(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.

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./.
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.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
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.
