(HBO) – Lac Thuy district has had 10 products meeting provincial standards of the "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme, including two rated four stars and eight rated three stars. In the recent past, aside from improving product quality, it has boosted selling local OCOP products online to reach more buyers.
The Boi River tea is one of the six OCOP products of Lac Thuy district sold on the postmart.vn platform.
So far, six OCOP products of Lac Thuy have been sold on the e-commerce platform of postmart.vn, namely the Boi River tea of the Song Boi Two-Member Co. Ltd, the Chung Huong orange of the Chuong Huong garden in Phu Nghia commune, the Dong Bong custard apple of the Dong Tam agricultural service cooperative, the red-flesh dragon fruit of the Thanh Ha agricultural service cooperative, and the Ngoc Han chicken egg of the Nam Son cooperative.
Selling OCOP products on e-commerce websites is a move to help local enterprises, cooperatives, and farmers to step up advertising, boost sale, seek partners, and reduce dependence on intermediary traders. Meanwhile, consumers can purchase original specialities with high quality and reasonable prices.
In the time ahead, Lac Thuy district will continue coordinating with the Vietnam Post branch in Hoa Binh province to put up the four remaining OCOP products for sale on postmart.vn, namely the Khoan Du bee honey of the Khoan Du beekeeping cooperative, the honeydew melon of the Vietnam Organic Farm JSC, the Lac Thuy orange of the ThuLand garden in Phu Thanh commune, and the orange of the Vu Duy Tan garden in Thong Nhat commune./.
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.
