(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./.
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.
