The People’s Committee of Lac Son district held a market in the resettlement zone of Dom Bai hamlet, Mien Doi commune, on October 26 - 27 to exhibit, introduce, and promote the sale of "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) and typical products of Lac Son district. The event also offered visitors a chance to enjoy natural scenic landscapes.
Provincial leaders and Hoang Van Hon, former member of the Party Central Committee and former Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, visit booths displaying OCOP products of Lac Son district.
The opening ceremony was attended by Hoang Van Hon, former
member of the Party Central Committee and former Secretary of the provincial
Party Committee; Bui Duc Hinh, Standing Vice Secretary of the provincial Party
Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Council; other leaders of the
provincial People’s Council, departments, sectors, and localities; along with a
large number of local residents and tourists.
The market aimed to increase introducing
products and connect organisations of the collective economy with other
economic sectors to create an opportunity for cooperatives to access consumers
and seek partners. It was expected to help step up the marketing and trading of
OCOP products as well as typical farm produce and goods of Lac Son district.
Featuring diverse activities, the market became
a platform for linking supply and demand and introducing products, helping to
promote product value, people’s income, and local socio-economic development.
All the items displayed by cooperatives and production - business households
met quality, design, food safety, and origin standards.
Organised amidst the scenic landscape of
ripening terraced rice fields in Mien Doi commune, the event attracted numerous
local residents and visitors who came here to not only shop but also admire the
natural beauty and learn about the traditional culture of the Muong ethnic
group via the new rice celebration ritual and Muong gong performances. They
also had a chance to try cultural and sports activities deeply imbued with the
cultures of ethnic groups in the Muong Vang zone, and experience
community-based tourism.
On this occasion, the Hoa Binh Rubbers Club in
Hoa Binh province presented gifts to 150 students with disadvantaged
backgrounds at the semi-boarding Primary and Junior High School of Mien Doi
commune before starting 5km and 7km runs around terraced fields of Mien Doi.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
