(HBO) – Over the recent past, the People’s Committee of Hoa Binh city has directed local agencies, wards and communes to strengthen measures to manage and exploit income sources to avoid losses in State budget collection.
A project to upgrade provincial Road 435 crossing Hoa Binh city and Cao
Phong district has received priority in public investment. Its progress is
being sped up.
In the first four months of this year, total State budget collection of the
city reached 153.8 billion VND (6.69 million USD), completing 28.74 percent of
the yearly target, including 20.46 billion VND from land use tax, equivalent to
9.1 percent of the yearly estimate. Income from taxes and fees was 133.3
billion VND, fulfilling 43.29 percent of the yearly target. Besides, expenditure from the city's budget
in the four months was 480.3 billion VND.
Currently, the municipal People’s Committee is managing 96 projects using
public capital with total investment of over 3.07 trillion VND. The city has
also been allocated 536.92 billion VND in 2021.
Specifically, the city is running two ODA projects with a combined capital of
312.52 billion VND, 12 projects using the provincial budget with a total
capital of 45.8 billion VND, of which disbursement by the end of April reached
over 1.3 billion VND, along with 82 projects using districts' budget with 2021
capital of 174.6 billion VND, of which 23.17 billion VND, or 13 percent, had
been disbursed by the end of April./.
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.
