(HBO) – The One Commune-One Product (OCOP) programme, which has been launched recently, has proved to be a sound direction that contributes to the restructuring of agricultural sector, enhancing the production value and building trademark for typical farm produce of Yen Thuy district.
Solanum
procumbens glue produced by Bao Hieu Cooperative has been given a four-star
rating by the OCOP Council of Yen Thuy district and selected to compete at the
provincial OCOP contest.
In 2019, Yen
Thuy district registered eight products in three goods group for the OCOP
Programme of the province in the 2019-2020 period. Among the products, two are in
the beverage group, namely Du Din wine by a cooperative group in Dinh village (Phu
Lai commune) and Muong Dinh wine produced by Bui Duc Long’s family in Ha
village (Phu Lai commune).
Two other
products are in the herbal product group, which are solanum procumbens glue by Bao Hieu agro-forestry cooperative
and solanum procumbens tea by Binh An company in Yen Son village, Yen Lac
commune.
The four other products are in the food group, which are bee honey
by Yen Tan Cooperative in Yen Tan village, Ngoc Luong commune; Yen Thuy
green-skin pomelo by Bao Hieu agro-forestry cooperative No. 1 and Dai Dong
agriculture cooperative in Ngoc Luong commune; and Yen Thuy green zucchini by
Bao Hieu agro-forestry cooperative and Doan Ket agriculture cooperative; Yen
Thuy taro by Ngoc Luong agriculture-service cooperative and Ninh Hoa
agriculture cooperative in Yen Tri commune.
In order to create connections between producers and
consumers, contributing to promoting production and providing high quality OCOP
products to the market, the People’s Committee of Yen Thuy has arranged for
local cooperatives and producers to attend trade fairs and exhibitions to
introduce typical products of the district. The products have drawn attention
and trust of consumers. Particularly, solanum procumbens glue produced by Bao
Hieu Cooperative was rated four stars by the district’s verification council.
This is one of the 12 products chosen by the provincial People’s Committee to join
a pilot programme to standardize OCOP products of the province in 2019.
In the future, in order to meet the demand of consumers in
and outside the province for high-quality OCOP products, the district will
continue promoting the development of large-scale production of the products,
while supporting the standardization of the products as well as intellectual
property protection. At the same time, the locality will increase trade
promotion activities to help farmers sell their products./.
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.
