The information was announced at the launch ceremony of the
"Vietnamese Goods Identification - Proud of Vietnamese Goods” programme 2018
and the Vietnamese Goods Development Partners Conference held by the Ministry
of Industry and Trade (MoIT) in Ho Chi Minh City on October 11.
According to the MoIT, the annual programme on identifying
Vietnamese Goods has attracted the attention of a large number of Vietnamese
consumers, contributing to boosting the use of Vietnamese goods.
Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Do Thang Hai said that
the MoIT will continue to hold various activities promoting the linkages
between all types of enterprises in order to enhance the competitiveness of
Vietnamese goods.
Director of the MoIT's Domestic Market Department Tran Duy
Dong noted that the ministry will also concentrate on promoting the consumption
of local specialities and products of small and medium-sized enterprises
through distribution channels.
Dong added that the market share of Vietnamese goods is
expected to rise to over 80% at distribution channels by 2020.
More than 100 of the 400 firms participating in the programme held
exhibitions on their products and services, including large corporations such
as the Electricity of Vietnam and the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group.

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.
In 2019, the "One Commune, One Product" (OCOP) programme took root in Yen Thuy district. At the time, local products lacked branding, packaging, and labels, mostly sold in raw form through small-scale distribution. However, amid these challenges was a crucial advantage: farmers' willingness to change, experiment with standardised processes, and learn to package and price products based on value, not just weight.
Once barely visible on the northern region’s tourism map, Hoa Binh province welcomed 4.3 million visitors last year, generating a tourism revenue of nearly 4.74 trillion VND (USD), according for 31% of its GDRP. Beyond mere statistics, the milestone demonstrates that tourism and services have become new growth engines for the locality.
