(HBO) – A festival promoting fish sourced from Da River in Hoa Binh province was held at the Da River fish supermarket located on Lac Long Quan street, Tay Ho district, Hanoi, from December 15-17.
The
event was co-organised by the sub-department of agro-forestry-fishery product
quality management and Minh Phu Seafood Corp (Micfood).
Consumers
in Hanoi visit Da River fish supermarket.
Micfood
is operating in aquaculture with 60 fish cages, and cooperating in raising 200
others on Hoa Binh Lake. With closely-controlled quality and product
origin-tracing stamps, the company received a VietGap certificate this year.
Each year, it provides 450 tonnes of fish for supermarkets and restaurants in
the capital city.
Special
species of Da River fish along with processed fishery products were introduced
during the week-long event. On this occasion, Micfood offered a 20 percent
discount to bills.
According
to the sub-department, the festival, the fourth of its kind, aims to promote Da
River fish to consumers in Hanoi and its adjacent localities./.
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.
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.
