Farmers' associations at all levels in Hoa Binh have focused on supporting farmers in developing OCOP products, introducing agricultural products on e-commerce platforms, and promoting the emulation movement to develop the collective economy and the building of new-style cooperatives. These efforts aim to support and accompany associations' members in promoting and consuming their agricultural products.
Ha Hoan safe farm produce store in Bo town (Kim Boi district) provides clean and safe products, and OCOP products meeting VietGAP standards produced by farmers in the district and neighbouring districts.
The associations have promoted production linkage and consumption connection of agricultural products and food for farmers. The provincial Farmers' Association has directed the provincial centre to support farmers to coordinate with relevant agencies to enhance activities to promote, introduce, and consume products for farmers.
Many coordination programmes have been implemented to support members in selling agricultural products and introducing farm produce on e-commerce platforms.
The association has also assisted the establishment of two safe farm produce and food stores in Tan Lac and Kim Boi districts, contributing to promoting and selling safe, VietGAP, organic, and OCOP products produced by local farmers.
As a result, 773 households in Hoa Binh had accounts on e-commerce platforms. The provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism collaborated with relevant agencies and units to strengthen the introduction of OCOP products and other typical farm produce of Hoa Binh at the 20th Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Festival with more than 100 VietGAP, organic, and OCOP products exhibited at the event.
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.
