(HBO) - Ms. Quach Thi Hoa in Bung Village, Huong Nhuong Commune (Lac Son) has laid the foundation for Huong Nhuong Hill Chicken Cooperative, creating linkages in production among households and solving problems of breeding, food as well as the output for the products.

Ms. Quach Thi Hoa, Director of Hương Nhượng Hill Chicken
Cooperative is caring commercial chickens.
From 2015, her family invested 100 million
VND to build a breeding facility of 300 m2 and expanded chicken husbandary to
3,000-4,000 chicken per year. Ms. Hoa's family also had chickens hatched to
provide seeding for the households in the same village. Currently, with an area
of nearly 1 hectare, her family has just invested to build a farm to raise
chicken and grows 400 citrus fruits in the third year. According to
calculations, the income from chicken raising reaches at 80 million VND / year.
From November 2016, Huong Nhuong Hill Chicken
Cooperative was officially established by Ms. Quach Thi Hoa as the Director.
In 2017, the Cooperative was selected to
participate in the project of chicken production linkage in the value chain
under the program of New Rural Construction. The project has supported the
Cooperative with 8,000 seeding chickens, supporting training courses of
transferring science and technology to households raising commercial chickens;
supporting to buy drugs, vaccines, balloon covers, feed trays, water bottles
and construction of slaughter and preservation of chickens. The total funding
is 300 million VND. The Cooperative currently has 16 members. All members of
the Cooperative are households who are raising poultry and growing plants in
the commune. Despite newly establishment but with effective development
strategy, in 2017, the revenue of the Cooperatives reached at 2, 9 billion VND,
the profit was 600 million VND. At present, the Cooperative maintains two main
production lines of husbandry and cultivation. Ms. Hoa not only performs well
the position of Director of the Cooperative but also promotes well the role of
the leader of the Savings & Loans Group of Bung village. Her Savings &
Loans Group has 48 members with outstanding debts of more than 1 billion VND,
especially no overdue debt. In 2017, Ms. Hoa registered to borrow preferential
loans from the Social Policy Bank with a capital of 300 million VND for 9
member households to invest in chicken raising and all these households have
effectively promoted the loans. .
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.
