(HBO) – In the recent past, the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee has ordered relevant departments and sectors to keep a close watch on the market situation and take measures to ensure supply - demand balance and stabilise prices of essential goods so as to meet people’s demand.

The Vincom Plaza shopping centre
in Hoa Binh city has ensured sufficient supply of goods to meet consumers’
demand.
In November, trading activities in Hoa Binh
province were kept stable. The retail sales of goods and service revenue in the
month was estimated at 3.885 trillion VND (169.4 million USD), up 0.52 percent
from October. The 11-month figure stood at 40.547 trillion VND, equivalent to
91.19 percent of this year’s target.
Meanwhile, the consumer price index (CPI) in
November rose by some 0.31 percent month on month as a result of higher prices
of education, electricity, water, fuel, and construction materials.
Relevant sectors in the province are working on
a plan to stabilise the market during the New Year and Lunar New Year holidays.
They are also pushing ahead with measures to ensure sufficient supply of
essential goods in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic./.
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.
