(HBO) - In 2019, Hoa Binh province has continued to intensify investment promotion activities, enhance coordination in handling administrative procedures and implement measures to improve the business environment and remove difficulties for enterprises and investors.
The Midori Apparel
Vietnam Ltd Co (at Luong Son industrial park) reported effective production and
business results, contributing to the province’s export value in 2019.
During the year, the province approved investment
proposals and granted investment licences to 59 projects, including four
foreign direct investment (FDI) projects with total registered capital of 24.5
million USD. The remaining 55 projects are invested by domestic investors, with
total registered capital of 3,982 billion VND. The number of projects was down
by one project, while the amount of capital was equivalent to 39 percent
compared to the same period last year.
At the same time, the province withdrew the
licences of 42 projects (6 FDI and 36 domestic ones).
On aggregate, Hoa Binh is home to 567 projects,
comprising 38 FDI projects with total capital of 568 million USD and 529
domestic projects valued at around 68,982 billion VND./.
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.
