(HBO) – The Youth Union of Tan Lac district has organised practical activities to support local youths in developing and expanding business activities, contributing to promoting startups models in the locality.
Youth union members of Gia Mo commune in Tan Lac
district have been supported in accessing preferential loans to develop grapefruit
growing models.
In May, a young farm club comprising 10 members
was launched in Phu Vinh commune, which offers more opportunities for local
youths to collect knowledge and access capital sources and support channels to realise
their startups.
The club has also created a healthy environment, and enhanced connection and
mutual support between local young people.
In order further expand the startups movement among the local youth union’s
members and young people, the district’s Youth Union has promoted the
dissemination of guidelines and policies of the Party and State, the support of
sectors for young startups.
Attention has been paid to updating potential and strengths in economic
development to help young people determine directions for starting their
business.
The district has nearly 1,800 young people from nearly 160 youth union establishments.
Since 2020, the district’s Youth Union has enhanced training activities to equip
local youths with knowledge on economic development, and information related to
the One
Commune, One Product (OCOP) programme.
Career and enrollment counseling activities, and job introduction have been also
carried out in local schools.
Tan Lac district has witnessed the increasing number of typical economic
development models with stable income run by youth union members, such as a grapefruit cultivation model of Mr. Dinh Van Tai in Don hamlet, My Hoa
commune; a seedling nursery model of Mr. Bui Van Tuong in Sung 2 hamlet, Thanh
Hoi commune; and a red-flesh grapefruit cultivation model of Ms. Bui Minh Anh in Bui Doi hamlet, Nhan My
commune.

activities and take measures to remove difficulties facing local young people in
accessing capital for production and science and technology, and seeking markets
for their products, towards creating the most favourable conditions for young
people to implement their ideas.
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.
