(HBO) - Given complicated developments of COVID-19 across the country, the Hoa Binh People's Committee has directed relevant sectors to strengthen the monitoring of supply and demand and commodity prices in order to keep market prices stable, especially the prices of essential goods, serving people's needs and preventing unreasonable price hikes.
Commercial centers and supermarkets have always ensured the supply of goods to serve consumers’ demand. (Photo taken at the Vincom Plaza shopping center in Hoa Binh City).
Accordingly, commercial activities in the province have maintained stable development. Total retail sales of goods and services in August were estimated at 3,630 billion VND (nearly 159.5 million USD), pushing the figure for the January-August period to 28,975 billion VND, up 15.8 percent on-year and fulfilling 65.16 percent of the yearly plan.
Also in August, the local consumer price index was estimated to increase slightly by 0.05 percent compared to the previous month. Currently, the provincial People's Committee is directing departments, branches and localities to focus on implementing solutions to ensure the balance of market supply and demand, and stocking up on commodity to maintain stable goods prices in the remaining months of the year, especially given unpredictable developments of the pandemic./.
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.
