(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./.
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.

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.
