(HBO) - Due to his hard work to learn and explore, Mr. Dinh Thanh Han in Dong Mai village, Yen Tri commune (Yen Thuy) has succeeded in the model of a garment factory to process clothes. Thereby, it can increase the family income, creating stable jobs for many local workers.
In 2016, he invested in 5 sewing machines,
hired garment workers to receive clothes for processing at home, and he had to
hire a person in charge of the technical issues to ensure the development and
expansion of the sewing factory.

Mr. Dinh Thanh Han in Dong Mai village, Yen
Tri commune (Yen Thuy) wholeheartedly instructed workers on sewing techniques.
Thanks to his will to rise and achieve, up to
now, the area of Mr. Han's sewing factory has been expanded to 300 m2 with
about 70 sewing machines. Those are together equipped with the system of
extractor machines, stamping buttons, steam irons, fully equipped extractor
machines. Currently, Mr. Han's tailoring factory produces in an assembly line,
whereby each worker is in charge of one stage to create each product. On
average, there are about 18,000 products per month, however, the number can
increase or decrease depending on the difficulty of orders. The market is
mainly domestic and exported to the US, China, etc. In 2018, Mr. Han's family
reached 400 million VND of the profit.
Mr. Han added that one of the difficulties
when developing a garment factory is the capital. Currently, the cost of
operating the garment factory of Mr. Han's family fluctuates around 40 million
VND / month, not including salaries and bonuses for employees. In addition,
unpaid after-sales orders also make it difficult to delay the employee payment
and receive more subsequent orders. Besides, the garment factory has been put
into operation since 2016, most of the workers are weak in technique and
aesthetics. Therefore, the experienced members often care and help new workers
to improve their skills and improve sewing skills. That can improve the
productivity and product quality.
In addition to improving the family's income,
Mr. Han's garment factory now create jobs for 58 local workers with an income
of 4-5 million VND / month. Some typical workers often work overtime with an
income of 8-9 million VND / month. In addition, Mr. Han assists workers with
the cost of lunch and travel; he regularly visits and encourages disadvantaged
families to make more efforts to overcome and improve in their lives.

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.
