(HBO) - The Hoa Binh centre for investment, trade and tourism promotion in collaboration with the People’s Committee of Yen Thuy district on June 3 evening opened a fair in Yen Tri commune to bring made-in-Vietnam products to mountainous and remote areas.
Guests and local
people visit and buy goods at the trade fair in Yen Thuy district’s Yen Tri
commune.
The fair took place from May 3- 5 with the participation of
13 enterprises and cooperatives in and outside Hoa Binh province. They ran 25
stalls selling high quality goods ranging from apparel and household products to
electrical devices, and cosmetics.
At the opening ceremony, a large number of people in Yen Tri
and neighbouring communes visited and shopped at the fair. They highly
evaluated the quality and prices of the products.
Nguyen Vu Chi, director of the Hoa Binh centre for
investment, trade and tourism promotion, stressed the organisation of the fair
responded to the "Vietnamese prioritise Vietnamese goods” campaign initiated by
the Politburo.
The event was an opportunity for local residents to buy good
products at reasonable prices and for businesses and and cooperatives to
introduce their goods and study the local consumer behaviors./.
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.
