(HBO) – Five years after the Hoa Binh Party Committee issued a resolution on a support mechanism for distribution of local agricultural commodities for 2014 – 2020, a number of its farming products such as orange, pomelo, longan, chayote, organic vegetables, purple sugarcane and hill chicken have gained broader access to markets in other cities and provinces, particularly Hanoi, and won welcome by consumers.

Co-operative, Quyet Chien commune (Tan Lac district) helps improve income for
local farmers.
Over the last five years, the
provincial People’s Committee has directed relevant authorities to adopt many
policies to support agricultural production and distribution of key farming
products, particularly citrus fruits, clean vegetables and fish of Hoa Binh
Reservoir.
Greater attention has been
paid to popularising high-yield and high-quality crop varieties to add more
values to local agricultural and forestry products. The province has
successfully developed new high-yield and pest-resistant paddy rice and maize,
among others, and piloted the cultivation of new herbal plants like sacha inchi
and new citrus fruits.
It has also exerted more
efforts to promote its products by making them available on major trading
floors, in order to not only boost sale but also avoid oversupply.
Additionally, it has set up provincial and district centres for promoting and
distributing farming products right after harvest.
A total of 3.4 billion VND
has been invested to help distribute more than 10,000 tonnes of agricultural
products to markets outside the province. The province has diversified
distributing methods in close association with tourism./.
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.
