(HBO) – Hoa Binh province organised a conference on November 13 to evaluate and rate local products under the "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme for the first time in 2020.
Representatives look at local OCOP products.
A total 54 products have registered for the evaluation in 2020, with 31 to be assessed and rated in the first time. Those products are of 18 cooperatives, six companies, one workshop, and two household businesses.
Among them, there are 25 food products, one beverage product, three herb products, one garment product, one rural tourism service, and one in sales service.
Through careful examination of the products themselves and their dossiers, the provincial jury board found all 31 products qualified for provincial rating, of which five were rated four-star, and 36 three-star.
Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dinh Cong Su spoke highly of the efforts made by participants of the OCOP programme.
All of the products are of local strengths, and they have good quality and designs, he stressed, adding the makers should continue to improve product quality and packaging in order to increase the products’ rating.
Competent departments, sectors and districts need to intensify promotion work for the OCOP products, he highlighted./.
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.
