booth introducing solanum trilobatum products.
The opening ceremony was
attended by Politburo member and Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue, Deputy
Minister of Industry and Trade Do Thang Hai, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and
Rural Development Tran Thanh Nam, and Vice President of the Vietnam Cooperative
Alliance Nguyen Manh Cuong.
Hoa Binh officials at the event included Bui Van
Tinh, member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial
Party Committee; Tran Dang Ninh, Vice Secretary of the provincial Party
Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Council; and Bui Van Khanh,
Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial
People’s Committee.
The opening ceremony was also attended by
officials of Hanoi and the provinces of Vinh Phuc, Bac Ninh, Hung Yen and Ha
Nam, along with representatives of the Central Retail Vietnam group, Big C
Thang Long supermarket, along with outstanding businesses, cooperatives and
farming households of Hoa Binh.
The fair features 22 booths of 18 businesses and
cooperatives from the province, showcasing a wide range of high-quality
products like Cao Phong oranges, Tan Lac red-flesh and green-skin pomelos,
Luong Son and Yen Thuy vegetables and fruits, shrimp and fish farmed on the Da
River, Lac Son chickens, and tea products.
In his opening speech, Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh said Hoa Binh pledges to create the
best possible conditions for businesses and investors to explore cooperation
opportunities and make long-term investment, especially in the production,
harvesting, processing, preservation, sale and export of agricultural products.
The province hopes that in the coming time, it
will receive more coordination from ministries, central agencies, the Hanoi
People’s Committee and Central Retail Vietnam to organise supply – demand
connecting activities to boost the sale of those products in the domestic
market and seek ways to export them, thereby helping to raise local farmers’
income and develop production.
Addressing the event, Deputy Minister of
Industry and Trade Do Thang Hai said the fair is part of a series of activities
helping to boost the sale of localities’ specialities launched by the Ministry
of Industry and Trade in 2018. It creates a chance for Hoa Binh to continue
introducing its unique and high-quality specialties to Hanoi’s consumers via
Big C Thang Long. It is also hoped to help the province distribute local
products via the network of Central Retail Vietnam, which currently owns 37
supermarkets nationwide, and the group’s retail system in other countries.
At the opening ceremony, Big C and Hoa Binh
signed memoranda of understanding on the sale of safe and high-quality citrus
fruits and agro-aquatic products. The Hoa Binh parties were the Lac Thuy
chicken farming cooperative (with Lac Thuy chickens that obtained the One
Commune, One Product recognition), the Hoa Binh agricultural cooperative (with
Luong Son goat products), the Dong Lai cooperative for clean agricultural
product production and business (with Tan Lac red-flesh pomelos and Hoa Binh
tangerines), the Ha Phong cooperative (with Cao Phong oranges), and the Cuong Thinh
Construction Co. Ltd (with fish farmed on the Da River).
The fair is scheduled to last through November
18./.
Hoa Binh province’s economy posted an impressive Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) growth rate of 12.67% in the first quarter of 2025, representing a 12.76% year-on-year increase, the highest rate recorded since the beginning of the current tenure, according to the provincial Statistics Office. This robust growth reflects years of strategic groundwork and sets a strong foundation for the province’s annual growth target of over 10%.
With a focus on cash crop farming with science - technology application and brand building, Lac Thuy district is gradually increasing production value, improving people's life quality, and laying the foundation for sustainable socio-economic development.
In recent years, the economic development model "Hoa Binh Earthworm Farm” run by Mr. Bui Van Dang in Co Giua Hamlet, My Thanh Commune (Lac Son district) has not only brought stable economic value but it is also environmentally friendly, helping to protect and reduce pollution, contributing to the construction of a green and sustainable agriculture.
Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
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.
