HBO – Lac Thuy district faced a lot of difficulties when beginning the implementation of the new-style rural area building programme.
Lien Hoa commune (Lac Thuy) works
to become new-style rural area in late 2018
With the determination of the entire political system and the high
consensus of locals, the building of new-style rural areas showed remarkable
progress just after a short time. To date, the rural transport system has
basically met locals’ demand for travelling and transporting goods. Irrigational
works ensure enough water for 75 percent of rice fields and 31 percent of the
total area of other crops, and for the daily life of locals. All communes and
villages are connected to the national grid and have a liaison information
system. Twelve out of 13 communes have standard trade infrastructure, and the
rate of standard houses reaches 83.56 percent.
Together with new-style rural building, Lac Thuy district has
focused all resources on socio-economic development to improve locals’
spiritual and material lives. In 2017, the district stepped up restructuring in
farming, forming concentrated production regions and large-scale fields. A
concentrated citrus region was initially formed on an area of 1,146ha, while
200ha of miscellaneous gardens were improved. Three value chains have been
implemented, including an exported chilli planting chain, a 40-ha safe
vegetable planting chain and a chicken raising chain with 10,000 head. In
addition, the operation of a safe food and farm produce cooperative has been
maintained. The district has also attracted businesses’ investment in producing
safe vegetables and medicinal plants following value chain linkage.
The district has five communes meeting new-style rural area
criteria, namely Dong Tam, Phu Lao, Co Nghia, Thanh Nong and Lac Long. Four
communes which complete 15-18 criteria are An Binh, Phu Thanh, Lien Hoa, and
Yen Bong, while the three communes of Khoan Du, An Lac ad Hung Thi meet 10-14
criteria. On average, each commune meets 15.69 criteria.
During 2018-2020, the district will need 996 billion VND for the
new-style rural area building, of which nearly 90 billion VND will come from
the State budget, while over 193 billion VND from the local budget, 105 billion
VND from integrated capital, 450 billion VND from credit loans, 75 billion VND
from businesses, and 91 billion VND mobilised from the public via cash, working
days and land donation./.
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.
