The week will be organised at five Co.op marts
in Ha Dong, Hoang Mai and Long Bien districts of Hanoi. Staples of Hoa Binh province on show
will include citrus fruits, vegetables, mountain peanut (Plukenetia Volubilis

chickens farmed on hills, which are all high-quality products with food safety,
VietGAP, GlobalGAP and "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) certificates.
At the meeting, officials noted the week is an
important event for popularising local products and promoting investment, so it
must introduce truly typical products of the province. The participating units
also have to ensure the supply and preservation of goods during the week.
Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s
Committee Nguyen Van Dung said the event is an occasion to promote agricultural
specialties of Hoa Binh and help consumers access safe and high-quality
products of the province. Therefore, preparations must be made thoroughly.
Additionally, businesses and cooperatives will
also have a chance to introduce their potential, strengths and key products;
form connections between producers and distributors; seek contracts; and
transfer technology, he noted.
The official also assigned the provincial
Department of Public Security to coordinate with its Hanoi peer to ensure security, order, traffic
safety and fire prevention during the week. Meanwhile, the Hoa Binh Cooperative
Alliance needs to fine-tune the detailed organisation plan to submit it to the
Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee for decision. It is also
necessary to step up communications about the week on local and central media
agencies.
The event is scheduled to take place at the
Saigon Co.op network in Hanoi
from December 7 to 13./.
During the two days of November 14th – 15th, at the Provincial Cultural Palace, the Department of Industry and Trade organized a conference to connect the product consumption of the ethnic minorities and the mountainous areas in 2024. There was the attendance of the representatives of leaders of a number of departments, branches, businesses, manufacturers and distributors inside and outside the province.
The One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme is reshaping the rural economy of Lac Son district, helping improve living standards, particularly among the ethnic minority communities in remote areas of Lac Son district.
The Van Mai dam xanh (Bangana lemassoni) fish has long been famous for its unique and delicious flavour, earning a spot on the menus of many restaurants and attracting food connoisseurs. In recent years, residents in Van Mai commune, Mai Chau district, have expanded their fish farming areas and striven to build a strong reputation for their product. They are also working to establish it as an OCOP (One Commune, One Product) item to increase their income.
Outstanding rural industrial products of Hoa Binh province in 2024 were recently honoured and granted certificates, becoming a source of pride for producers and also a boost for local economic development. The honourees are all deeply imbued with the local cultural identity and boast considerable commercial potential, helping popularise the image of Hoa Binh to domestic and international consumers. This is also a solid stepping stone for rural industrial establishments to develop.
In the first 10 months of 2024, Hoa Binh city made significant progress in job creation and labour exports, sending 112 workers abroad through partnerships with authorised recruitment firms.
An award ceremony to announce the official certification for Mai Chau district’s Bangana lemassoni fish, a specialty of the locality because of its unique flavour, was held recently in the district.
