(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./.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.

A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
