The fair held under the theme "Hoa Binh integrates and

recognised by the One Commune-One Product (OCOP) programme.
The event will include a series of activities including a ceremony to announce
selected typical rural products at the provincial level in 2024; the launch of
a handbook on rules of origin for some agricultural, forestry and fishery
products of Vietnam in accordance with the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement
(EVFTA).
To prepare for the fair, the provincial Department of Industry and Trade sent
invitations to the Departments of Industry and Trade and relevant agencies in
28 provinces and cities in the northern region as well as People's Committees
of districts and cities in the province. So far, 74 units from 17 provinces and
cities have registered to participate.
Concluding the meeting, Liem requested members of the organising committee to
proactively coordinate with each other, and continue to call on registrations to
the fair.
The official also emphasised the need to control product
quality, origins and ensure food safety, security and order, and environmental
sanitation during the fair.
In Lac Thuy district, communes have been succeeded in promoting their One Commune-One Product (OCOP) products while others are still struggling to position their typical farming products in market. Some communes in the district still fail to have their products met OCOP programme’s requirements, while others have seen their certifications expired.
The inspectorate agency of Hoa Binh province has issued Official Dispatch No. 1090/TTr-PCTN to provincial departments, agencies, localities, business associations, enterprises, and investors regarding measures to improve informal component indexes of the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI).
Hoa Binh is taking concrete steps to improve its investment environment, with a strong focus on supporting businesses, settling obstacles for strategic investors, and creating opportunities for robust development in the coming years.
Under the blazing early summer sun, the construction site of Nhuan Trach Industrial Park (IP) in Luong Son district is abuzz with activities from dawn to dusk, a testament to the determination of the investor to meet their construction targets on schedule.
