(HBO) – Located on a hill in Hoa Nghia Ward, Hoa Binh City, Hoa Binh Biopharm JSC has actively applied science in agriculture, especially medicinal herb farming.
The firm was established in July 2013 and a few months later in
2014, it took a brave step to start a study on multiplying and cultivating
cordyceps on organic substances.
On April 10, 2014, it received Certificate No.1/DNKH from the
provincial Department of Science and Technology recognizing it as a company of
science and technology, the first of its kind in the province.
Since then, the department has been creating many opportunities
for the firm in its research and development.

The firm’s director Dang Thi Phuong Hao said that the company has
completed the study on multiplying and cultivating cordyceps on organic
substances in May 2015; and its findings were verified and recognised by the
provincial science council. Since then, the company produced hundreds kilogrammes
of fresh cordyceps every year to supply for the production of medicine and
supplementary foods in some domestic pharmaceutical enterprises.
Hoa Binh Biopharm also has its own cordycep products which were
tested on guinea pigs at the Hanoi Medical University and proven to be safe for
human.
The company has been conducting various studies on multiplying and
cultivating several indigenous orchids, morinda officinalis, solanum
procumbens, Yacon, golden eye-grass, jiaogulan, Ming aralia, and dioscorea
hamiltonii./.
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.
