(HBO) - The success in COVID-19 containment in Hoa Binh has helped the province’s industrial production increase at a faster pace than the national average. However, many businesses and production establishments are still facing many difficulties.
Taking proactive moves, the R Technical Research Vietnam Co. Ltd, based in the Da River Left Bank Industrial Park, has maintained stable operations, thus contributing to the province’s industrial production and export value.
In August, the index of industrial production in Hoa Binh province grew by some 6.22 percent month on month but declined 10.56 percent year on year. In particular, the mining industry contracted by about 1.51 percent while the processing - manufacturing industry rose 13.82 percent; the production and distribution of electricity, fuel gas, hot water, steam, and air conditioners up 1.67 percent; water supply, waste and wastewater management and treatment up 16.32 percent.
To boost industrial development, the provincial People’s Committee has ordered district-level administrations to thoroughly grasp the content about industrial and trade development in the resolutions of the 13th National Party Congress and the 17th provincial Party Congress. Local authorities were also asked to speed up the construction of infrastructure at local industrial parks and clusters to attract more investment./.
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.
