(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./.
According to data from the Hoa Binh Provincial Party Committee, the industrial production index for the first six months of 2025 is estimated to have increased by 20% compared to the same period last year. This marks the highest year-on-year growth rate for this period since 2020.
In the first six months of 2025, Hoa Binh province’s export turnover was estimated at 1.145 billion USD, marking an 18.11% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Import turnover was estimated at $ 804 million, a 17.15% increase, which helped the province maintain a positive trade balance.
The lives of the ethnic minority farmers in Tan Lac district have gradually improved thanks to the new directions in agricultural production. This is a testament to the collective strength fostered through the professional associations and groups implemented by various levels of the district’s Farmers’ Union.
With the motto the "product quality comes first,” after nearly one year of establishment and operation, Muong village’s Clean Food Agricultural and Commercial Cooperative, located in Cau Hamlet, Hung Son Commune (Kim Boi district), has launched reputable, high-quality agricultural products to the market that are well-received by consumers. The products such as Muong village’s pork sausage, salt-cured chicken, and salt-cured pork hocks have gradually carved out a place in the market and they are on the path to obtaining the OCOP certification.
In the past, the phrase "bumper harvest, rock-bottom prices" was a familiar refrain for Vietnamese farmers engaged in fragmented, small-scale agriculture. But today, a new spirit is emerging across rural areas of Hoa Binh province - one of collaboration, organisation, and collective economic models that provide a stable foundation for production.
Maintaining growing area codes and packing facility codes in accordance with regulations is a mandatory requirement for agricultural products to be eligible for export. Recently, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Hoa Binh province has intensified technical supervision of designated farming areas and packing facilities to safeguard the "green passport" that enables its products to access international markets.
