A national land database is due for completion in 2020 and information on land from the smallest administrative unit to the central level will be available.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE)
said at a recent conference that the database will be accessible to the public.
The digitisation of land records from paper records is part
of Vietnam’s e-government programme, signifying the Vietnamese Government’s
latest attempts to catch up with the digital age and the advent of the fourth
industrial revolution.
The land database is not just an archive of information, it
will also serve as a crucial tool for State management and satisfy the demands
for access to land information, as well as the land policies of all
organisations, businesses and the public in a transparent, objective, and
convenient manner.

The land database will also serve to ensure that efforts to
reform administrative procedures by various ministries and State agencies –
especially between the environment ministry, tax, and customs bureaus – will be
conducted in a coordinated manner.
Therefore, aside from
consolidating land-related policies, legal frameworks, and planning and
financial tools, the modernisation of the cadastral document system and
creation of the land database and national land information system are top
priorities on the ministry’s upcoming agenda, said MONRE Minister Tran Hong Ha.

Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.

A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
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.
