(HBO) – Hoa Binh province has a special geographical location as it is the northwestern gateway to Hanoi and linked with the capital city via Hoa Lac – Hoa Binh Road and National Highway 6. In the future, it will connect with northwestern provinces via a system of modern expressways. The synchronous investment in transport infrastructure and provincial leaders’ wisdom and dynamism will create a solid foundation for Hoa Binh to make breakthroughs in socio-economic development and investment attraction in the time to come.
Hoa Binh 3 Bridge, inaugurated at the year’s beginning, has helped
perfect the transport infrastructure network of Hoa Binh city.
On the stretch of the Da River in Hoa Binh city,
the contractor is racing against time to build Hoa Binh 2 Bridge, which is
expected to have its final sections joined by the end of 2020. Once put into
use, this bridge will, together with other bridges spanning the Da River, help
perfect local transport infrastructure, ease traffic congestion in the downtown
of Hoa Binh city, and become a landmark of the urban landscape here.
Based on the local transport planning for 2020,
with a vision to 2030, a number of facilities important to the province’s security-defence
and socio-economic development have been included in the medium-term public
investment plan for 2016 – 2020 and now under construction, such as the road
linking Ho Chi Minh Road with National Highways 12B and 1, upgrades to
Provincial Road 435, Hoa Binh 2 Bridge, the road linking National Highway 6
with Chi Lang Road, and Trang Bridge.
Thanks to the effective attraction and use of
domestic and foreign investment in transport infrastructure, between 2017 and
2019, Hoa Lac – Hoa Binh Road, built under the BOT format, and Hoa Binh 3
Bridge, funded with official development assistance (ODA) capital, were
completed, helping with the synchronous development of transport infrastructure
and the province’s connectivity with nearby localities.
In the time ahead, Hoa Binh – Moc Chau
Expressway will be built, marking a new stride in transport infrastructure
development and being an important facility serving local socio-economic
development.
Aside from arterial transport facilities, Hoa
Binh province has also paid attention to the rural transport network in recent
years. It has effectively carried out emulation movements to encourage the
local populace to engage in building rural roads and associated the development
of rural transport infrastructure with the implementation of the national
target programmes on new-style rural area building and sustainable poverty
reduction./.
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.
