(HBO) – The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development on November 27 attended an exhibition in Hanoi on achievements after ten years implementing the Resolution No.26-NQ-TW on agriculture, farmers and rural areas adopted at the 10th Party Central Committee’s 7th plenum.
The exhibition is among a series of
activities in the framework of the conference reviewing a decade of
implementing the Resolution.

The 100-booth exhibition was divided into three zones. One was dedicated to
the achievements and excellent models for agriculture, farmers and rural
development made by ministries, sectors, associations and selective localities.
The second zone introduced high-quality farm produce across the nation and outstanding
domestic agricultural businesses. The third zone featured connections between
agricultural and industrial sectors and agricultural development services.
Hoa Binh province’s agriculture sector brought to the event a wide range of
local staples like Cao Phong orange, Tan Lac red-flesh pomelo, Lac Thuy chicken,
Da River fish, Kim Boi bamboo sprout and shan tuyet tea./.
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.
