consumption units at the event.
The programme featured nearly 100 products on display, including One Commune-
One Product (OCOP), VietGAP-certified agricultural products, medicinal herbs,
quality livestock, and other items from 11 local enterprises.
The event was expected to boost the linkage between consumption
and manufacturing units with products manufactured and managed by women in both
Hoa Binh and other localities.
Besides, the initiative also sought to promote agricultural products,
handicrafts, services, and tourism, among others, from Hoa Binh’s women to
provinces and cities nationwide, with the ultimate goal of exporting them
internationally, thereby creating employment opportunities for local women
union members, increase incomes, improve living standards, and promote genuine
gender equality across all sectors.
At
the event, the organisers presented commemorative flags to participating
consumer units and honoured 10 exemplary products. Several agreements for
cooperation were also signed among participating units.
Hoa Binh city is transitioning to modern and sustainable agriculture by leveraging its natural advantages to efficiently develop crop cultivation and animal husbandry. The city is applying scientific and technical advancements to farming, processing, and distribution while expanding export markets, significantly increasing production value and incomes for farmers.
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.
