(HBO) – Hoa Binh has launched a number of small trade fairs that sells made-in-Vietnam goods in local remote areas, leaving good impression in every area where the fair was held. Many people have flocked to such fairs in excitement to purchase a variety of high-quality products in diverse designs.
A trade fair brings
made-in-Vietnam goods to the remote Tu Ne commune, Tan Lac district, attracting
a large number of visitors.
Bui Thi Ngat from Bai Trang village, Dong Lai commune, said the
fair offers a wide range of products that suit everybody’s need, including
cookware, ceramic bowls and plates, bedding, electronic appliances, clothing
and footwear. All the products are made in Vietnam so there is no need to be
worried about cheap and low-quality goods. They are sold at very reasonable
prices, for example, a rechargeable lamp is sold at 39,000 VND while its market
price is over 40,000 VND; plastic baskets and basins here are sold at 10,000
VND for all items.
The series of trade fairs began on August 10 with each lasting for
3 days. The province has organised five trade fairs since then with the last in
Dung Phong commune, Cao Phong district. The event in Phong Phu commune, Tan Lac
district was held when a storm came to the area, but it still saw a lot of
visitors. According to companies selling their goods at the trade fairs, this
year’s events generated revenue of 1.5 – 2 times higher than those of 2016 and
2017 as made-in-Vietnam products have won increasing trust and credibility from
local customers.
Chu Van Thang, deputy director of the provincial centre for
promotion of trade, investment and tourism, said the quality of each event has
been much improved after every year and as a result, it has been well-received
by local people. Companies participating in those events have been carefully
selected, and must be reputable producers in Vietnam./.
Maximizing local potential and advantages, Yen Tri commune in Yen Thuy district is actively promoting the cultivation of medicinal herbs and turning medicinal herbs into One Commune - One Product (OCOP) products.
Situated at the gateway to the Northwest, Hoa Binh province has a population of over 900,000, including about 540,000 of working age. It is home to 6,000 businesses and production facilities, providing employment for over 100,000 workers. The remaining workforce is engaged in informal jobs, works in enterprises outside the province, or contributes to agro-forestry-fisheries. Additionally, around 3,000 workers are employed abroad.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee has issued Decision No. 2767/QD-UBND announcing the rankings of departments, agencies, districts and Hoa Binh city in the Public Administration Reform Index (PAR) and the Satisfaction Index of Public Administration Services (SIPAS) in 2024.
The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
