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.
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.
