Kim Boi mineral water has been known as a precious natural gift bestowed upon the district of Kim Boi. Kim Boi mineral water is extracted from limestone beds formed 250 million years old at a depth of 175.5m with a temperature of 36.5°C. It contains many minerals useful for human health such as calcium, sodium and magnesium.

As one of the two units that
are licensed for mineral exploitation in the district, the Kim Boi Mineral
Water joint Stock Company has focused on investing in infrastructure, building
new workshops, and purchasing modern production machines, meeting ISO
9001:2008, ISO 22000:2005 standards, with a total value of hundreds of VND.
Kim Boi mineral water meets
the requirements of food safety and hygiene quality certified by the Ministry
of Health. It has been granted a trademark registration certificate and voted
for high-quality Vietnamese products. The company has supplied various natural
mineral water products to the market, along with improving product designs to
cater to customer segments.
The company's total revenue
reaches over 15.3 billion VND (597,181 USD) per year, providing stable jobs and
income for nearly 40 local workers. Last year, Kim Boi mineral water was
certified as meeting 4-star One Commune One Product (OCOP) standards. With its
potential and existing advantages, the company is carrying out a major
restructuring and speeding up investment promotion toward being recognised as a
5-star OCOP product, gradually becoming natural mineral water brand with the
largest market share in Vietnam.
Vu Hai Phong, General
Director of the Kim Boi Mineral Water joint Stock Company, said that over the
past 45 years of formation and development, its Kim Boi mineral water products
have gained the trust of consumers. The company has invested in upgrading two
new bottling production lines using German technology with a capacity of 60
million bottles per year, he added.
Aiming to become not only a
strong domestic brand but also reach the global market, the company continues
to invest in infrastructure, equipment to expand production and diversify
products.
It is also building a
promotion strategy, introducing products as a specialty of Kim Boi district, building
a new wastewater treatment area to ensure environmental criteria; focusing on
efficiently exploiting rare and precious mineral water sources, Phong said,
adding that the company is striving to satisfy criteria to be recognised as a
5-star OCOP product, elevating the Kim Boi natural mineral water brand to new
heights.
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.
