2/4/2025 - 4:05:12 PM

Hoa Binh province is prioritising rural transportation infrastructure to improve mobility, facilitate trade, and boost socio-economic development.

In Kim Lap commune, formed from the merger of three communes, improved roads were key to meeting new-style rural development standards.

By the end of 2024, Kim Lap fulfilled all 19 new-style rural development criteria, including transportation, with 1.3 km of asphalted roads, over 25 km of concreted village roads (96% completed), and 17 km of paved alleyways, ensuring year-round accessibility.

Across the province, 96 out of 129 communes have achieved transportation-related new-style rural development benchmarks.

In 2024, Hoa Binh mobilised over 1.34 trillion VND (53.5 million USD) to pave or upgrade 310 km of rural roads. Local authorities also encouraged community involvement, including land donations for road construction.

This investment has created a robust road network, including over 540 km of provincial roads, 711 km of district roads, and 8,870 km of rural roads, more than half featuring concrete or asphalt. The enhanced infrastructure ensures reliable transport, even in remote areas, and supports economic activities.

In the coming time, Hoa Binh plans to advance infrastructure projects under its 2021–2025 public investment plan, focusing on key economic zones and high-traffic routes, while integrating rural transportation development into national programmes to sustain growth and improve living standards.

Hoa Binh revives local heritage through OCOP programme

OCOP Hoa Binh: Awakening local excellence - Journey from tradition to market

From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.

"Behind every One Commune One Product (OCOP)-starred product lies a quietly operating support system: technical staff, experts, trade fairs, and e-commerce platforms. OCOP cannot go far without forward-looking policy support," affirmed Nguyen Huy Nhuan, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Hoa Binh province.
