(HBO) - The urbanisation rate of Hoa Binh province has reached 28.69 percent so far, surpassing the target set at the Party Congress of the 2015-20 tenure. To further realise targets of the resolution at the 17th Congress for the 2020-2025 tenure, with a vision to 2025, the rate is expected to hit 38 percent.
Infrastructure in Hoa Binh city has been upgraded with
a view to turning it into a second-tier city.
The provincial Department of Construction has put
forth some tasks on the realisation of the province’s urbanisation rate by
2025, including a provincial urban development programme for the 2020-25, with
a vision to 2035 based on a planning of Hoa Binh province to 2050.
It also aims to upgrade Hoa Binh city, Luong Son
district, Mai Chau and Man Duc towns, among others.
Accordingly, the province needs to complete planning
for Hoa Binh city and districts to 2050 and the amendment of a joint plan on
the building of expanded urban areas stated in Resolution No.830. In the near
future, Hoa Binh city is due to set up new wards and carry out plans for
existing wards.
Other tasks include reviewing key investment in
technical infrastructure criteria and mobilising resources to upgrade the aforementioned
localities by 2025.
A number of solutions will be launched in a concerted
manner, focusing on urban planning quality, investment promotions, property
development, mechanism and policies, among others.
Local authorities also prioritise investment in urban
investment and arrange auctions on land use rights in a bid to raise fund for
urban development and transform agricultural land.
Relevant agencies have been asked to choose capable
units in devising quality plan for sustainable urban development, thereby
attracting investment to the sphere as well as the property market, and more./.
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.
