With the Mid-Autumn Festival nearly a month away, various kinds of mooncakes from popular brands like Kinh Do, Huu Nghi, and Hai Ha have been put on sale at the local shopping malls and business establishments.
High-end boxes of mooncakes are being sold at Hoang Son Plaza in Dong
Tien ward, Hoa Binh city.
Kinh Do has launched many lines of diet and
vegetarian mooncakes filled with a rich and nutty flavour, their prices ranging
from 45,000 VND (1.81 USD) to 410,000 VND. Meanwhile, Huu Nghi is selling its products at
58,000-96,000 VND each. At Winmart supermarket chain, handmade cake is
sold for 55,000 VND a piece.
Bui Thi Dung, owner of Phuong Nam shop in Dong
Tien ward, Hoa Binh city, said she has sold products of popular brands like
Kinh Do and Huu Nghi, most of which were sold well last season.
Consumers have been preferring handmade cakes in
recent years as it is easy to make order while the cakes’ sweetness could be
adjusted in accordance with buyers’ taste.
Besides, many mooncake sellers have offered
healthy choices this festive season to lure customers who are wary about
calorie intake. However, consumers need to stay prudent to choose prestigious
products since many producers do not know the origin of the ingredients.
Director of the provincial Department of Market
Management Nguyen Ba Thuc said the department has joined hands with competent
sides to keep close tabs on the market, tighten inspections to fight
origin-related frauds, and show a strong hand against any violations.
He added that the communications work has been
enhanced to raise public awareness of legal regulations, and asked individuals
and businesses to sign commitment against the sale of counterfeit, low-quality,
and smuggled goods, as well as those without clear origins.
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.
