(HBO) – Hoa Binh has weather and soil conditions suitable for the growth and development of various specialty crops and livestock like citrus fruits, purple sugarcane, Shan Tuyet tea, and vegetables. Many local production areas have clean land and water sources that are suitable for the cultivation of organic crops.
An organic agricultural products cooperative in Mong hamlet, Luong Son town,
produces vegetables according to organic standards, providing safe products for
consumers.
For years, Hoa Binh has paid attention to the organic agricultural production.
The provincial People's Committee has approved a scheme to develop organic
agriculture until 2025, with an orientation to 2030. Planning and schemes have
also been launched for the development of key crop production, and an analysis
implemented to get insight into local conditions to identify suitable organic
production areas in the province.
Hoa Binh is now home to 12 organic-certificated facilities in farming and
husbandry. The province is yet to have similar firms operating in the fisheries
sector.
The local areas meeting Vietnam’s organic standard and certificated by the PGS
(Participatory Guarantee System) increased from 9.8 ha in 2018 to 66.3 ha in
2020. A number of typical local production firms can be named: the organic
vegetable group of Luong Son district, the Hoa Binh organic agriculture
company, and the Linh Dung organic farm
After 5 years of implementing its agricultural restructuring project towards
increasing value added and sustainable development, Hoa Binh’s annual
agro-forestry-fisheries growth rate reached 4.1 percent during 2016-2020. The
province has identified its key and prioritised groups of products, including
citrus fruit (oranges, grapefruits); fresh cane; high quality rice and organic
rice; medical herbs; vegetables; cattle (buffalo, cow, pig, goat); poultry
(chicken, duck); and Da river fish.
In the coming time, it will continue to sustain the existing organic crop areas
and expand new ones meeting the current organic standards.

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.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
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.
