along with representatives of nearly 1,000 businesses in Hoa Binh.
Nguyen Cao Son, President of Hoa Binh’s association of businesses,
reported that over the past years, both quantity and quality of enterprises and
entrepreneurs in the province have increased rapidly, and business operation
has changed in line with the locality’s economic structure transformation,
tilting towards industry and services.

The association has also successfully performed external
activities and held working sessions with major firms and groups to introduce
investment potential of Hoa Binh in tourism and agriculture. Additionally, it
has assisted enterprises in the locality to raise administration capacity for
sustainable production and business, and launched many emulation movements.
The association has teamed up with departments and agencies in Hoa
Binh to organise dialogues with businesses to help them overcome difficulties
in production and business. The enterprises generate tens of trillions of Vietnam
dong, pay trillions of Vietnam dong to the State budget each year and offer
jobs to thousands of labourers, contributing to the local socio-economic
structure shift.
On this occasion, the association called on the businesses to
raise a fund of nearly 2.5 billion VND in support of poor students with
outstanding academic achievements./.
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.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
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.
