Tu Ly is the first commune to be

irrigation systems have basically meet standards, 100 percent of local households
have regular and safe access to electricity; 92 percent of people in the working
age have regular jobs; over 70 percent of families meet cultural family criteria.
Three out of four schools in the commune have reached national standards. It
also has a cultural house and a stadium which have been newly built to serve
the commune's events.
Over the past years, locals
have actively shifted the agricultural structure towards plants and animals
with high economic value and applied science advances into production. Many
effective farming models have been duplicated, such as models of citrus and
safe vegetable growing. In addition, the commune has attached special
importance to the development of services and trade, so locals' incomes have improved
significantly. In 2018, the average per capita income reached 29 million VND
while the poverty rate of the commune reduced to 10.7 percent. Social welfare
was ensured, the material and spiritual life of local was improved, and the
political security and social order and safety stayed stable.

area in 2018 and awarded it with a welfare project worth 400 million VND.

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.
