Electricity industry is a specific economic sector in Hoa Binh. It is prone natural disasters. The disaster
prevention, search and rescue work is
considered as a key task of the Hoa Binh Power Company.
The firm has rolled out a disaster response scheme at
an early date, which was approved by the Northern Power Corporation. On the basis of the scheme, the firm’s branches were
assigned to swiftly solve incidents, thus ensuring safe power re-supply to
local residents.
The company has planned for the disaster
prevention, search and rescue work and assigned
its branches with specific works. It has also prepared backup equipment in
areas that enable replacement. For large-sized equipment, the company signed contracts
of equipment supply with capable units.
The power supply modes were also detailed,
including the basic and circular power supply ones, to ensure no power
interruption on the large scale.
Units have set up task force for
overcoming disaster consequences. Scenarios and plans to respond to natural disasters
are very close to the reality.
The Hoa Binh Power Company has actively inspected and reinforced infrastructure
facilities after disasters, helping minimize the damage.
Thanks to the careful preparations, the firm effectively overcame consequences caused
by floods for the electricity industry in 2017, especially for infrastructure
systems and power work.
Additionally, the company has also focused on implementing plans for setting up resettlement areas in areas vulnerable to natural
disasters. The firm has coordinated
with other localities’ authorities to build disaster prevention
schemes and detailed electricity supply plans so as to be able to supply
electricity as soon as possible after incidents./.
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.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
