(HBO) - Last year, 27 products were recognised by the Hoa Binh People’s Committee as meeting criteria of the One Commune, One Product (OCOP) programme. With a target of building brands for OCOP products, in 2020, Hoa Binh authorities have taken part in and arranged various trade promotions to introduce those products. Departments, sectors and localities also launched shops displaying and selling OCOP products.

joining the programme,
local businesses will enjoy optimal conditions to devise high quality products
raking in high economic value, seek partners, and expand markets.
Some popular OCOP
products include banana of viba banana cooperative; high quality orange of Cao
Phong farm produce 3T cooperative; fermented orange juice, orange flesh jam and
juice of Ha Phong cooperative; and whole poultry of Lac Thuy chicken
cooperative, among others.
This year, the provincial
Department of Agriculture and Rural Development teamed up with other
departments, sectors and localities to hold numerous promotions. They were the
northern region’s industrial and farm produce fair, the Agricultural and OCOP
Fair in the northern midland and mountainous region and the Cao Phong orange
week in 2020.
The events offered
chances for businesses to connect and share experience with consumers and
distributors towards the development of the OCOP programme, in a bid to help them
secure contracts of shipping products to consumers.
The Agricultural and
OCOP Fair in the northern midland and mountainous region and the Cao Phong
orange week in 2020 attracted a large number of visitors. Nguyen Thi Van, a
resident of Hanoi, said most of OCOP products are nice-looking and she can be
assured about their origin and quality.
In addition to holding
and participating in trade promotions, Hoa Binh authorities have paid attention
to the sales of OCOP products in other localities./.
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.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
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. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
