Building OCOP products is part of the measures that Hoa Binh has worked out to improve the values of local fisheries as well as promote sustainable development of the sector.
Developing
OCOP products helps increase the values of the local aquaculture products.
Being one of the five provinces boasting huge
potential for reservoir fisheries development, Hoa Binh has issued various
policies to encourage and support sustainable cage culture and strive to
develop its "Da River fish” and "Da River shrimp” brands which were recognised
by the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam.
Besides, its efforts to develop aquaculture OCOP
products have paid off, as its five processed goods are certified as four-star
OCOP and four as three-star ones.
Cage culture has been developed in five hamlets
in Tien Phong commune, Da bac district over the past years. However, not until
the Da Giang Eco Cooperative set up production linkage with farmers, has
aquaculture brought high income to the locals.
Last year, the cooperative’s Da River black
carp, Da River black hemibagrus guttatus, and Da River armorhead catfish were
recognised as three-star products, which is seen as a motive to bolster local
caged-fish farming.
Director of the cooperative Xa Ngoc Hung said
the cooperative has given weight to intensive processing instead of selling
fresh fish, adding getting the OCOP certification has made it easier for the
cooperative to popularise its products and increase their values.
Head of the provincial Department of Fisheries
Luong Thanh Hai said that the sector has paid due heed to piloting cage culture
models in line with VietGAP standards, developing OCOP brands, building linkage
chains, and encouraging cooperatives to promote large-scale production in
accordance with specific quality standards.
Recently, the Standing Committee of Cao Phong District’s Youth Communist Union has actively directed the effective implementation of the models of collective economic development among youth, promoting the start-up movement among the youth, and helping each other develop the economy to get rich in their homeland.
Da Bac district leverages its abundant grazing lands and diverse food resources to develop goat farming as a key economic model. This initiative not only enhances incomes but also contributes to poverty alleviation and local socio-economic development.
The year-end is considered a "golden time" to stimulate trade and tourism. Various activities have been organised to seize positive market signals, enhance product branding, and drive socio-economic growth.
Hoa Binh Province currently has over 870
hectares of tea plantations, with six districts having concentrated tea
production areas that boast advantages in soil, climate, history, and
distinctive tea varieties: Yen Thuy, Lac Thuy, Da Bac, Mai Chau, Tan Lac, and
Luong Son.
Recently, Hoa Binh province has continued to review the planning of industrial parks up to 2030 and implemented procedures to prepare subdivision plans for industrial parks as per regulations.
