Lac Thuy district has many advantages in terms of climate and soil; hard-working and diligent people, along with a large area of agricultural land to develop safe agricultural models. These are favourable conditions for the district to develop OCOP (one commune one product) products from its agricultural resources and strengths. In addition, its socio-economic infrastructure system has been renovated and upgraded, facilitating the development of trade, services and tourism.

In recent years, Lac Thuy has paid attention to selecting
and putting into production varieties of crops and livestock with high economic
values. Concerted quality management right from the seed production stage and
cultivation process contributes to increasing productivity and output,
improving production efficiency, and creating sustainable product values for
the agricultural sector, especially for local strengths such as tea, custard
apple, orange, dragon fruit, goat, and Lac Thuy chicken.
The district has focused on developing fruit trees with high
economic values, and following GlobalGap and VietGap standards. To date, there
are 30 facilities certified with GlobalGap and VietGap in Lac Thuy.
In addition, it has promoted digital transformation in crop
cultivation, and improved production efficiency and product traceability.
Attention has been paid to building key agricultural product brands and
specialty agricultural products associated with OCOP products. To date, the
district has 23 OCOP products, of which six are rated 4-star and 17 3-star.
Hoang Thi Thu Hang, Vice Chairwoman of the district People's
Committee, said OCOP is an important economic development programme, promoting
production associated with the development of agricultural products,
restructuring the agricultural sector, developing the rural economy towards
increasing value, and contributing to improving the quality of new-style rural
areas. The focus of the programme is product development and standardisation.
In the coming time, the district will concentrate on
enhancing the role and responsibility of Party committees and authorities at
all levels, especially at the grassroots level, in leading and directing the
implementation of the programme, promoting the strength of political and social
organisations, and encouraging producers to participate in connectivity and
trade promotion activities, particularly on digital technology platforms, and
at agricultural and OCOP product fairs, added Hang.
After more than four years of implementing a project launched by the Hoa Binh Party Committee’s Standing Board on developing agriculture and promoting product consumption linked with building new-style rural areas for the 2021-2025 period, the province’s industry and trade sector has made significant strides, greatly contributing to local socio-economic development.
