(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./.
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.
