(HBO) – Hoa Binh’s industrial production exceeded 3.61 trillion VND (153.33 million USD) in March, a year-on-year increase of 21.6 percent. The figure lifted the total value in the first quarter of this year to over 10.55 trillion VND, up 10.6 percent from the same period last year.
Ho Guom garment firm, located in Phong Phu commune, Tan Lac district,
has maintained stable production, providing jobs for hundreds of local workers.
The provincial People’s Committee said the positive growth was attributable to
the fact that all districts have effectively implemented local industry and
handicraft industry development plan.
Manufacturing and processing remained the industrial sector’s key driver with
significant growth, with increases ranging from 24 – 38 percent recorded in the
production of beverage, steel and cement.
However, the People’s Committee warned that the local industry sector has
relied heavily on production of Hoa Binh Hydropower plant while power blackout
still occurs, affecting production-business activities and people's life./.
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.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
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.
