(HBO) - The Hoa Binh Cooperative Alliance on December 25 organised a supply-demand connection conference, attracting the participation of 30 cooperatives and 150 delegates representing 30 retailers and distributors of farm produce in the province.
Representatives of the Hoa Binh
Cooperative Alliance, participating enterprises and cooperatives sign a
memorandum of understanding on cooperation.
The conference featured 30
stalls from the cooperatives that showcase products like food, fresh fruit,
medical tea, and handicrafts. Many of the goods meet the VietGAP and
local-level "One Commune, One Product” standards.
Participating enterprises
included those looking for stable material plantations like the Van Ho food
processing company, Voganic organic farming company, and Biobee Vietnam limited
company, as well as those operating in farm produce retail and distribution
like the Phuc Thinh Food.
At the event, participants
focused their discussion on development potential of cooperative-made products
and distribution demand from enterprises and supermarkets in Hoa Binh and other
localities. Sides involved took the occasion to sign a memorandum of
understanding, laying a basis for the future singing of partnership and
investment contracts and the formation of cooperative – enterprise supply
chains./.
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.
