(HBO) – In recent years, localities in Hoa Binh province have seen a rise of agricultural models applying new production and business methods which have generated high economic benefits. Catching up with scientific and technological progress, farmers of the new era are making changes to their mindset and working methods to move close to smart agriculture, thereby raising the quality and value of farm produce, improving living standards, and contributing to local development.

Recently, farmers’ unions at all levels in Hoa
Binh province have stepped up communications to encourage their members to
apply scientific and technological advances, switch from small-scale economic
models to large-scale and concentrated production ones, and develop different
business models. They have reformed activities; improved the quality and
effectiveness of services, counselling, and vocational training; assisted
farmers to boost production and business; and coordinated with relevant
agencies to guide the formation of crop and animal farming cooperatives and cooperative
groups.
Since the beginning of 2021, all-level farmers’
unions have worked with banks to lend more than 3.58 trillion VND (157 million
USD) to over 5,100 farming households.
They have proactively coordinated with relevant
departments, sectors, and enterprises to train their members in internet use,
clean agricultural production, and food safety. Member farmers have been
encouraged to adapt crop and livestock structures to market demand.
Thanks to a movement calling on local farmers to
emulate in production and business, a large number of exemplars have appeared.
Le Van Thach, Chairman of the provincial
Farmers’ Union, said thanks to effective conselling, vocational training, and
support activities, the number of profitable cooperative models in agricultural
production and business activities has been rising. Many households are running
large-scale production models that bring about annual income of 600 million -
1.2 billion VND and higher.
That has contributed to the shift of rural
labour and economic structures to promote mass production and social stability,
as well as to the enhancement of people’s trust in the Party, State, and
farmers’ unions’ leadership, he added.
With the motto of "polite, dedicated, professional, and lawful,” over the years, Phu Cuong commune in Tan Lac district has gradually improved the quality of processing administrative procedures, winning high satisfaction from local people and businesses.
Stretching over 300 meters, valued at hundreds of million dong and built to the new-style rural standards, a concrete road in De hamlet, Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district, was completed by the end of 2023 thanks to the collective contributions of armed forces at provincial and district levels coupled with the active participation of military units stationed throughout the district.
Over the years, the People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district has issued many plans and programmes to speed up the administrative reform, aiming to better serve local people and businesses.
Kim Boi district is drafting 23 planning projects which are expected to help boost the local socio-economic development, attract investors, and mobilise resources for development, said Vice chairman of the district People’s Committee Tran Tuan Son.
They include the one on Bo urban area development until 2045, 20 zoning, and 12 on rural residential areas in communes.
This year, Hoa Binh province strives to have eight communes recognised as meeting new-style rural area standards and five communes satisfying exemplary new-style rural area standards. Since the beginning of the year, the provincial People's Committee has drastically directed the implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building to fulfil the set target.
Cao Phong district achieved positive socio-economic development results last year as drastic comprehensive measures were implemented with high determination of its whole political system, said the Secretary of the district Party Committee Ha Van Di.
