(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./.
According to data from the Hoa Binh Provincial Party Committee, the industrial production index for the first six months of 2025 is estimated to have increased by 20% compared to the same period last year. This marks the highest year-on-year growth rate for this period since 2020.
In the first six months of 2025, Hoa Binh province’s export turnover was estimated at 1.145 billion USD, marking an 18.11% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Import turnover was estimated at $ 804 million, a 17.15% increase, which helped the province maintain a positive trade balance.
The lives of the ethnic minority farmers in Tan Lac district have gradually improved thanks to the new directions in agricultural production. This is a testament to the collective strength fostered through the professional associations and groups implemented by various levels of the district’s Farmers’ Union.
With the motto the "product quality comes first,” after nearly one year of establishment and operation, Muong village’s Clean Food Agricultural and Commercial Cooperative, located in Cau Hamlet, Hung Son Commune (Kim Boi district), has launched reputable, high-quality agricultural products to the market that are well-received by consumers. The products such as Muong village’s pork sausage, salt-cured chicken, and salt-cured pork hocks have gradually carved out a place in the market and they are on the path to obtaining the OCOP certification.
In the past, the phrase "bumper harvest, rock-bottom prices" was a familiar refrain for Vietnamese farmers engaged in fragmented, small-scale agriculture. But today, a new spirit is emerging across rural areas of Hoa Binh province - one of collaboration, organisation, and collective economic models that provide a stable foundation for production.
Maintaining growing area codes and packing facility codes in accordance with regulations is a mandatory requirement for agricultural products to be eligible for export. Recently, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Hoa Binh province has intensified technical supervision of designated farming areas and packing facilities to safeguard the "green passport" that enables its products to access international markets.
