The Youth Union of Hoa Binh city has launched a series of initiatives to foster entrepreneurship, providing members with opportunities to showcase their potential and contribute to local development.
Ngo Kim Quyen, residing in Dong Tien ward of Hoa Binh city, has launched a
model cultivating cordyceps mushrooms.
With over 6,200 members across 50 local
branches, the municipal Youth Union has been actively promoting digital skills
training and entrepreneurship support programmes since early 2024.
Last year, four start-up projects from the city
took part in the province’s 5thyouth innovation start-up competition,
with two projects – one focused on self-learning skills for students and adults
and another establishing a youth music hub – advancing to the second round.
To further equip young people with essential
skills, the union has partnered with businesses and organisations to provide
training on digital transformation, e-commerce, and financial management. Job
fairs have also been held to connect youth with potential employers, paving the
way for stable career development.
Beyond idea incubation, the city’s start-up
movement has encouraged local young people to invest in local economic growth.
Many have ventured into high-tech agriculture, eco-tourism, and traditional
handicrafts, creating jobs and boosting income for their communities.
Nguyen The Nham, Deputy Secretary of the
municipal Youth Union, said despite these positive outcomes, challenges remain,
including limited practical experience, difficulties in accessing funding, and
gaps in management skills. He shared the organisation’s plan to expand support
programmes, develop a sustainable start-up ecosystem, and strengthen
partnerships with specialised agencies to enhance training and consultancy for
young entrepreneurs.
Hoa Binh province’s economy posted an impressive Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) growth rate of 12.67% in the first quarter of 2025, representing a 12.76% year-on-year increase, the highest rate recorded since the beginning of the current tenure, according to the provincial Statistics Office. This robust growth reflects years of strategic groundwork and sets a strong foundation for the province’s annual growth target of over 10%.
With a focus on cash crop farming with science - technology application and brand building, Lac Thuy district is gradually increasing production value, improving people's life quality, and laying the foundation for sustainable socio-economic development.
In recent years, the economic development model "Hoa Binh Earthworm Farm” run by Mr. Bui Van Dang in Co Giua Hamlet, My Thanh Commune (Lac Son district) has not only brought stable economic value but it is also environmentally friendly, helping to protect and reduce pollution, contributing to the construction of a green and sustainable agriculture.
Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
