has become a strong movement
in not only Noi hamlet but also in all hamlets across the commune. In this
movement, officials and Party members have continually played a key role in
instructing farmers to follow clean production standards right in the fields,
and they have become true "teachers”.
As a result, instead of rice monoculture like in
the past, Doc Lap commune has cultivated new crops and gained initial
encouraging outcomes. Local income has increased by six or seven times from
that generated by rice farming. Wax gourd is an example, he said, noting that
the wax gourd area has been expanded to over 22 hectares across the commune so
far.
The areas of other types of vegetables and beans
have also reached tens of hectares. Notably, local farmers have planted new
crops like lemongrass and galingale with expanding areas, initially generating
economic benefits and improving people’s lives.
Thanks to effective crop restructuring, there
have been many households with income of up to 100 million VND annually in Doc
Lap commune, thereby contributing to poverty reduction, Binh said./.
Maximizing local potential and advantages, Yen Tri commune in Yen Thuy district is actively promoting the cultivation of medicinal herbs and turning medicinal herbs into One Commune - One Product (OCOP) products.
Situated at the gateway to the Northwest, Hoa Binh province has a population of over 900,000, including about 540,000 of working age. It is home to 6,000 businesses and production facilities, providing employment for over 100,000 workers. The remaining workforce is engaged in informal jobs, works in enterprises outside the province, or contributes to agro-forestry-fisheries. Additionally, around 3,000 workers are employed abroad.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee has issued Decision No. 2767/QD-UBND announcing the rankings of departments, agencies, districts and Hoa Binh city in the Public Administration Reform Index (PAR) and the Satisfaction Index of Public Administration Services (SIPAS) in 2024.
The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
In 2024, the total state budget revenue of Hoa Binh Province is estimated at approximately VND 6,930 billion, achieving 183% of the Government’s target, 126% of the target assigned by the Provincial People's Council, and 145% compared to the same period last year.
In 2024, Hoa Binh province has shown signs of improvement in attracting investment and developing enterprises.
