Over the past years, all-level Party Committees and authorities in Da Phuc commune, Yen Thuy district, have taken various solutions to reduce poverty sustainably.
Thanks to such efforts,
the rates of poor and near-poor households drop annually, and people’s living
standards have been improved significantly.
The glue of Da cam, a herbal plant
scientifically known as Hedyotis capitellata Wall. ex G. Don, satisfies food
hygiene and safety requirements in different steps, from harvesting to sorting
and processing.
Generations of the Muong ethnic group in Yen
Thuy district have used Da cam, a herbal plant scientifically known as Hedyotis
capitellata Wall. ex G. Don, to treat gastrointestinal diseases.
To maximise the foliage’s medicinal properties,
the Yen Tri Agricultural Cooperative in Tan Thanh hamlet, Yen Tri commune (Yen
Thuy district), has studied and put up for sale the special kind of glue.
Its director Bui Phi Nam said the Da cam is
especially useful against stomachache and mouth ulcers, noting the glue product
satisfies food hygiene and safety requirements in different steps, f
rom harvesting to sorting and processing.
The product has been rated three stars under the
"One Commune-One Product” programme, and favoured by customers in many cities
and provinces nationwide, he said.
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.
