Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Dung speaks at the
meeting.
The week will be organised at five Co.op marts
in Ha Dong, Hoang Mai and Long Bien districts of Hanoi. Staples of Hoa Binh province on show
will include citrus fruits, vegetables, mountain peanut (Plukenetia Volubilis
L.), Solanum trilobatum tea, fish farmed in the Da River’s reservoir and
chickens farmed on hills, which are all high-quality products with food safety,
VietGAP, GlobalGAP and "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) certificates.
At the meeting, officials noted the week is an
important event for popularising local products and promoting investment, so it
must introduce truly typical products of the province. The participating units
also have to ensure the supply and preservation of goods during the week.
Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s
Committee Nguyen Van Dung said the event is an occasion to promote agricultural
specialties of Hoa Binh and help consumers access safe and high-quality
products of the province. Therefore, preparations must be made thoroughly.
Additionally, businesses and cooperatives will
also have a chance to introduce their potential, strengths and key products;
form connections between producers and distributors; seek contracts; and
transfer technology, he noted.
The official also assigned the provincial
Department of Public Security to coordinate with its Hanoi peer to ensure security, order, traffic
safety and fire prevention during the week. Meanwhile, the Hoa Binh Cooperative
Alliance needs to fine-tune the detailed organisation plan to submit it to the
Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee for decision. It is also
necessary to step up communications about the week on local and central media
agencies.
The event is scheduled to take place at the
Saigon Co.op network in Hanoi
from December 7 to 13./.
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.
