(HBO) - That is one of the goals set out in Resolution No. 03-NQ/TU, dated July 30, 2021, of the provincial Party Committee on leadership in socio-economic development in ethnic minority areas in the 2021 – 2030 period in the province.
Investing in socio-economic infrastructure,
especially roads, is an important solution to the development of ethnic
minority and mountainous areas. Photo taken in Chau hamlet, Tu Ly commune (Da
Bac).
Specifically, the province sets targets that by 2030, the
average income of ethnic minorities will reach half of the national; the rate
of poor households be reduced to less than 10%; 70% of communes in ethnic
minority and mountainous areas meet new-style rural area building standards;
and 40% of ethnic minority employees know how to work in industry, handicrafts,
tourism, and services.
Besides, the province is striving for more than 90% of
ethnic minority farmers getting involved in agricultural and forestry
production; over 90% of communes and hamlets having enough infrastructure to
meet the requirements of socio-economic development and people's lives;
basically dealing with unplanned migration in mountainous and ethnic
minority-inhabited areas; and relocating 100% of ethnic minority households
living in remote areas, where there is a high risk of flash floods and landslides./.
Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
