(HBO) – The Hoa Binh Business Association partnered with the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) and FAC Financial & Accounting Consultant Co., Ltd. to organize a training course on April 22 – 23 to update local enterprises on the Law on Support for Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).
Local enterprises are
provided with legal knowledge on taxation and updates on the Law on Support for
SMEs.
During the two-day course, enterprises
were provided with information on new taxation policies and instructed in how
to access the innovative startup fund. They were also guided in how to fix
errors in calculating value added, corporate income, personal income and
business licence taxes before preparing financial statements; and issues that
need attention during the settlement of taxes.
The second congress of the provincial
Business Association for the 2020 – 2025 term is set to promote its role in
supporting local firms in management personnel training, provision of legal
information; and increasing benefits for its members.
Last year, Hoa Binh climbed four places
to rank 44th out of 63 cities and provinces nationwide in Provincial
Competitiveness Index (PCI). The province has been applying the set of
competitiveness indexes and surveying local firms’ opinions about the local
business climate as part of the District and Department Competitiveness Index
(DDCI). The move is expected to create big breakthroughs in improving the province’s
business environment./.
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.

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.
