On the sideline of the event, the province’s working delegation organised an
exhibition to showcase typical agricultural products and 18 OCOP (One Commune
One Product) products, as well as the tourism potential and strengths of Hoa
Binh to the UK market. This activity created a great opportunity for local
products to directly reach consumers and helped enhance trade connections and
expand export markets for Hoa Binh.

Committee Nguyen Phi Long had a working session with over 150 enterprises and

Red grapefruit is a native crop of Tan Lac district, where the fertile soil and favourable climate create ideal conditions for its growth. With over 80% of the area being mountainous, at an altitude of 300-400 metres above sea level, red grapefruits here thrive on well-drained, fertile hillside soil. The region’s large temperature variation between day and night enhances the fruit's nutrient absorption. The local cultivation techniques also contribute to its uniqueness
