(HBO) - Head of the Sub-Department of Agro-Forestry-Fishery Products’ Quality Management under the Hoa Binh Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has allowed three facilities to use the trademark of "Da River-Hoa Binh Fish” and issued food safety certificates to eight others as well as the recognition of food safety knowledge to 39 individuals.
Over the years, the province has paid great attention to
quality supervision and food safety observation.
Under a project to develop major agricultural products in
value chain to ensure food safety in 2019, the province has 35 businesses,
co-operatives, cooperation groups and household farms investing in fish farming
in a large scale, owning 55 percent of fish cages and supplying 67 percent of
aquatic products that the province provides to the market.
A number of enterprises have signed consumption contracts
with fish farming households meeting the VietGAP and food safety
requirements.
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.
