(HBO) – In the past time, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a slowdown in industry - craft production across Hoa Binh city, with many firms working in indifferent manner.
The
T&T company’s workshop for processing agricultural by-products (Yen Mong
commune, Hoa Binh city) maintains production to ensure jobs for workers.
The local industry-craft production
value was estimated at 378.4 billion VND (16.2 million USD) in April, up 8.8
percent year on year and bringing the accumulated number for the first four
months to over 2.1 trillion VND.
The city always creates favorable
conditions to attract enterprises investing in its three industrial parks – in
the left bank of the Da river, and in Mong Hoa and Yen Quang communes. It is
also working to accelerate the progress of constructing infrastructure at the
Yen Mong, Cham Mat - Dan Chu, and Trung Muong industrial clusters.
Also in April, the city’s retail
sales and services revenue reached more than 1.3 trillion VND, a year-on-year increase
of 5.2 percent. Of the total, individual business households contributed 640.5
billion VND, while enterprises accounted for the remainder./.
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.
