At 14 traditional markets, five supermarkets and three trade centres, alogn

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./.

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.
