(HBO) – Da Hop joint Stock Company has agreed to provide 1.5 hectares of land for Diostech Co., Ltd from the Republic of Korea to build a factory on manufacturing electronic components for digital cameras and cell phones at Da River Left-Bank Industrial Zone in Hoa Binh city.
A land leasing agreement was signed by the two companies’ representatives in July.
Workers of GGS Co., Ltd, in Da River Left-Bank Industrial Zone, work at a garment product for export production chain.
The facility has an investment of 20 million USD, expected to create jobs for hundreds of local residents and giving a bright outlook for the province’s industrial development.
According to Diostech, the firm has operated a factory in Vinh Phuc and selected Da River Left-Bank Industrial Zone to locate the new facility as it has developed infrastructure, reasonable lease rates together with competitive source of skilled workers in comparison with other cities and provinces.
The industrial park is home to many foreign enterprises, including Japan’s producer of lenticular lens Sanko and GGS from the Republic of Korea.
Meanwhile, Luong Son Industrial Park has more than 10,000 workers with an occupancy rate reaching 90 percent.
Luong Son district now has three industrial zones, including 83-ha Luong Son, 200-ha Nam Luong Son and 213-ha Nhuan Trach industrial parks.
The Nam Luong Son IP has cement plants Trung Son and Vinh Son and a vocational training school with an occupancy rate of 48 percent.
The district has lured 17 foreign direct investment projects so far with a total investment of more than 280,500 USD, accounting for 53 percent of the province’s FDI. Some 478 domestic companies have been established in the province, registering a total capital of 9.18 trillion VND, making up 20 percent of the province’s firms.
Industrial Production Index of Hoa Binh increased 9.69 percent year on year in the first half of 2017, said Director of the provincial Department of Industry and Trade Vu Mai Ho. Industrial production earned the province nearly 13.47 trillion VND, up 15.91 percent from the same period last year and fulfilling 50.16 percent of the yearly target. Processing industry has seen the biggest growth during the period due to stable prices of input materials.

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.
