residents.
At 14 traditional markets, five supermarkets and three trade centres, alogn
with 865 food retail shops, goods supply sources in the city are abundant.
Meanwhile, people are tending to avoid direct shopping activities in
supermarkets and traditional markets, and switching to online shopping to minimise
mass gathering in line with COVID-19 prevention and control regulations.
Along with strengthening communications, based on population, consumer demands
and shopping habits as well as characteristics of the distribution system, the
city People’s Committee conducted market evaluation and designed plans to
supply goods in five level of pandemic development in line with directions by
the Department of Industry and Trade.
The city Division for Economic Affairs has signed contracts on goods supply
with two suppliers in the province – Dinh Nhuan Trade JSC and Son Anh
Investment JSC. At the same time, the city People’s Committee has prepared
scenarios to ensure the supply of goods even in pandemic period and provide
goods to people in quarantine sites.
At the same time, the city has evaluated the production situation to forecast
the supply sources of necessary goods for local residents.
Bui Quang Diep, Chairman of the city People’s Committee Bui Quang Diep
underscored that the committee has held working sessions with the People’s
Committees of communes and wards as well as production facilities, trade
centres, agricultural co-operatives to define supply sources of goods and sign
in-principle agreements with them.
At the same time, the committee has coordinated with relevant agencies to make
a list of food supply sources from other localities to the city to give them
support in administrative procedures for supplying and transporting of goods.
Meanwhile, the committee has made adjustments in the structure of crop for the
winter crop, with special attention on vegetable and fruit crops. Along with
preparing the supply of goods and plan to provide goods, suppliers from both
traditional markets and supermarkets have shown strict implementation of
pandemic prevention and control measures.
The city has regularly worked with authorised agencies to inspect and handle
the overstocking of goods to take benefit as well as the selling of fake, low
quality commodities and goods failing to meet food safety regulations./.
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.
