(HBO) – The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Hoa Binh province and concerned enterprises organised a ceremony on March 19 to mark the export of the first batch of fresh sugarcane to the US.
Sugarcane products are transported to vehicles
and sealed for export to the US.
The event was attended by Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee
Dinh Cong Su, representatives from departments, agencies and trade partners,
and local officials.
Since late 2021, Tien Ngan Trading Investment Company Limited has shipped more
than 100 tonnes of fresh sugarcane to the EU, Japan and the Republic of Korea.
The orders have been on the rise, showing that the product has gained a
foothold in demanding markets.
After nearly six months of negotiations, with support of the Department of
Agriculture and Rural Development and the Plant Protection Department, it has
satisfied technical requirements by the US side.
The first 17.3 tonnes of fresh sugarcane exported to the US were purchased,
processed and packaged by Tien Ngan. Meanwhile, New Production Technology and
Trading Development Company Limited and Vina Agri Import Company were in charge
of procedures and logistics.
Ten sugarcane juice rolling mills were also shipped to the market on this
occasion.
Speaking at the ceremony, Su asked the Department of Agriculture and Rural
Development and other departments and agencies and localities in Hoa Binh to
further facilitate sugarcane production and processing, meeting food safety
requirements and others set by both domestic and foreign markets.
More batches of fresh sugarcane are to be exported to the RoK this month.
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.
