Hoa Binh achieved quite comprehensive results in restructuring of agriculture over the last five years. Many concentrated agricultural commodity production zones have been initially formed, contributing to raising the average production value of each hectare of farm land to 128.4 million VND (5,530 USD) per year, 2.4 percent higher than the set target.

The locality’s livestock industry has proactively worked to control diseases for cattle and poultry, while devising solutions to increase the economic value of livestock of local strength such as pig, cow, buffalo, goat, and poultry. 

For the fishery sector, the aquaculture area has been expanded to 2,700 ha, producing about 11,000 tonnes of products per year, double the output of 2015.

Meanwhile, the forestry sector has always overfulfilled annual plans on forest planting, protection and development. The forest coverage in Hoa Binh in 2020 stands at 51.5 percent, 3 percent higher than the set plan. The sector’s annual growth averages 4.35 percent, twice as high as the country’s growth rate.

Agricultural achievements made by the locality in the 2015-2020 period are expected to create an impetus for the agriculture and rural development sector to make breakthroughs in the next five years. 

The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development will pay attention to improving the leadership of its Party organisation and promoting the unity, while effectively implementing patriotic emulation movements and campaigns, thus contributing to promoting high-added value and sustainable agriculture development, and accelerating the building of new-style rural areas.

The sector aims to have 100 percent of administrative procedures handled properly and ahead of schedule; and 100 percent of tasks assigned by the provincial People’s Committee completed on schedule./.
