The 4,500-square-metre plant was built at a total cost of more
than 30 billion VND (1.32 million USD) by Hoang Long Tea Co., Ltd. Equipped
with an automatic production line, the plant is capable of processing 40
billion tonnes of fresh tea per day, which helps consume material tea in Tan
Lap commune and other regions in the vicinity.
At the inauguration ceremony, Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee
Nguyen Manh Dung noted that tea is seen as a spearhead plant in the province’s
agricultural economic development plan.
Hoang Long company is one of the leading firms in developing tea material zones
and promoting connections with local farmers to ensure effective tea
cultivation, he said, urging the firm to continue its efforts to improve
product quality and income for tea growers.
Ha Giang province will direct branches and districts to zone off tea processing
areas to develop safe tea in line with organic standards, he stressed.
For his part, Director of Hoang Long Tea Co., Ltd Nguyen Duc Lai noted that the
company always pays attention to deploying technology in tea production to
bring clean and top-quality products to consumers.
The company’s black tea and green tea is favoured by both domestic and foreign
customers, he added.
Earlier in 2002, the company constructed a tea plant in Hung An commune, Bac
Quang district with total capacity of 50 billion tonnes of fresh tea per day.

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.
