(HBO) – The Cooperative Alliance of Hoa Binh in coordination with ABHUD communication company, Ngoc Tung event-planning company, CIC Vietnam and Hanoi Television held a fair themed "Down to the market: Connecting localities – Selling products to everywhere”, which drew 15 member cooperatives. The event is taking place from November 28 to December 3 at 81 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street of Hanoi.
Typical products are introduced at the fair.
The event is part of a series of trade promotion activities to support local cooperatives to sell their products. At the same time, it aims to give opportunities for participants to take part in cultural exchange activities to explore the tradition and art of Hoa Binh, while introducing Hoa Binh products to consumers inside and outside the country.
The event has also offered chances to cooperatives to sharpen their business skills in the digital era, and optimise local cultural stories and tradition to introduce their products in big cities.
Major products introduced at the fair include oranges, pomelos, and herbal medicines. Various cultural and artistic activities are being held at the fair, promoting the cultural identities of the Mong, Thai, and Muong ethnic minority groups. Along with direct selling activities, the organisers also support the cooperatives to conduct livestreams to sell their products online.
On the first day, products of Hoa Binh received high evaluation in both quality and design from many distributors from Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Hai Phong, Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Vinh Phuc. Some have shown their interest to sign consumption contracts with the cooperatives.
Visiting the fair, consumers will have a chance to enjoy many special offers from the cooperatives. The strict implementation of COVID-19 prevention and control measures have been ensured at the event./.
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.
