(HBO) - The Cao Son Xanh Cooperative has invested in raising 3B cows, a breed of foreign origin, which produces high economic value towards establishing a breeding chain. The barns are kept clean and well ventilated, while each cow is numbered and has its health and weight checked monthly.

Cao Son Xanh Cooperative was established in 2020,
with 7 members. After its establishment, members of the cooperative researched
and boldly invested capital to build a farm on more than 6 hectares, of which,
2 hectares were for grass growing and the remaining 4 hectares were reserved
for barns and a feed processing area. To ensure hygiene in the barns, the
cooperative invested in installing a ventilation system and a modern waste
treatment system.
3B cow is a foreign breed but it has good
adaptability to the local environment and climate. Therefore, Cao Son Xanh
Cooperative has no difficulty in taking care of the cows, which eat grass, rice
straw or sugarcane. The cooperative invested more than 130 million VND to buy
grinders to prepare food for the cows.
Ta Dinh Que, Deputy Director of the cooperative said
after nearly one year, the cooperative's 110 3B cows have been growing rather well.
At the price of 100,000 VND/kg, the market's demand for 3B beef is high and
supply doesn’t meet demand. In the coming time, the cooperative will invest in
expanding the cow raising scale and forming a closed chain from breeding cows
for calves to raising commercial cows for meat to increase added value. In
addition, the cooperative will provide QR code for each cow with the aim of
supplying high-quality food for the Hanoi market./.
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.
