(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.

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.
