(HBO) - Over the past time, Lac Thuy district in Hoa Binh province has implemented many synchronous measures to support and orient the development of OCOP (one commune one product) products. Currently, the district is managing and developing four agricultural products granted with protection certificates by the National Office of Intellectual Property of Vietnam, including a collective brand of Lac Thuy orange, and three certificate brands of Lac Thuy chicken, Lac Thuy custard-apple, and Lac Thuy goat.
Red-flesh
dragon fruit of Ba Hang Doi township agricultural service cooperative (Lac
Thuy) granted provincial-level 3-star OCOP product certification in 2020.
The district is also managing and developing ten OCOP
products ranked by the provincial People's Committee, of which two are rated
four stars, namely fresh chicken and Song Boi tea; and eight three stars: Dong
Bong custard-apple, Ngoc Han chicken egg, Khoan Du honey, red-flesh dragon
fruit, queen melon, Chung Huong orange, Lac Thuy orange, and egg orange.
In 2021, the district registered to build three OCOP
products, namely white oyster mushrooms, Hai Dang fresh chicken, and green
Inchiba cantaloupe.
Making OCOP recognition the target of local products has helped businesses,
cooperatives, production and business facilities improve product quality,
increase competitiveness and gain a foothold in the market./.
According to data from the Hoa Binh Provincial Party Committee, the industrial production index for the first six months of 2025 is estimated to have increased by 20% compared to the same period last year. This marks the highest year-on-year growth rate for this period since 2020.
In the first six months of 2025, Hoa Binh province’s export turnover was estimated at 1.145 billion USD, marking an 18.11% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Import turnover was estimated at $ 804 million, a 17.15% increase, which helped the province maintain a positive trade balance.
The lives of the ethnic minority farmers in Tan Lac district have gradually improved thanks to the new directions in agricultural production. This is a testament to the collective strength fostered through the professional associations and groups implemented by various levels of the district’s Farmers’ Union.
With the motto the "product quality comes first,” after nearly one year of establishment and operation, Muong village’s Clean Food Agricultural and Commercial Cooperative, located in Cau Hamlet, Hung Son Commune (Kim Boi district), has launched reputable, high-quality agricultural products to the market that are well-received by consumers. The products such as Muong village’s pork sausage, salt-cured chicken, and salt-cured pork hocks have gradually carved out a place in the market and they are on the path to obtaining the OCOP certification.
In the past, the phrase "bumper harvest, rock-bottom prices" was a familiar refrain for Vietnamese farmers engaged in fragmented, small-scale agriculture. But today, a new spirit is emerging across rural areas of Hoa Binh province - one of collaboration, organisation, and collective economic models that provide a stable foundation for production.
Maintaining growing area codes and packing facility codes in accordance with regulations is a mandatory requirement for agricultural products to be eligible for export. Recently, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Hoa Binh province has intensified technical supervision of designated farming areas and packing facilities to safeguard the "green passport" that enables its products to access international markets.
