(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.

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./.
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.

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.
