(HBO) - Minh Duc cooperative was established in July 2019 with charter capital worth 2 billion VND (86,140 USD). Its main products are commercial and breeding poultry. Lac Thuy is famous for its local chicken breed which has good meat and high resilience to diseases, especially in the cold season.
Minh
Duc cooperative in Phu Thanh commune (Lac Thuy district) invests in designing
modern cages which help reduce risks of infectious diseases for the chicken
flocks.
In addition, they are easy to breed and
favoured by consumers, generating high economic value. Lac Thuy chicken breed
has received a trade mark certificate of the National Office of Intellectual
Property of Vietnam at the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Aiming for large-scale farming and access
to major markets, seven members of the cooperatives joined hands with 23
households in the commune and neighbouring areas in production and product sale.
Accordingly, all stakeholders must closely follow regulations on cages, feed
and breed selection, among others.
Over one year since its establishment, the
cooperative has maintained its production scale, selling an average 10,000 meat
chickens at 70,000-90,000 VND per kg and tens of thousands of baby chicks at
11,000 VND per each.
The cooperative creates stable job for eight workers, with a monthly income of
6 million VND per person.
The good quality of the Lac Thuy chicken
breed has established the cooperative’s prestige, enabling it to sign long-term
contracts with many major partners, including the Phuc Nguyen poultry breeding
company in Chuong My district of Hanoi and Xuan Nui Company in Thach Thanh,
Thanh Hoa province./.
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.
