(HBO) - The People’s Committee of Hoa Binh province has issued Decision No.883/QD-UBND approving a project to concretise rural roads in the locality in the 2017-2020 period.
Accordingly, the province will use over
23.3 billion VND sourced from the local budget to concretise 13.69km of rural
roads in ten communes of Hoa Binh city and districts during the year.
Representatives
from the provincial Department of Transport and the Kim Boi District People's
Committee inspect the quality of rural roads in Kim Boi commune (Kim Boi
district).
Of the above-mentioned budget, 15 billion VND
are from land use fees, 5 billion VND from transport service fees in 2020, and
3.3 billion VND from the budgets of Hoa Binh city and districts in 2020.
Under the direction of the provincial People's
Committee, the budget has been allocated for the provincial Department of
Transport, Hoa Binh city and districts, to concretise rural transport works
that were registered for investment in 2020.
All roads in communes, villages, hamlets,
alleys, and in-field roads have been included in the project.
About 1,500km of rural roads in Hoa Binh are
expected to be concretised in the four-year period with a total investment of
1.55 trillion 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.
