(HBO) – The sub-department of agro-forestry-fishery quality management has held a conference in Tan Son commune, Mai Chau district, to review the model linking production and consumption of vegetables following the VietGap practice.
The model was implemented in Tam Hoa hamlet, Tan Son commune, between July and
November this year. The Tam Hoa agriculture service and development
cooperative, consisting of 10 households, benefited from the project.
The assessment
of the project’s outcomes showed that the link among these households reduced
the need for intermediate services, tackled price pressure from traders, and capitalized on local potential for growing
off-season vegetables. The model created regular jobs for
participating householdsand providedsafe products of clear origin.Meanwhile,the lesser use ofpesticides helped topreserve biodiversity, andprotect
the environment and human health. According to the Tam Hoa cooperative management board,
since the model was
carried out, their
vegetable prices have increased by between 1,000and3,000 VND perkg.

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.
