Increasing value for typical rural industrial products

By developing typical rural industrial products, Ha Tinh both encourages on-site production and arouses the spirit of innovation in enterprises and cooperatives.

The driving force for business breakthroughs

In 2022, when Ha Tinh had just overcome the difficult period due to the COVID-19 pandemic, An Phat Science and Technology Company Limited (Viet Tien commune) received 1 billion VND in support from the National Industrial Promotion Program to invest in production lines and process herbal rice products. Thanks to that, the enterprise shifted from small-scale production to industrial production, bringing products to the shelves of many supermarkets and retail chains nationwide.

In 2024, Phu Sang Seafood Processing Service Cooperative (Thien Cam commune) also received 300 million VND from local industrial promotion funds, helping the unit expand its scale, diversify products, and move towards more sustainable development.

An Phat and Phu Sang are two of many enterprises and rural industrial production establishments that have received support from industrial promotion funds for production development. Statistics show that in the period of 2021 - 2025, the province implemented 56 industrial promotion projects with a total budget of more than 7.6 billion VND, of which 1.45 billion VND was from national industrial promotion and nearly 6.2 billion VND was from local industrial promotion. From this capital source, 25 rural industrial establishments directly benefited, while mobilizing more than 40 billion VND in counterpart capital from establishments to invest in new equipment and technology. Thanks to that, the quality and quantity of local rural industrial products increased.

Notably, Thang Thinh Construction and Trade Company Limited (Cam Xuyen commune), a mechanical enterprise, has boldly invested in two modern equipment worth more than 6 billion VND, including: Laser metal cutting machine and CNC hydraulic press, becoming the first unit in the province to apply this technology.

According to the business representative, although the support source is not large, it is an important boost to help businesses boldly invest. Thanks to that, productivity, accuracy and product quality have all increased, construction time has been shortened three times compared to before. This boost has helped businesses expand their market, participate in many large projects inside and outside the province, affirming the production capacity and new position of Ha Tinh industry in the supply chain.

Enhancing typical products, aiming for green production

In the picture of Ha Tinh's rural industry, many units have risen to become bright spots in terms of typical products. Phu Khuong Seafood Purchasing and Processing Cooperative (Ky Xuan Commune) is a typical example. From a small production household, the cooperative has gradually developed into a large-scale facility, twice in a row (2023 and 2025) being voted a typical rural industrial product at the national level with its traditional anchovy fish sauce product.

According to the cooperative representative, each time participating in the vote, the cooperative sets the goal of better quality and a more professional brand. Thanks to that, the cooperative has increasingly improved its production process, upgraded its products to industrialize the traditional fish sauce industry. Currently, the cooperative produces an average of 20,000 liters of fish sauce per month, is building a 5-star OCOP product at the provincial level and promoting export links.

From 2021 to now, Ha Tinh has organized 7 rounds of voting for typical rural industrial products at the provincial level, recognizing 203 provincial products, 58 regional products and 31 national products. In 2025 alone, there were 68 profiles of 51 participating establishments, with 38 products achieving 70 points or more, this is a number showing an increase in both scale and product quality.

According to the Selection Council, this year’s products have made significant progress in design, packaging, production processes, technology application, as well as the ability to meet domestic and foreign market demands. In addition to traditional fields, many new industries such as mechanics, food processing, and pharmaceuticals are also present, reflecting the diverse and modern transformation of rural industry.

Entering the 2026 - 2030 period, Ha Tinh focuses on three development directions: Innovation - digital transformation - green production. The province will prioritize supporting rural industrial models according to value chains, applying circular economy , enhancing trade promotion and training technical human resources.

Along with that, the Department of Industry and Trade will take advantage of national industrial promotion resources, combine socialized capital and national target programs to expand the scale of support, help businesses access advanced technology, develop brands, and build a more modern and sustainable rural industry.

With the right policies, the accompaniment of management agencies and the efforts of enterprises, Ha Tinh has been forming a new generation of typical rural industrial products that are more modern, greener and imbued with local identity. This is a solid foundation for the province to enter a new stage of development, aiming to become the industrial and service center of the North Central region in the future.

Ha Tinh has two products voted as outstanding national rural industrial products in 2025. This is not only a source of pride for production facilities, but also a driving force for local businesses and households to continue investing in technological innovation, expanding production scale and improving product quality.
