(HBO) – The People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district and the Hoa Binh provincial Department of Science and Technology have jointly held an event to announce the certification trademark for "Song Boi Tea”, a signature product of the district, which was granted by the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam late last month.
"Song Boi Tea” certification trademark is officially
presented to Lac Thuy’s signature tea product.
Blessed with favourable climate and fertile
soil, Lac Thuy has constantly expanded its tea growing areas over the last
several years, starting to form a large-scale zone for commodity tea
production.
The district is currently home to over 226.5ha
of tea, with productivity of more than 22 tonnes per ha per year. Its tea
product has been highly favoured by consumers because of premium quality and
safe production with proper use of pesticides.
However, small-scale farming causing low yields
coupled with difficulties in origin traceability is among challenges hampering
the development of Lac Thuy tea and reducing its competitiveness in both
domestic and international markets.
The granting of "Song Boi Tea"
trademark is expected to help Lac Thuy better manage and develop its tea brand
so as to heighten the product value, enlarge local tea areas and improve
farmers’ earnings.
So far, the district has had five agricultural
products granted with collective and certification trademarks.
To protect the "Song Boi Tea"
trademark, the district People’s Committee plans to promote transfer of
advanced technology and techniques in local tea production and accelerate
promotion of the product among domestic and foreign customers./.
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.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
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.
