(HBO) – To adapt to the complicated developments of the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure the sales of farm produce, in addition to traditional channels, many production units and cooperatives in Lac Thuy district of Hoa Binh province have tried to diversify methods to sell farm produce via modern retailing channels.
Son Lan cooperative in
Dong Tam (Lac Thuy) sorts chicken eggs and packs them in accordance with order
in the Postmart.vn e-commerce market.
With the collaboration with the
Postmart.vn e-commerce platform, the agricultural sector of Lac Thuy has
addressed bottlenecks in the sales of its OCOP products.
Bui Thi Lan, Director of Son
Lan Cooperative in Dong Tam, said that before COVID-19 broke out, the
cooperative sold its chicken eggs directly to local consumers and through links
with supermarkets and retail shops in Hanoi. However, in recent months, trading
activities face many obstacles due to social distancing measures.
As a result, the cooperative
took the initiative to ask for assistance from the district’s agriculture and
rural development office to bolster sales.
The office has helped connect
the cooperative with the district's post office, so that it can put members'
products on the e-commerce platform of Vietnam Post.
Besides Son Lan, in recent
year, with the birth of new agricultural models, due attention has been paid to
new retail channels. The district is now home to three supply and sales chains,
ensuring stable markets for local products.
Vice head of the district’s
agriculture and rural development office Hoang Dinh Chinh said cooperatives and
units greatly benefit from access to modern retailing channels.
As the development of farm
produce sale channels still faces various difficulties, to seize opportunities,
cooperatives and units in the district need to enhance their management
capacity, devise development plans and orientations in accordance with their
situations./.
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.
