(HBO) – The Hoa Binh Department of Industry and Trade and Department of Transport had a working session with the People’s Committee of Hoa Binh city on July 28 to seek measures to ensure the supply of goods to residents in the city in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

the working session.
Currently, Hoa Binh city has 14 traditional markets, five supermarkets and
three trade centres, along with 860 grocery shops. The city is home to three
industrial parks with more than 5,000 workers.
Amid the complicated developments of COVID-19, in order to ensure the supply of
necessities to local residents in any circumstance, the city People’s Committee
has issued plans and directions asking relevant agencies to prepare plans to
stock up on goods to meet the demands of locals and quarantine facilities. They
are requested to keep a close watch on the agricultural production situation
and the pandemic developments as well as the weather conditions to make sure
that the supply of major farm produce is available, while signing contracts on
goods supply with suppliers – Dinh Nhuan and Son An companies - to meet
people’s demands.
Hoa Binh city has built a scenario to ensure goods supply at five levels, and
another scenario to respond to particular COVID-19 circumstances.
At the working session, representatives from the city People’s Committee
proposed the provincial People’s Committee issue a plan of regulating and
orienting production to ensure sufficient supply of necessities. The provincial
People’s Committee was asked to direct competent agencies to design plans to
keep stable prices of necessary goods and regulate goods circulation after the
Government issues a list of goods banned from circulating to replace the list
of necessary goods allowed to circulate.
Provincial leaders asked Hoa Binh city to stand ready to implement scenarios if
necessary, while strengthening communications to calm local residents and
prevent them from stocking up on goods.
At the same time, the city was requested to immediately review and listing of
good supply sources for particular areas, while ensuring smooth process in
providing, transporting and circulating goods.

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.
