(HBO) - A fair introducing products that meet the standards of the "One Commune - One Product” (OCOP) programme and are closely related to the culture of northern mountainous provinces has taken place in Hanoi’s Tay Ho district.
Visitors
keen on Hoa Binh’s OCOP products.
Highlights of the fair included a display of OCOP products and
specialties in 150 stalls, arts and cultural performances, and a host of
culinary delights from different localities.
Hoa Binh brought to the fair a number of goods that were recognised as
provincial-level OCOP products last year. They included Shacha Inchi tea from
the Inca Vietnam JSC in Huu Nghi ward in Hoa Binh city; Solanum jelly from the
Bao Hieu agro-forestry cooperative in Bao Hieu commune in Yen Thuy district; Chien
Tho cellophane noodles from the family business of Do Quang Chien in Hoa Binh
city; and fish fillets from the Cuong Thinh Construction and Services Limited Company,
among others.
The fair was a major opportunity for manufacturers of local OCOP goods to
promote their products and link with distribution networks like shopping
centres, supermarkets, stores retailing safe farm produce, and digital trade
platforms./.
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.
