To improve the efficiency of agricultural production, localities in the province have reviewed and identified potential and advantageous products to develop plans to expand the area, improve productivity and product quality. Since then, many products have built brands, been evaluated and classified as provincial OCOP products... contributing to increasing value and gradually stabilizing output.

Thanh Hoa is considered a locality with great potential and room to develop high-quality rice production in the direction of large-scale commodities with a total planting area of about 233 thousand hectares per year. This is also an advantageous product of many localities such as Thieu Hoa, Ha Trung, Ngoc Lac, Nong Cong, Yen Dinh... From there, not only have concentrated, large-scale rice production areas been formed, but also have built rice brands that are favored by consumers such as Gia Mieu Ngoai Trang yellow sticky rice, Tien Son rice, Huong Que clean rice, Loc Thinh and Tam Phu Hung areca sticky rice... recognized as 3-star and 4-star OCOP products favored by the market.
In Ha Linh commune (Ha Trung), Tien Son areca nut sticky rice is considered an advantageous agricultural product with many outstanding advantages compared to conventional sticky rice varieties such as drought resistance, acidity resistance, good pest resistance, and adaptability to farming conditions in Ha Linh commune. However, previously, people only planted using traditional methods, with small scattered areas, leading to discolored husks, the risk of degeneration, and the loss of varieties. Therefore, in order to preserve and maintain the rice varieties of the homeland, Ha Linh commune has implemented land consolidation, plot exchange, and planning of concentrated, large-scale rice production areas; provided scientific and technical training for people to apply in the production process and supervise all stages, from planting and care according to VietGAP standards; and built a brand for Tien Son areca nut sticky rice products. Along with that, a high-yield, high-quality, and efficient rice intensive cultivation area with an area of 208 hectares was planned, with a yield of 70 - 80 quintals/ha; Convert 35 hectares of ineffective rice land to grow 3 crops, including 2 cucumber crops and 1 corn crop, for an average income of over 400 million VND/ha.
Ha Trung district is currently one of the localities focusing on building a brand for rice with high-quality rice products known to consumers, certified as OCOP products, such as: Tien Son Ha Linh sticky rice with areca nut, Gia Mieu Ngoai Trang golden flower sticky rice, Tien Son No. 3 rice.
It is known that most localities in the province have reviewed and identified advantageous agricultural products to develop plans to expand the area, improve productivity and product quality. Some products that many districts have chosen to develop are rice, fruit trees, pork, colored chickens, safe vegetables, shrimp, etc. Mr. Le Tien Dat, Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of the People's Committee of Nhu Xuan district, said: Identifying fruit trees as one of the objects of crop restructuring that brings high economic value and becomes a potential agricultural product, in recent years, the district has encouraged people to expand the area of fruit trees with nearly 1,400 hectares. In particular, priority is given to developing fruit trees in a concentrated, large-scale direction with a total area of about 400 hectares; especially prioritizing crops linked to production. At the same time, focus on transferring and guiding people to apply scientific and technical measures such as grafting to improve old trees, pruning branches to create canopy, investing in drip irrigation systems, wrapping fruit to limit pests and diseases, caring for fruit trees according to VietGAP and GlobalGAP standards, planting in different seasons to extend harvest time... The goal by 2025 is that the whole district will have at least 80% of fruit tree products that meet food hygiene and safety standards, with 30% of the area certified for production according to VietGAP standards. At the same time, research to enhance the brand and promote, find consumption markets for fruit tree products.
However, in order to develop agricultural products with sustainable advantages and potentials, create favorable conditions for building product brands, and bring high economic efficiency to people, localities need to review and select crops and livestock that are suitable for production conditions and market consumption capacity. From there, build models and support people to change the structure of crops and livestock. In addition, it is necessary to promote research, application, and transfer of science and technology, support people to apply high technology, large-scale concentrated production, build product brands... Create favorable conditions to attract businesses to invest in agriculture, link production with product consumption, thereby forming sustainable production chains.
