Being recognized as a 3-star
OCOP product of the province and it has helped improve the economic value of
Shan Tuyet tea in Trung Thanh commune (Da Bac).
In the period of 2021 - 2025, Da Bac district aims to build and
develop on average 1 - 2 products that meet OCOP standards with 3 stars or
more. They are trying to have at least 8 products recognized as OCOP products
at the provincial level for the whole period. To accomplish the goal, the
district has been focusing on building the material areas in the direction of
linking production with the product consumption; the production scale is
gradually expanding, participating in the linkages along the value chains and
food safety chains. At the same time, they have clearly identified the
advantageous and competitive products to standardize and upgrade in the
direction of the potential products for export; encouraging the subjects to
continue registering to upgrade the star rating of products from 3 to 4 stars.
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.
