(HBO) - After more than 1 year of implementing the provincial Scheme of One Product One Commune Program (OCOP) in the period of 2019-2020, with a vision to 2030, the program has achieved important initial results, creating motivation for the new rural construction and the rural economic development.
Oranges, the gifts from 3T Agricultural Cooperative in Cao
Phong have been certified as 3-star OCOP products of the province in 2019,
which has been well received by consumers.
In 2019, 11 out of the 11 districts and the city reviewed 53
products, with 34 out the 53 products submitted to participate in the
evaluation and ranking of OCOP products at the provincial level. The results
are that 27 out the 34 products have been evaluated and ranked by the
provincial Appraisal Board. The provincial Appraisal Board has submitted these
products to the People's Committee of the province for recognition of OCOP
products of 21 subjects. Particularly, 9 products have achieved a 4-star level,
18 products have earned a 3-star rating. In 2020, there are 54 products
registered to participate in OCOP Program.
In order to well implement the guiding contents of the
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in the Official Dispatch No. 911
dated on February 10, 2020 on improving the effectiveness of implementation of
the OCOP Program in 2020, the provincial People's Committee has issued a
written request to the People's Committees of the districts, the city, branches
and units concerned to drastically direct the implementation of the OCOP
Program and to strengthen reviewing, encouraging and guiding people and
economic entities to participate in the OCOP Program, ensuring that OCOP
products are of high community quality and good quality.
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.
