(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./.
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.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
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.
