(HBO) – A delegation of the People’s Committee of Hoa Binh province on February 4 visited some businesses at the Luong Son Industrial Park in Luong Son district on the occasion of the Lunar New Year festival.
Bui Van Khanh, Chairman
of the provincial People’s Committee, and his entourage visit a showroom of
high-quality products of HNT VINA Co., Ltd.
The
Luong Son Industrial Park has attracted 40 investment projects, including 16
foreign-invested ones valued at 246.7 million USD and 24 domestic projects
worth over 3.56 trillion VND.
The
projects have generated jobs for more than 14,500 labourers, mainly locals,
each with an average monthly salary of 5 million VND. Last
year, most of the companies in the park completed their production and business
targets.
The
delegation visited Esquel Garment Manufacturing Vietnam-Hoa Binh Co., Ltd and
An Thinh Real Estate JSC where they were briefed on the businesses’
production-business performance in 2019, tasks for 2020 and prevention and
control of the acute respiratory disease caused by the new coronavirus (2019 - nCoV).
Bui
Van Khanh, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, noted with pleasure
the continuous development of these firms, contributing to local economic
growth, budget collection and job generation.
He
also lauded these enterprises’ efforts to ensure material and spiritual life of
labourers during the Lunar New Year (Tet) festival, as well as their prompt
response to the new virus.
Chinese
labourers who returned to work in three businesses in the park after spending
the Tet holiday in their home country have been isolated in line with
regulations.
On
this occasion, Khanh visited the staff of the provincial customs department
that was asked to seek practical solutions to help businesses in the locality
deal with difficulties in product supply and material import caused by impacts
of the epidemic./.
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.
