(HBO) – A ceremony was held at Mai Ha commune of Mai Chau district on March 28 to announce and hand over the trademark protection certificate to "Mai Ha wine” product of the district.
A leader of the Mai Chau district People’s Committee hands over Mai Ha wine trademark protection certificate to a representative of the People’s Committee of Mai Ha commune.
Mai Ha wine is exclusively produced in Mai Ha commune. The most special feature of Mai Ha wine is that the yeast is made by locals’ own method with many stages. Many kinds of precious ingredients and herbs are produced locally following the secrets of families passed on to their descendants to create a unique flavour that is not found in any wine made in other places.
Mai Ha wine product has been granted intellectual property protection certificate by the National Office of Intellectual Property.
The People’s Committee of Mai Chau has built a set of criteria for identifying distinctive quality of the product, along with trademark design, a set of regulations on management and development of Mai Ha wine trademark, and plans and strategies to promote and sell the product through distribution channels with identification and traceability system, in order to establish a mechanism to protect, manage and use the "Mai Ha wine” trademark, thus ensuring the quality control and trade promotion for the product.
Statistics showed that currently, 45 local households in Mai Ha engage in wine production, mostly in Chieng craft village where 30 producers are residing. Each month, the households produce nearly 2,000 litres of wine to sell in Hanoi and some neighbouring provinces. Notably, Mai Ha wine produced by some facilities has been recognised as a three-star OCOP (One Commune-One Produce) product.

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.
