(HBO) - Over the past time, Lac Thuy district in Hoa Binh province has implemented many synchronous measures to support and orient the development of OCOP (one commune one product) products. Currently, the district is managing and developing four agricultural products granted with protection certificates by the National Office of Intellectual Property of Vietnam, including a collective brand of Lac Thuy orange, and three certificate brands of Lac Thuy chicken, Lac Thuy custard-apple, and Lac Thuy goat.

dragon fruit of Ba Hang Doi township agricultural service cooperative (Lac

The district is also managing and developing ten OCOP
products ranked by the provincial People's Committee, of which two are rated
four stars, namely fresh chicken and Song Boi tea; and eight three stars: Dong
Bong custard-apple, Ngoc Han chicken egg, Khoan Du honey, red-flesh dragon
fruit, queen melon, Chung Huong orange, Lac Thuy orange, and egg orange.
In 2021, the district registered to build three OCOP
products, namely white oyster mushrooms, Hai Dang fresh chicken, and green

Making OCOP recognition the target of local products has helped businesses,
cooperatives, production and business facilities improve product quality,
increase competitiveness and gain a foothold in the market./.

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.
