(HBO) – In the recent past, Luong Son district has obtained a number of major achievements in investment attraction and socio-economic development. The number of investment projects in the district is accounting for more than 20 percent of the total in Hoa Binh province. Notably, foreign direct investment (FDI) projects here make up nearly half of those in the whole province. Many large and potential investors have put their trust in Luong Son.
The
Lvory villas & resort project in Lam Son commune features many high-end and
unique villas and resorts that are in harmony with nature.
Capitalising
on its advantages, including staying adjacent to Hanoi and being traversed by
many arterial roads, Luong Son has proactively considered and proposed special
mechanisms and policies to competent agencies so as to create an open and
transparent environment for investors to seek investment opportunities and
carry out production and business activities. Many urban infrastructure and
housing projects have been carried out, helping give a facelift to the
district.
The
majority of industrial projects operate in construction material, apparel, and
electronic component manufacturing. The Luong Son Industrial Park has been
fully occupied, providing jobs for more than 15,000 people, raising the export
value, and considerably contributing to the State budget. Meanwhile, the Nam
Luong Son and Nhuan Trach industrial parks have been working hard to attract
investors and develop technical infrastructure.
Many industrial
clusters have also been planned in the district such as the one covering 74.5ha
in Rut hamlet of Tan Vinh commune, and the 70ha Hoa Son industrial cluster.
So far,
Luong Son has attracted 198 investment projects, comprising 24 FDI ones with
registered capital totalling 307,018 USD and 174 domestic projects worth almost
23.26 trillion VND (1 billion USD). Numerous large investors have come to pour
trillions of VND into projects here, including the Hoang Long Hoa Binh cement
factory worth 4.98 trillion VND in Cao Duong commune.
Despite
impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the district has attracted seven projects
with registered capital of 224.28 billion VND so far this year. The enhancement
of investment attraction has helped many communes with low starting points
become role models in restructuring the economy, improving the material and
spiritual life for people, and upgrading infrastructure.
Chairman of
the district People’s Committee Nguyen Van Danh said Luong Son views boosting
investment attraction as a focal task for the time ahead. It prioritises
businesses with modern technology and those investing in industry, high-tech
farming, infrastructure of industrial parks and clusters, and tourism services.
To attract
more investment, authorities will step up administrative reforms, create the
best possible administrative procedures for investors, and promote site
clearance and resettlement in the areas covered by investment projects. In
addition, they will pay due attention to digital transformation, smart city
building, and supply online public services at Level 3 and 4, thereby obtaining
higher satisfaction from people and enterprises, he added./.
Maximizing local potential and advantages, Yen Tri commune in Yen Thuy district is actively promoting the cultivation of medicinal herbs and turning medicinal herbs into One Commune - One Product (OCOP) products.
Situated at the gateway to the Northwest, Hoa Binh province has a population of over 900,000, including about 540,000 of working age. It is home to 6,000 businesses and production facilities, providing employment for over 100,000 workers. The remaining workforce is engaged in informal jobs, works in enterprises outside the province, or contributes to agro-forestry-fisheries. Additionally, around 3,000 workers are employed abroad.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee has issued Decision No. 2767/QD-UBND announcing the rankings of departments, agencies, districts and Hoa Binh city in the Public Administration Reform Index (PAR) and the Satisfaction Index of Public Administration Services (SIPAS) in 2024.
The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
In 2024, the total state budget revenue of Hoa Binh Province is estimated at approximately VND 6,930 billion, achieving 183% of the Government’s target, 126% of the target assigned by the Provincial People's Council, and 145% compared to the same period last year.
In 2024, Hoa Binh province has shown signs of improvement in attracting investment and developing enterprises.
