(HBO) – After over four years implementing the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme, Hoa Binh city now has three 11 products awarded 3-star recognition and seven others achieving 4-star certification. This year, the locality aims to develop 10 more 3-star OCOP products and elevate one existing 3-star product to a 4-star level.


The Inca Inchi essential oil product receives support in terms of packaging and design when joining the development of the 3-star OCOP products.

At present, the city's OCOP products mainly fall into the categories of processed food, herbal medicine, and beverages. Many of the 4-star OCOP products involve the deep processing of local specialties, such as the trio of products made from black carp, golden snakehead fish, and black lang fish from Hai Dang Seafood Company, the Ca gai leo tea and Shan Tuyet tea from Pa Co, the Inca Inchi tea, and various Inca Inchi oils and lemongrass essential oils.

These activities include organising seminars, conferences, trips and knowledge-sharing sessions to raise awareness among businesses, organisations and individuals involved in the programme.

Resources have also been allocated to support the completion of certification procedures for OCOP products and to popularise these products to consumers.

This year, the city plans to develop 10 new 3-star OCOP products, including Muong ethnic leaf yeast, leaf yeast rice liquor by Vuong Thi Hang business household in Trung Minh ward; salted chicken, smoked chicken, and salted chicken legs by Tay Bac Foods JSC in Yen Mong commune; the "dinh lang" wine by Duong Thi Huong business household; Thuy Bach incense and Nham Thuy Bach massage oil by Bach Viet Cooperative in Dan Chu ward; Dao ethnic honey by Dao Agricultural Cooperative in Thong Nhat ward; Cuu Vi tea by Huna's Home Herbal Company in Tan Hoa ward; and lemongrass lime essential oil by Dao Agricultural Cooperative in Thong Nhat ward.
