(HBO) - Implementing the 10th Party Central Committee’s Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW dated August 5, 2008 on agriculture, farmers and rural areas, the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No. 02-NQ / TU dated June 7, 2011 on the construction of new-style rural areas for the 2011-2015 period with orientations to 2020. It is a sound and timely policy of the Party to the welcome of the people. Therefore, the provincial Party units, authorities and political system have taken active, proactive and creative approaches to implementation.

Party Committee Bui Van Tinh visit stalls of Hoa Binh’s outstanding farm

Under the drastic directions of the Party units and
authorities from the grassroots level and with public consensus, the province’s
new-style rural development campaign has over the past decade reaped important
results. The countryside has a facelift with modern infrastructure, especially
cultural infrastructure meeting demand of rural residents. Production has
changed positively and been oriented towards large-scale goods and effective
cooperation. Economic development projects and models have been spread, thus
creating a driving force for the local socio-economic development.
As of late 2018, the province posted a gross regional
domestic product growth of 8.36 percent, ranking 19th nationwide and
fourth among the 14 northern midland provinces. Its total State budget revenue reached
3.4 trillion VND, ranking third among the six northwestern provinces and
seventh among the 14 northern midland provinces. The average per capita GRDP is
estimated at 50.7 million VND, ranking second among the six northwestern
provinces and third among the 14 northern mid-land provinces. The average per
capita income in rural areas reached 32 million VND each year, up 23.7 million
VND compared to that in 2011. The rate of poor households in rural areas was
14.28 percent, down by 17.23 percent from 2011.
During the 2016-2019 period, the province raised over 11.44
trillion VND for the new-style rural development programme.
With such achievements, the province now has 82 out of the 191
communes that meet new rural development criteria, accounting for 42.9 percent
of the total communes (fulfilling the province’s resolution one year ahead of
schedule), an increase of 51 communes compared to 2015. Last year, Hoa Binh
city was the first district-level administrative unit of the province to complete
the task of building new-style rural areas two years ahead of schedule. The
number of new-style rural development criteria in the province averages 15.01
per commune, up 10.61 criteria compared to 2011 and up 3.51 criteria compared
to the late 2015. Not any commune now meets below 10 criteria. This year, Luong
Son district is expected to meet new-style rural development criteria,
surpassing the plan by 200 percent under the Prime Minister’s Decision
No.1865/QD-TTg dated November 23, 2018./.
In the first quarter of 2024, the credit institutions in the province have actively deployed the legal documents of the State and the State Bank relating to currency, credit and interest rates. At the same time, they have promoted the capital mobilization, focusing on the solutions to expand the credit investment along with strengthening the credit quality management, lending to priority programs to promptly meet the capital needs for export - business and consumer demand during Tet in 2024.
Outside the key economic region of Hoa Binh, yet Lac Son district has utilised its potential and strengths regarding labour, land, and transportation connectivity to attract investment to the locality, contributing to promoting socio-economic development.
In a move to expedite the execution and disbursement of the 2024 capital plan for ODA projects, aiming for a disbursement rate of over 90% of the allocated funding, the Hoa Binh People's Committee issued Document No. 483/UBND-KTN on April 3, 2024, regarding such efforts.
Nguyen Van Thap from Kim Duc hamlet, Vinh Tien commune, Kim Boi district, has built the brand of Hoa Qua Son for local fruits. His efforts have brought about income for his family and generated job opportunities for locals, helping hundreds of households escape from poverty.
The Hoa Binh administration was entrusted by the Prime Minister with a budget of 3.43 trillion VND (142.91 million USD) for investment in 2024. The provincial People's Council approved nearly 3.76 trillion VND, which has been meticulously allocated to projects, achieving 100% of the assigned capital plan.
Hoa Binh province has mobilised all resources to propel local agricultural products to make inroads into foreign markets, towards lifting the export turnover of key agricultural products to 137.8 million USD by 2030, accounting for 3.4% of the locality’s total export value of goods.
The locality aims to export farm produce to the US, the European Union, the UK, China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea.
