(HBO) – Hoa Binh city’s Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the People’s Committees of Lac Son and Cao Phong districts, and R.Y.B joint Stocks Company on July 25 held a ceremony to mark the export of two One Commune One Product (OCOP) products - turmeric starch and pink-fleshed Eureka lemon in honey - to the UK.
Representatives from departments, agencies and
company cut ribbons for the shipment at the ceremony.
The batch concludes 60 boxes of turmeric starch produced by the Nhung Van Co.
Ltd in Lac Son district and pink-fleshed Eureka lemon in honey by the Ha Phong
Cooperative in Cao Phong district. Each box contains 1,080 jars and each jar
weighs 200-500 grams.
Workers load the exported
products onto a truck.
Speaking at the ceremony, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee
Dinh Cong Su said that the export of the two OCOP items proved the potential
and advantages of the province’s agricultural products to meet consumers’
tastes, even those in choosy markets.
He said that in the coming time, the province’s agricultural sector and localities
will continue to strengthen directing the production, and development of raw
material areas. Local authorities will support the certification of food safety
for the raw material areas and help manufacturers to improve product quality,
packaging design, traceability stamps, and participate in trade promotion
programmes.
Departments, agencies and local authorities are the bridge
connecting producers with businesses so that the parties can regularly meet and
exchange information to improve the product quality and designs to better meet
the requirements of the market, he said.
Local authorities were asked to promptly grasp the problems and
difficulties of the parties, and timely support them to solve the problems.
He said local authorities will continue to call on investors and support them
in investing and purchasing products./.
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.
