province, helping it to overcome difficulties.
In recent years, enterprises in the province
have grown in both quantity and quality. Every year, the number of newly
established enterprises increases. By the end of 2020, the province had 3,770
enterprises with a total registered capital of more than 47 trillion VND (2.05
billion USD). Of which, there are 3,527 SMEs, accounting for over 97 percent of
the total number of enterprises with registered capital of nearly 31.5 trillion
VND.
In order to effectively implement the Law on
Support for SMEs, the provincial People's Committee issued Plan No.
158/KH-UBND, dated December 6, 2018 on supporting SMEs in the province. The
plan specifies solutions, mechanisms, preferential policies for the SMEs and
assigns specific tasks to departments, agencies, sectors and localities to help
develop and support SMEs.
With the participation of administrations at all
levels and sectors, it has created a driving force to help businesses thrive.
Accordingly, the provincial People's Committee has urged localities to promote
technological assistance by guiding enterprises to apply management systems,
productivity improvement tools. The province also provides supports for
enterprises to implement origin traceability systems, apply good agricultural
practices, and develop organic agricultural production.
According to data released by the Department of
Planning and Investment, by 2020, the total revenue of SMEs in the province is
estimated at 49.6 trillion VND (2.16 billion USD) with the average income of
employees is from 4.5 to 6.5 million VND per month./.
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.
