(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.
