(HBO) – Many workers have returned to local industrial parks in the northern province of Hoa Binh after enjoying a week-long Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday, making contributions to helping their companies realise the set production and business targets for the whole year 2020.
In
2019, besides robust business results, Midori Apparel Vietnam Co., Ltd (Luong
Son Industrial Park) worked to ensure social welfares for its labourers.
According
to the province’s management board of industrial parks, the province is housing
eight industrial parks, each spanning from 77-282 hectares and locating along
National Road No.6, Lang – Hoa Lac – Hoa Binh city road, and Ho Chi Minh road.
As of the end of 2019, the industrial parks had 95 valid projects, including 24
foreign direct investment projects with total registered capital of 499.75
million USD, and 75 domestic projects valued more than 7.27 trillion VND (312.9
million USD).
Most of the local firms have run smoothly, with 50 operational
projects that create jobs for 19,441 labourers.
Last year, enterprises at local industrial parks seen better revenues, export
value, and higher contributions to the state budget, as well as generate more
jobs as compared to 2018. They have observed regulations on planning,
construction, environmental protection and business and production.
Thanks to local efforts to improve the business climate and remove bottlenecks
for local firms, industrial parks in the province lured 15 new projects in
2019, equivalent to 187.5 percent of the yearly plan. Firms at the industrial parks
exported 633.17 million USD worth of products, contributed 180 billion VND to
the state budget, and created new jobs for 1,583 labourers, all surpassing the
set goals.
In 2019, the province gained nearly 37.4 trillion VND from industrial and
handicraft production, a year-on-year surge of 15 percent. Meanwhile, its export
revenue rose 24.48 percent to 791.9
million USD./.
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.
