Committee, presents a souvenir to Vietnamese Ambassador to Thailand Phan Chi
Thanh.
Long was accompanied by Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee
Nguyen Van Toan, head of the Party Committee’s Organisation Commission Bui Thi
Minh, and representatives from departments, agencies and localities in Hoa
Binh.
The delegation is scheduled to popularise Hoa Binh’s potential, advantages,
investment environment, investment attraction mechanisms and policies, products
under the "One Commune-One Product” programme, and tourist sites to Thai investors.
As part of their trip, the officials visited the Vietnamese Embassy in the
country on July 15.
From July 17-20, they will hold working sessions with authorities of Bangkok
city, the Thailand-Vietnam Business Council, business associations, and big
groups of Thailand, and organise a conference on investment, trade and tourism
promotion in the capital city. This will be an opportunity for Thai
organisations, businesses, and investors to explore investment cooperation, and
import-export opportunities, and develop tours to Hoa Binh.
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.
