(HBO) – Cao Phong district has eight products that will be sent to the One Commune-One Product (OCOP) programme at the provincial level for evaluation this year. They are products of two cooperatives - orange fruits produced by 3T Cao Phong agricultural cooperative, and five orange-related products which are orange wine, fresh and fermented orange juice, orange jam, citron honey tea, and orange fruits made by Ha Phong cooperatives.
Ha Phong cooperative
in Cao Phong sends five products to the provincial OCOP contest.
In 2019, Kim Boi district has 14 products joining the OCOP
programme in three categories of food (9 products), beverage (3 products), and
herbal products (2 products). Of which, five products of three producers have
been given three-star ratings.
They are typical products of local enterprises and
cooperatives, including organic pomelo, organic dried fruit, organic lime steeped
in honey produced by Linh Dung organic farm in Vinh Tien commune; bottled water
by Muong Dong factory in Dong Bac commune, and Xa Moc Huong herbal tea by
Thuong Bi agriculture-service cooperative.
Meanwhile, Lac Thuy district has six products – fresh whole chicken
by Lac Thuy cooperative; Song Boi tea by Song Boi company; egg-shaped orange by
Vu Duy Tan household farm in Dong Huong village, Lien Hoa commune; Lac Thuy
orange by Thu Lan household farm in Tan Phu village, Phu Thanh commune; Lac
Thuy orange by Bui Thanh Chung household farm in Dong Thung village, Co Nghia
district; and cantaloupe by Hoa Binh GAP company in Thanh Ha town.
The People’s Committee of Lac Thuy has evaluated and rated
six OCOP products. Accordingly, fresh whole chicken by Lac Thuy cooperative
received four stars, egg-sized orange by Vu Duy Tan household farm got three
stars, while the rest four got two stars.
The provincial OCOP council also gave four stars to fresh
whole chicken product, and three stars to egg-sized orange product./.
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.
