(HBO) – An 8X guy Bui Huy Chuong, 1984, in Minh Son village, Yen Tri commune (Yen Thuy) started to make his passion of producing clean food to provide for consumers.

Bui Huy Chuong, Minh Son village, Yen Tri
commune (Yen Thuy) use herbs as food to limit the disease to wild boars.
In 2013, Chuong began to implement the model
of raising wild boars. His initial fund was more than 100 million VND to build
facilities and buy breeding pigs. According to Chuong, the most difficult thing
is choosing the standard breeding pigs. Therefore, he did not hesitate to go to
Lac Son and Luong Son districts to buy standardized sows. Each of 3 mother pigs
gave birth to 8 pigs, then he continued to select the standard pigs to breed,
he sold the rest as commercial pigs.
After 5 years, now Chuong's economic model
consists of more than 2 hectares of 14 pig cages and a pond surface of 3,600
m2, the rest is the planting land. At present, Chuong has 11 sows, 50
commercial pigs; 0.5 tons of fish with varieties, such as hypophthalmichthys,
carp, grass amurs, etc. Each year, reducing the investment costs, his clean
production model brought about 200 million VND in profit.
The price of 1 kg of wild boar varies from
120,000 to 130,000 VND. Even on the Lunar New Year occasion, Chuong did not
have enough products to sell. Many companies want to sign long contracts in
large quantities but he dares not to sign because he cannot make enough supply
for businesses. The clean forest boar brand is famous throughout and outside
the province. Despite the limited number of clean pigs, Chuong can only provide
for familiar traders who come and buy directly at his house.
So where is the decisive element of the clean
pig brand of the 8X guy. Mr. Bui Huy Chuong shared the secret: To succeed and
have a firm place in the market, the first thing is to create clean products,
good quality, meet the requirements of consumers. To make better quality of the
pork, I am interested in food sources. I have researched and applied microbial
fermentation process from rice and corn bran that Yen Thuy people made. In
addition, I invested in growing herbs to feed pigs to provide protein and
prevent many diseases, strengthening resistance to animals.
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.
