(HBO) – All data of cooperatives in Lac Thuy district has been connected to the national information system on cooperative registration. Cooperatives have applied high technology to make products that meet One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme, organic or global good agricultural practices (GlobalGAP) standards. In addition to expanding consumption markets, many have pioneered in putting their products on sale on e-commerce platforms namely Voso.vn and Postmart.vn as well as social networks like Facebook or Zalo.
Tuan Chuyen Livestock Breeding
Service Cooperative in Lac Thuy district’s Phu Thanh commune applies advanced
technology in production.
Implementing digital transformation in
cooperatives, the district Steering Committee for Collective Economic
Development, in coordination with the provincial Post Office and Viettel Post,
has organised training courses and communication campaigns for cooperatives on
digital transformation; provided guidance on online sales skills and posted
products on the e-commerce trading floors. The cooperatives have been supported
in building a collective brand for Lac Thuy oranges; using certification marks
for Lac Thuy chicken, Lac Thuy goat, Lac Thuy custard apple, Song Boi tea and
OCOP products. They have also received assistance in the application of science
and technology which served the development of key products with export
potential; and in promotion of research on post-harvest preservation and
processing technology suitable to the locality’s condition. The development of
organic and clean agricultural cooperatives has been encouraged.
The district currently has 47
cooperativesoperating under the Law on Cooperatives 2012, including 38
agricultural, four handicraft, two transport service and three commercial service
ones.
The implementation of digital transformation in
cooperatives has changed their operation organisation and management compared
to traditional methods; improving the quality and efficiency of their
activities.
As one of the province’s outstanding
cooperatives, Son Nam Cooperative has created jobs for many local workers with
an average income of 6 million VND (253 USD) per month. The annual revenue of
the cooperative is over 4.6 billion VND.
Bui Thi Lan, Director of Son Nam Cooperative,
said the cooperative has poured capital into raising chickens, pigs, buffaloes
and cows, planting fruit trees; and many other services. It also focuses on
investing in advanced technology and equipment to reduce the environmental
pollution.
Son Nam Cooperative now has a flock of over
5,000 chickens, supplying the market with about 3,000 eggs a day. The Ngoc Han
egg of the cooperative has been certified as a provincial-level OCOP product
and put on the e-commerce platform Postmart.vn.
According to the district Steering Committee for
Collective Economic Development, there are still difficulties in the
implementation of digital transformation in cooperatives.
A number of cooperatives have applied high
technology in their production and business activities, but due attention
hasn’t been paid to the application of technology in product processing and
promotion. Low capacity of human resources, especially managers at agricultural
cooperatives, is also a matter.
In the coming time, it is necessary for the
district to get support from agencies and sectors at all levels in terms of
capital and technology to help cooperatives with modern and sustainable
production, especially facilitating the introduction of their products on
e-commerce trading floors./.
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.
