(HBO) - In 2018, Hoa Binh province ranked 48th out of the 63 cities and provinces nationwide in the ranking of the provincial competitiveness index, up four places compared to 2017. The land access index is one of the seven component indexes that contribute to higher ranking. Although there are improvements, firms still meet difficulties in land access.
The provincial People’s Committee is directing departments,
agencies and localities to step up administrative reform, help remove obstacles
faced by enterprises and investors in site clearance, access to land, and
improve business climate and the provincial competitiveness.

The provincial People’s Committee is urging agencies and
localities to seriously realise Decision No.02/QD-UBNDA dated January 2, 2019, promulgating
a plan to continue key measures to improve business climate and provincial
competitiveness for 2019 with orientations to 2021, review the weak component indexes
to devise specific measures.
The provincial People’s Committee also asked the Department
of Natural Resources and Environment to adopt measures to improve the land
access index and reform administrative procedures, cutting time for land use
licensing.
At the same time, it requested serious dealing with projects
without planning and land-use plans, substantially improving business
environment, enhancing open and thematic dialogues with firms to thoroughly
address their difficulties, maintain hotlines to promptly update and deal with
legitimate suggestions by companies and the public, resolutely discipline
officials and cadres who show a poor sense of responsibility and cause
difficulties in processing procedures involving firms and the public./.
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.
