Over the past years, the provincial sub-department of fisheries has coordinated with relevant agencies in implementing solutions to protect, regenerate and restore aquatic resources. Such efforts have contributed to maintaining ecological balance, while creating livelihoods, and bringing economic efficiency to local residents.
The provincial sub-department of fisheries has paid attention to monitoring water levels, the environment and weather conditions as part of solutions to protect and develop aquatic resources.
With a water surface area of about 8,900 hectares, the Hoa Binh reservoir area boasts favourable conditions to promote tourism and aquaculture. Over the past years, fishing and aquaculture have generated stable income for local residents. However, the aquatic resources are exhausted due to overfishing, which can be seen in Thung Nai, Vay Nua and Tien Phong communes.
Dang Thi Duy, deputy head of the sub-department, pointed to poor awareness of locals as the root cause behind the problem. Given this, the province has issued various resolutions and decisions regarding fish cage farming in the area and aquaculture development.
Its aquaculture area now stands at 2,700 hectares and the number of fish cages has risen to nearly 5,000 from only 1,700 in 2014. Its aquatic output in the first half of this year is estimated at over 6,000 tonnes. The provincial sub-department of fisheries has paid attention to monitoring water levels, the environment and weather conditions as part of solutions to protect and develop aquatic resources.
Last month, the agency sent an inspection delegation to the area to supervise fishing activities by organisations and individuals, and proposed the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development repair notice signs there.
Being located more than 10 km from the center of Hoa Binh city, Sen Vang Organic Farm is in Dong Chua hamlet, Thong Nhat ward. This is an ideal destination for those who want to immerse themselves in the nature and find the peace after the hustle and bustle of life. With an area of over 60 hectares, the farm is systematically planned, harmoniously combining the wild natural landscape and diverse experience areas. Sen Vang chrysanthemum tea is produced from organic, completely natural ingredients.
In 2024, Hoa Binh province witnessed signs of economic recovery, particularly in investment attraction. Notably, several projects are showing good progress, indicating that the vitality of businesses is positively correlated with the overall economic recovery.
The 25th Party congress of the Lac Thuy district for the 2020-2025 term identified the development of industry, trade, and services as its top priorities to drive the shift of the economic structure towards increasing the proportion of industry and services while reducing the that of agriculture, thus contributing to creating a motivation for socio-economic development in the locality.
Hoa Binh HKK Knitting Co. Ltd., located in the Hoa Binh Left Bank Industrial Zone, employs nearly 500 local workers with an average monthly salary of 8 million VND (3,150 USD).
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.

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.
