(HBO) – The COVID-19 pandemic has been put under control in Vietnam and countries have gradually reopened their economies. Therefore, export-import activities have recovered.
Son Thuy JSC in Mong Hoa
commune (Hoa Binh city), specilising in woodwork production for export to China,
has contributed to raising Hoa Binh province’s export value.
The
provincial People’s Committee reported that Hoa Binh’s export revenue was
estimated at nearly 48.5 million USD in May, up 32.5 percent from the previous
month.
In
the first five months of this year, the figure stood at some 225 million USD, a
year-on-year decrease of 26.27 percent, fulfilling 21.79 percent of the yearly
target.
Goods
export revenue was close to 46 million USD last month, up 32.94 percent against
April, and 211.1 million USD in the January-May period.
Meanwhile,
the service sector pocketed 2.5 million USD in May, a month-on-month increase
of 25 percent, and 13.8 million USD in the five months.
Hoa
Binh’s import value was estimated at 44.5 million USD in May, up 34.85 percent
month-on-month. However, the figure dropped by 15.92 percent to only 198.1
million USD in the five months, completing 22.65 percent of the yearly
target./.
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.
