(HBO) – Hoa Binh province has invested much in industrial parks and clusters in recent years to attract more domestic and foreign investment. It is an important orientation in the province’s economic development strategy. Thanks to such effort, its industrial production reached more than 27.5 trillion VND (1.21 billion USD) last year, up 17.22 percent from the same period last year and 2.5 percent higher than the yearly target.
In the Da River Left-Bank Industrial Park,
more than 650 workers of the R Vietnam Technical Research Co., Ltd were still
busy making lens for export orders on the threshold of the New Year. Last year,
the company produced about 11 million product items and its export turnover reached
nearly 14.5 million USD, a year-on-year increase of 30 percent, despite
difficulties from fluctuations in the global economy.
Aside from the strong growth in export, the
firm has provided jobs for hundreds of locals and given them stable incomes
which averaged 6.5 million VND per person per month, said Nguyen Long, a
manager of the company.

According the local authority’s report, the
province’s industrial production hit over 27.5 trillion VND in 2017, up 17.22
percent against the same period of the previous year. Its industrial production
index rose by 9.7 percent from 2016. Local industrial and handicraft firms remained
stable production with continued growth of key products, said the province’s
Department of Industry and Trade.

(22.45 percent), electronic products (26 percent), structural steel (18.92
percent), medium-density fibreboard (37.12 percent).
Also, export revenue experienced sound expansion thanks to local efforts to
diversify export markets while maintaining traditional ones like the US, the
EU, Russia, ASEAN, Japan, China and the Republic of Korea.
The province exported 505 million USD worth of products in 2017, a year-on-year
surge of 36.19 percent and 8.6 percent higher than the set plan. Meanwhile, it
spent more than 413.8 million USD on imports, up 28.8 percent from the previous
year and surpassing the set target by 5.57 percent.
A slew of measures have been deployed to effectively carry out the industrial
development project during 2016-2020 with vision towards 2030 to set up
large-scale production areas.
In July 2017, the provincial People’s Committee issued Plan No.91 on
implementing the industrial development project in 2016-2020 with vision
towards 2025. Accordingly, the province eyes an average growth of 10.5 percent
in added value of the industrial sector and a 15 percent growth in industrial
production value. Meanwhile, it expects that industry and construction will
make up 57.8 percent of its economy.
Infrastructure is key to develop local industry. The province will focus
investment on completing infrastructure in five industrial parks: Luong Son, Da
River Left-Bank, Mong Hoa, Lac Thinh and Yen Quang.
It will invest in developing basic infrastructure in six industrial clusters:
Chieng Chau, Khoang U, Phu Thanh II, Hoa Son, Dong Tam and Dong Lai-Thanh

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
