(HBO) - Over the past years, Hoa Binh province has created conditions for businesses specialising in agricultural products in the locality to meet their counterparts nationwide in order to seek cooperation opportunities and expand markets. The move aims to promote trade and build brand names for local agricultural products, especially high-quality ones.
Fish
products under One Commune One Product (OCOP) standards of Cuong Thinh Co., Ltd
in Hoa Binh province have won consumer favour.
The
province has helped to build geographical indication for Cao Phong orange and collective
brand names for Son Thuy longan in Kim Boi district, Quyet Chien chayote leaves
in Tan Lac district, Lac Thuy orange and Tan Lac pomelo, and protect
intellectual rights for Da River fish and shrimp, Hoa Binh honey and Lac Thuy
chicken. It is making plans to assist
other local products to get certificates.
Some
agricultural products of Hoa Binh like orange and pomelo have been placed on
shelves in major supermarkets and commercial centres such as Big C, Hapro Mart,
T Mart, Vinmart, Qmart, Co.opmart and Lotte, contributing to building an
agricultural sector towards mass production, with high productivity, quality
and competitiveness.
Hoa
Binh has provided safe product certificates for six production and business
facilities, implemented a system on product origin and supply-demand connection
at hb.check.gov.vn, and helped to build stores introducing safe products in Luong
Son, Da Bac and Lac Thuy districts, and Hoa Binh province, including one
recognised by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development./.
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.
