(HBO) – The Hoa Binh Department of Industry and Trade and Department of Transport had a working session with the People’s Committee of Hoa Binh city on July 28 to seek measures to ensure the supply of goods to residents in the city in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The leader of the provincial Department of Industry and Trade addresses
the working session.
Currently, Hoa Binh city has 14 traditional markets, five supermarkets and
three trade centres, along with 860 grocery shops. The city is home to three
industrial parks with more than 5,000 workers.
Amid the complicated developments of COVID-19, in order to ensure the supply of
necessities to local residents in any circumstance, the city People’s Committee
has issued plans and directions asking relevant agencies to prepare plans to
stock up on goods to meet the demands of locals and quarantine facilities. They
are requested to keep a close watch on the agricultural production situation
and the pandemic developments as well as the weather conditions to make sure
that the supply of major farm produce is available, while signing contracts on
goods supply with suppliers – Dinh Nhuan and Son An companies - to meet
people’s demands.
Hoa Binh city has built a scenario to ensure goods supply at five levels, and
another scenario to respond to particular COVID-19 circumstances.
At the working session, representatives from the city People’s Committee
proposed the provincial People’s Committee issue a plan of regulating and
orienting production to ensure sufficient supply of necessities. The provincial
People’s Committee was asked to direct competent agencies to design plans to
keep stable prices of necessary goods and regulate goods circulation after the
Government issues a list of goods banned from circulating to replace the list
of necessary goods allowed to circulate.
Provincial leaders asked Hoa Binh city to stand ready to implement scenarios if
necessary, while strengthening communications to calm local residents and
prevent them from stocking up on goods.
At the same time, the city was requested to immediately review and listing of
good supply sources for particular areas, while ensuring smooth process in
providing, transporting and circulating goods.
Thu Thuy
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.
