(HBO) – In the recent past, via the e-commerce platform of Postmart.vn, fresh fruits and vegetables of Hoa Binh has been assisted to reach more consumers in and outside the province. It is a new, modern, and effective distribution channel helping farmers proactively sell their produce and gradually shift to online business activities.
Employees of the Vietnam Post branch in
Hoa Binh province examine and package farm produce before delivering to
consumers.
Bui Manh Hung, Deputy
Director of the Hoa Binh branch of the Vietnam Post Corporation, said right
after the Ministry of Information and Communications issued Plan No. 1034 on
supporting farmers to sell products on e-commerce platforms and facilitating
the digital economy in agriculture and rural areas, basing on instructions by
the corporation, the branch has taken many measures matching each locality to
help people change their consumption habits and access a new sale and purchase
method - using the e-commerce platform of Postmart.vn.
He added selling agricultural
products on Postmart.vn is one of the new solutions helping farmers, business
households, cooperatives, and cooperative groups to boost sales, advertise
their products, and access more consumers in the domestic and international
markets.
Not only providing guidance
on how to sell items on the website, the Vietnam Post branch in Hoa Binh has
also assisted local farmers in terms of marketing, packaging, delivery, and
payment. So far, it has coordinated with localities to organise 14 training
courses in Cao Phong, Tan Lac, Lac Thuy, and Kim Boi districts, and Hoa Binh
city. As a result, 600 households and cooperatives have been trained in digital
skills, how to sell products on e-commerce platforms, and how to package,
receive orders, and send products to buyers while operating online. As many as
339 farming households have opened accounts on Postmart.vn.
A number of local
agricultural products are now available on Postmart.vn such as chayote bud,
red-flesh pomelo, and green-skin pomelo (Tan Lac district); peanut oil (Yen
Thuy district); Ngoc Han chicken egg, Dong Bong custard apple, red-flesh dragon
fruit (Lac Thuy district); "doi” (Michelia tonkinensis) seeds, chicken, and chicken egg
(Lac Son district); Son Thuy longan (Kim Boi district); and orange (Cao Phong
district).
In terms of seasonal produce
that have short harvest and usage periods like fruits and vegetables, the
Vietnam Post branch will optimise its widespread network and worker abundance
collect and transport products quickly, thereby minimising costs, ensuring
product quality, and cutting down the time needed for items to reach consumers.
At present, e-commerce
platforms are expected to be an effective direction helping improve the value
of local farm produce and step up digital transformation in agriculture and
rural areas./.
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.
