Nguyen Anh Tuyet, hailing from a family steeped in the ancient art of herbal medicine, is transforming local medicinal herbs into high-value concentrated extracts, elevating their worth and healing potential.
The Tuyet Nhi cooperative’s herbal processing workshop in Cao Duong commune,
Luong Son district offers jobs to local workers, with a stable income ranging
from 5-6 million VND per month.
Tuyet's journey began with a deep-rooted passion
for preserving her family's herbal legacy while addressing the challenges faced
by local farmers. As the cultivation of medicinal plants like ca gai leo
(Solanum procumbens) and xa den (Celastrus hindsii) flourished, farmers
grappled with unstable markets and price manipulation by traders. Tuyet saw an
opportunity to stabilise the market and ensure fair prices for these precious
herbs.
In 2017, Tuyet registered her business,
committing to purchase xa den leaves at stable prices. However, she soon
encountered a significant hurdle: the dried xa den leaves were susceptible to
mold due to humidity, compromising their quality and usability. Undeterred, she
invested in technology to process these herbs into concentrated extracts,
preserving their potency and extending their shelf life.
After years of experimentation and perseverance,
Tuyet perfected the production process in 2020, creating a high-quality,
concentrated herbal extract with a distinct aroma and ease of use.
As customers recognised the convenience and
effectiveness of her products, Tuyet, along with six partners, established the
Tuyet Nhi cooperative in 2021, investing in a production facility with advanced
machinery and standardised operations under the HACCP quality management system
The cooperative’s herbal extracts gained
widespread trust for their ease of use and longer shelf life compared to raw
herbs, ensuring patients could access medicinal benefits without concerns about
spoilage.
Today, Tuyet has introduced 10 liquid and
powdered extracts to the market, most of which are produced on demand for
distribution companies. The ca gai leo and xa den extracts have been certified
as 4-star OCOP (One Commune One Product), with more certifications expected
this year.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee has agreed in principle on a proposal by the Standing Board of the Party Committee of Hoa Binh city to gather feedback on the city’s 1:2000 zoning plan, which forms part of its broader urban development strategy.
Hoa Binh province has made notable progress in public administration reform and digital government development, with the satisfaction index among citizens and businesses reaching over 84%, according to recent government evaluations.
Thanks to great efforts by local authorities in recent times, the governance and public administration performance of Mai Chau district has been significantly improved.
In the afternoon of June 6, the Party Committee, the People's Council, the People's Committee and the Fatherland Front of Lac Son district solemnly held a meeting to celebrate the 139th anniversary of the district's founding (1886–2025) and the 79th anniversary of the establishment of the district's Party Committee (1946–2025). There was the attendance of Mr. Bui Van Thang, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council; Mr. Quach Tat Liem, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee; Ms. Dang Bich Ngoc, the Deputy Head of the National Assembly Delegation of the province; as well as the former leaders of the province and district through various periods, who are the natives of the district.
Implementing the Politburo’s Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science – technology, innovation, and digital transformation is a golden opportunity for the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh to renew growth model, improve competitive edge and shorten digital gap.
Resolution 57-NQ/TW, issued by the Politburo on December 22, 2024, identifies sci-tech, innovation, and digital transformation as strategic breakthroughs to build a developed and prosperous nation. In Hoa Binh province, this spirit is not just a slogan, it’s being put into action through concrete initiatives that form a "new development triangle”: digital citizenship, digital economy, and digital administration.
