(HBO) – Since the year’s beginning, the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee has ordered departments, relevant sectors, and localities to push ahead with measures to promote trading and services, improve goods quality, and combat smuggling, trade fraud, and counterfeits. The market stabilisation programme and the "Vietnamese people prioritise Vietnamese goods” campaign have also been carried out widely, winning over strong support from the public.
The Vincom centre in Hoa Binh city’s Dong Tien ward
has ensured sufficient and quality goods supply for local consumers.
In the first quarter of 2021, the province
recorded moderate growth in the flow of goods and services. A wide range of
goods have been sold at reasonable prices, especially food distributed via
supermarkets and trade centres, thus meeting local production and consumption
demand.
Total retail sales of goods and consumer service
revenue were estimated at 10.965 trillion VND (nearly 475.4 million USD), up
almost 18 percent year on year and equivalent to 24.66 percent of this year’s
target.
Meanwhile, the Q1 consumer price index (CPI)
increased by less than 1 percent from the same period last year./.
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.
