(HBO) – After five years of implementing the "One Commune-One Product” (OCOP) programme, Hoa Binh has discovered a number of shortcomings in the work, including the modest production scale and popularisation activities.
Green Ichiba melon, a three-star OCOP product by
Truong Thinh High Technology Agriculture Investment JSC in Lac Thuy has met
GlobalGAP standards.
In reality, the production of a number of OCOP recognised products has not been
expanded, while the market demand is high.
According to the coordinating office for new-style rural area building of Hoa
Binh, each year, the majority of products registered for OCOP programme have
received low score due to small production scale and modest quality, and a lack
of safe production standards such as VietGAP or organic. The reason behind the
situation is low investment in production process, and farmers’ poor
understanding of the OCOP programme.
Hoang Van Tuan, deputy chief of the provincial coordinating office for
new-style rural area building said that in order to promote OCOP products’
trademark and head to export, it is necessary to mobilise the engagement of the
whole political system and the community by popularising the programme and
encouraging people to join the programme.
Meanwhile, it is necessary to increase trade promotion and conduct general
intellectual property protection for the whole programme, while guiding
producers of protected products to abide by relevant regulations, including
those in origin.
Tuan said that along with ensuring good quality and prices of their products,
the province should support farmers to sell their OCOP products in e-commerce
platforms such as Sendo, Voso, Postmart.vn, Shopee and Lazada.
Tuan also advised the province to focus on developing OCOP products in
association with promoting the locality’s major farm produce such as citrus
fruits and Da River’s fish./.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh attended a groundbreaking ceremony for an electronic printed circuit board (PCB) factory at Da River Left Bank Industrial Park in Hoa Binh province on April 13. The electronic PCB factory is invested by Japan's Meiko Group at a total cost of 200 million USD.
In the first quarter of 2024, the credit institutions in the province have actively deployed the legal documents of the State and the State Bank relating to currency, credit and interest rates. At the same time, they have promoted the capital mobilization, focusing on the solutions to expand the credit investment along with strengthening the credit quality management, lending to priority programs to promptly meet the capital needs for export - business and consumer demand during Tet in 2024.
Outside the key economic region of Hoa Binh, yet Lac Son district has utilised its potential and strengths regarding labour, land, and transportation connectivity to attract investment to the locality, contributing to promoting socio-economic development.
In a move to expedite the execution and disbursement of the 2024 capital plan for ODA projects, aiming for a disbursement rate of over 90% of the allocated funding, the Hoa Binh People's Committee issued Document No. 483/UBND-KTN on April 3, 2024, regarding such efforts.
Nguyen Van Thap from Kim Duc hamlet, Vinh Tien commune, Kim Boi district, has built the brand of Hoa Qua Son for local fruits. His efforts have brought about income for his family and generated job opportunities for locals, helping hundreds of households escape from poverty.
The Hoa Binh administration was entrusted by the Prime Minister with a budget of 3.43 trillion VND (142.91 million USD) for investment in 2024. The provincial People's Council approved nearly 3.76 trillion VND, which has been meticulously allocated to projects, achieving 100% of the assigned capital plan.
