In 2024, the firm achieved 317 billion VND (nearly 15 million USD) in revenue, reflecting annual growth driven by consistent order fulfillment and employee satisfaction.

Hoa Binh focuses on building strong OCOP brands for sustainable growth

Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months.

This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
