Longdan is a leading Vietnamese group in the UK specialising in importing Vietnamese goods to the UK and other European nation.
On this occasion, the two sides inked a memorandum of understanding on cooperation, under which they committed to building long-term, sustainable cooperative ties.
The common goal is to promote the export of OCOP and typical agricultural products of Hoa Binh to the UK and other markets where Longdan is operating.
Longdan will provide consultation for Hoa Binh and its businesses, help the locality boost the export and sales of OCOP and other agricultural products, provide information, promote Hoa Binh’s potential, advantages and investment opportunities to British businesses, investors and people, and attract and implement charity and social welfare programmes in the province (if there are any).

The People’s Committee, in response, will support importers and exporters who are Longdan’s partners with administrative procedures.
On this occasion, Longdan signed a contract with RYB JSC of Hoa Binh to ship one container of grapefruit to the UK this year.
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.

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.
