(HBO) – Given the complicated development of COVID-19 in Luong Son district, local cooperatives have adjusted their production and business plans and diversified their approaches to the market. As a result, they have sustained production and boosted their capacity to adapt to the situation.
Workers at the Cao Son Xanh cooperative in Luong Son’s Cao Son commune
seriously follow the Ministry of Health’s 5K message for COVID-19 prevention
and control.
From 6pm on July 27, Luong Son imposed social distancing measures under the
Prime Minister’s Directive 16 on COVID-19 prevention and control. To seriously
enforce the measures while mitigating their negative impact on business and
production, local cooperatives have come up with suitable solutions.
At the beginning of the year, the Cao Son Xanh cooperative has got safe
production plans ready. All of its 6ha of land for raising 100 cows are guarded
strictly. Ha Ngoc Hoa said to ensure COVID-19 prevention, the farm is shut to
outsiders. Three regular workers are also not allowed to go out of the
cooperative area and are provided with accommodation and daily necessities,
while animal feed suppliers have to present negative COVID-19 quick test to
enter the place.
According to statistics, Luong Son has 57 cooperatives with over 600 members
and nearly 500 workers, whose monthly income is between 3 and 3.5 million VND.
They help create jobs, ease poverty, boost economic and labour restructuring,
and exploit the locality’s strengths and potential. In the face of
unpredictable developments of the pandemic, the collective economic sector
plays an important role in the district’s realisation of its dual goals in
socio-economic development. Notably, agricultural cooperatives are now an
important in-place source of food supply to ensure food security during the
social distancing period. The new situation, meanwhile, is a chance for local
cooperatives to build their business strategies and change their marketing
methods by applying digital technologies.

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.
