(HBO) – The northern province of Hoa Binh is developing a process to convert the current arable land into organic cultivation areas. Its localities are building production chains in association with sales of organic farm produce.
Hoa Binh
Organic Farm in Yen Thuy district is applying organic production measures to
create safe products for customers.
According to the provincial Department of
Agriculture and Rural Development, Hoa Binh is now home to about 88,500
hectares of agricultural land, making up 19.2 percent of the natural areas.
Over the past few years, the agriculture sector has recorded annual average
growth of over 4 percent.
From 2020 onward, the province will launch a
roadmap to develop organic agriculture according to an organic agriculture
development project until 2025, with a vision to 2030, which has been approved
by the provincial People’s Committee.
The project is applicable for some vegetables,
fruits and animal husbandry products. Businesses, cooperatives and households
will directly implement the project or engage in production linkage models. The
total investment is estimated at about 932 billion VND (39.9 million
USD).
In 2020, Luong Son district plans to grow
organic vegetables on 20 hectares and raise 500 organic goats. Meanwhile, Tan
Lac district aims to grow organic grapefruits in Dong Lai and Thanh Hoi
communes. Da Bac district moves to grow organic rice in Muong Chien commune.
Cao Phong and Kim Boi districts will create organic orange products. Mai Chau
district and Hoa Binh city aims to create organic fish products.
By 2025, the province strives to develop 16 key
organic products. Each locality will have at least one production linkage
chain./.
After the Lunar New Year (Tet) holidays, trade union members and workers in Hoa Binh province returned to work with an excited spirit at the beginning of the new spring. Throughout the workshops, factories and enterprises, they were full of enthusiasm, immediately getting to work, striving to excellently complete tasks and production and business targets.
Red grapefruit is a native crop of Tan Lac district, where the fertile soil and favourable climate create ideal conditions for its growth. With over 80% of the area being mountainous, at an altitude of 300-400 metres above sea level, red grapefruits here thrive on well-drained, fertile hillside soil. The region’s large temperature variation between day and night enhances the fruit's nutrient absorption. The local cultivation techniques also contribute to its uniqueness
The provincial business association recently convened a conference to review its 2024 operations and outline plans for 2025. The meeting was attended by Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Duc Hinh along with leaders from various departments and agencies.
Hoa Binh province is prioritising rural transportation infrastructure to improve mobility, facilitate trade, and boost socio-economic development.
The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development has just issued Decision No. 377/QD-BNN-VPĐP approving the results of the evaluation and classification of the products of the National One Commune One Product Program in 2024 (phase 3).
