(HBO) – Deputy Minister of Transport Nguyen Ngoc Dong recently signed Decision No.1708/QD-BGTVT, approving a project to repair and upgrade a bypass of National Road No.6 in Hoa Binh city of the province of the same name.
A route linking National Road
No.6 with Chi Lang road contributes to urban and services development in Hoa
Binh city.
The starting point of the
project is at Km73+500 of National Road No.6, which is linked with a project to
connect Hoa Binh province’s traffic and irrigational works with national
traffic infrastructure. Its ending point is at Km78+300 of National Road No.6,
which intersects with An Duong Vuong road in Thai Binh ward of Hoa Binh city.
The project spans 4.8 km in
length, excluding constructions in the previous Vietnam Road Asset Management
Project (VRAMP). It will be built based on the level-3 delta road standard with
four lanes, 20.5m in width and a designed speed of 80km per hour.
The project will run along with
National Road No.6, ensuring technical requirements. It is to be carried out
with an investment of more than 516 billion VND (22.67 million USD) sourced
from the State budget in the mid-term public investment plan for the 2021-25,
and projected to be completed by 2024.
The project managing board has
been assigned to work with relevant agencies to submit the project for the
Transport Ministry's approval. It must agree with the locality in terms of cost
reduction and land clearance in line with the standard TCVN4054-2005.
The project will contribute to
completing National Road No.6 in keeping with the planning and forming a ring
road outside Hoa Binh city, thus promoting urban space development, connection
between Hoa Binh province and Hanoi capital, and local socio-economic growth.
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.
