(HBO) – A ceremony was held at Mai Ha commune of Mai Chau district on March 28 to announce and hand over the trademark protection certificate to "Mai Ha wine” product of the district.
A leader of the Mai Chau district People’s Committee hands over Mai Ha wine trademark protection certificate to a representative of the People’s Committee of Mai Ha commune.
Mai Ha wine is exclusively produced in Mai Ha commune. The most special feature of Mai Ha wine is that the yeast is made by locals’ own method with many stages. Many kinds of precious ingredients and herbs are produced locally following the secrets of families passed on to their descendants to create a unique flavour that is not found in any wine made in other places.
Mai Ha wine product has been granted intellectual property protection certificate by the National Office of Intellectual Property.
The People’s Committee of Mai Chau has built a set of criteria for identifying distinctive quality of the product, along with trademark design, a set of regulations on management and development of Mai Ha wine trademark, and plans and strategies to promote and sell the product through distribution channels with identification and traceability system, in order to establish a mechanism to protect, manage and use the "Mai Ha wine” trademark, thus ensuring the quality control and trade promotion for the product.
Statistics showed that currently, 45 local households in Mai Ha engage in wine production, mostly in Chieng craft village where 30 producers are residing. Each month, the households produce nearly 2,000 litres of wine to sell in Hanoi and some neighbouring provinces. Notably, Mai Ha wine produced by some facilities has been recognised as a three-star OCOP (One Commune-One Produce) product.
At the ceremony, a representative from the Mai Chau People’s Committee handed over the Mai Ha wine trademark protection certificate to the People’s Committee of Mai Ha commune, and the trademark certificates to 30 wine production facilities in Chieng Ha village./.

The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
