(HBO) – The One Commune-One Product (OCOP) programme, which has been launched recently, has proved to be a sound direction that contributes to the restructuring of agricultural sector, enhancing the production value and building trademark for typical farm produce of Yen Thuy district.
Solanum
procumbens glue produced by Bao Hieu Cooperative has been given a four-star
rating by the OCOP Council of Yen Thuy district and selected to compete at the
provincial OCOP contest.
In 2019, Yen
Thuy district registered eight products in three goods group for the OCOP
Programme of the province in the 2019-2020 period. Among the products, two are in
the beverage group, namely Du Din wine by a cooperative group in Dinh village (Phu
Lai commune) and Muong Dinh wine produced by Bui Duc Long’s family in Ha
village (Phu Lai commune).
Two other
products are in the herbal product group, which are solanum procumbens glue by Bao Hieu agro-forestry cooperative
and solanum procumbens tea by Binh An company in Yen Son village, Yen Lac
commune.
The four other products are in the food group, which are bee honey
by Yen Tan Cooperative in Yen Tan village, Ngoc Luong commune; Yen Thuy
green-skin pomelo by Bao Hieu agro-forestry cooperative No. 1 and Dai Dong
agriculture cooperative in Ngoc Luong commune; and Yen Thuy green zucchini by
Bao Hieu agro-forestry cooperative and Doan Ket agriculture cooperative; Yen
Thuy taro by Ngoc Luong agriculture-service cooperative and Ninh Hoa
agriculture cooperative in Yen Tri commune.
In order to create connections between producers and
consumers, contributing to promoting production and providing high quality OCOP
products to the market, the People’s Committee of Yen Thuy has arranged for
local cooperatives and producers to attend trade fairs and exhibitions to
introduce typical products of the district. The products have drawn attention
and trust of consumers. Particularly, solanum procumbens glue produced by Bao
Hieu Cooperative was rated four stars by the district’s verification council.
This is one of the 12 products chosen by the provincial People’s Committee to join
a pilot programme to standardize OCOP products of the province in 2019.
In the future, in order to meet the demand of consumers in
and outside the province for high-quality OCOP products, the district will
continue promoting the development of large-scale production of the products,
while supporting the standardization of the products as well as intellectual
property protection. At the same time, the locality will increase trade
promotion activities to help farmers sell their products./.
According to data from the Hoa Binh Provincial Party Committee, the industrial production index for the first six months of 2025 is estimated to have increased by 20% compared to the same period last year. This marks the highest year-on-year growth rate for this period since 2020.
In the first six months of 2025, Hoa Binh province’s export turnover was estimated at 1.145 billion USD, marking an 18.11% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Import turnover was estimated at $ 804 million, a 17.15% increase, which helped the province maintain a positive trade balance.
The lives of the ethnic minority farmers in Tan Lac district have gradually improved thanks to the new directions in agricultural production. This is a testament to the collective strength fostered through the professional associations and groups implemented by various levels of the district’s Farmers’ Union.
With the motto the "product quality comes first,” after nearly one year of establishment and operation, Muong village’s Clean Food Agricultural and Commercial Cooperative, located in Cau Hamlet, Hung Son Commune (Kim Boi district), has launched reputable, high-quality agricultural products to the market that are well-received by consumers. The products such as Muong village’s pork sausage, salt-cured chicken, and salt-cured pork hocks have gradually carved out a place in the market and they are on the path to obtaining the OCOP certification.
In the past, the phrase "bumper harvest, rock-bottom prices" was a familiar refrain for Vietnamese farmers engaged in fragmented, small-scale agriculture. But today, a new spirit is emerging across rural areas of Hoa Binh province - one of collaboration, organisation, and collective economic models that provide a stable foundation for production.
Maintaining growing area codes and packing facility codes in accordance with regulations is a mandatory requirement for agricultural products to be eligible for export. Recently, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Hoa Binh province has intensified technical supervision of designated farming areas and packing facilities to safeguard the "green passport" that enables its products to access international markets.
