(HBO) - Hoa Binh province is currently home to 11 trade villages and traditional trade villages recognised by the provincial People’s Committee.

Lau Sieu wine of Mai Ha wine-making trade village in Mai Chau district’s Mai Ha commune meets provincial three-star OCOP standards.

Of the total, there are two trade villages operating in the processing industry (wine-making), two in the handicraft industry and seven traditional trade villages engaged in the production of wood and rattan products, ceramics, garment and textiles, embroidery and knitting. These trade villages have created jobs for over 1,000 locals, including nearly 700 full-time labourers, with an average per capita income of 2-4 million VND per month. Their revenue is totalled at 57.27 billion VND.

In 2019, two trade villages had products meeting provincial one commune-one product (OCOP) standards: handmade brocade products of the Lac hamlet brocade weaving trade village in Mai Chau district’s Chieng Chau commune and Lau Sieu wine of the Mai Ha wine-making trade village in the district’s Mai Ha commune. Two trade villages had their product brands registered: Mai Ha and Dinh village wine-making trade villages in Yen Thuy district’s Phu Lai commune.

Products key to the trade villages’ development include brocade products of the Thai and H’Mong ethnic groups in Mai Chau district, "can” wine of several production facilities in Hoa Binh city, "do” paper in Cao Son commune, and "lua” wood in Lam Son commune in Luong Son district, rock ornaments in Lac Thuy district’s Phu Thanh commune.

To preserve and develop the trade villages, the province is currently prioritising the development of these villages in combination with tourism development, and including the preservation and development of traditional trade villages in the implementation of the OCOP programme.

Over the past years, local traditional trade villages and trade villages have seen developments. However, the sale of their products through big contracts is still limited, as few businesses sign contracts covering product purchase. The domestic market remains unstable, while these trade villages’ products have yet to gain access to foreign markets. The trade villages have yet to pay attention to brand registration and packaging. Therefore, the province needs to continue preserving and developing these trade villages, pay more attention to branding towards the formation of cultural-tourism trade villages, actively include products in the OCOP Programme, intensify the promotion of products, expand consumption markets, build exhibition houses, and offer vocational training for younger generations./.
