(HBO) - Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Hoa Binh province Bui Van Khanh and representatives of provincial departments and agencies have recently held a working session with the People’s Committee of Luong Son district on the implementation of a plan to improve its business environment and competitiveness capacity.
Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s
Committee Bui Van Khanh chaired the working session.
In
recent years, Luong Son district has directed administrations at all levels and
sectors to well implement administrative procedure reform, thus creating favourable
conditions for enterprises and local people to invest in business and
production.
A report delivered at the working session showed
that in 2016 and the first half of 2017, the local "one-stop-shop” unit
processed 636 administrative procedure documents of firms and investors. All of
the documents were handled on schedule, of which 44 percent were processed
ahead of schedule.
Administrative
procedures, investment and businesses policy regulations and planning
information were uploaded onto the district’s e-portal and publicly posted at
the "one-stop-shop” unit to help businesses, investors and local residents get
easy access to the necessary information.
In
2016, Luong Son district welcomed 33 projects and carried out site clearance
for 19 projects with the total compensation mounting up to 16.4 billion VND.
In the first six months of 2017, the district continued with site clearance
for the 19 projects and had completed the work for six projects by June 30 with
compensation of 12 billion VND. It also received eight new projects, of which seven
projects have seen site clearance implemented.
Concluding the working session, Vice Chairman of
the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh spoke highly of the district’s
efforts in improving its business environment and competitiveness capacity,
especially promptly handling administrative procedures for individuals and
organisations.
However,
the district should speed up site clearance so that the projects could be deployed
as scheduled, he stressed.
Regarding the task in
the coming time, Khanh asked Luong Son district
to soon put the Public Administration Centre in operation while continuing the acceleration
of administrative reform.
The district was also requested to make greater efforts to attract
more investment with careful selection and assessment, improve the quality of
human resources and mobilise investment to develop local socio-economic
infrastructure systems.
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.
