(HBO) – The Hoa Binh provincial Department of Industry and Trade held a working session with People’s Committee of Da Bac district on November 12 morning to discuss the progress of building local infrastructure in industrial park (IP) cluster in the locality.

The Department of Industry and Trade inspects
investment in IP cluster infrastructure in Da Bac district.
The Da Bac IP complex
covers an area of 27.72 ha, with the goal of becoming a multi-sectoral
industrial and handicraft cluster. Major industries include steel billets,
apparel, textile, animal feed processing, handicraft production, forestry
processing, construction material areas. The total investment is estimated at
230 billion VND. At present, the new IP cluster investment is only in the stage
of planning. Site clearance has yet to be finished while technical
infrastructure construction also has yet to be started.
Participants at the event called for embarking on investment procedures, paying
compensation for site clearance, devising adjustments to detailed planning and
construction design.
Via inspection, leader of the department emphasised that it is a key project to
generate jobs to local workers in line with the district’s socio-economic
development planning and orientations. In the near future, it is necessary to
speed up construction and accelerate compensation and site clearance. Local
specialised agencies need to help Phuc Thanh urban infrastructure development
JSC complete legal procedures, actively collect data to determine specific land
price adjustment coefficient for calculation of compensation, outline a plan
for land acquisition, investigation and survey, striving to shorten time for
appraisal but ensuring it is in accordance with regulations.
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.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
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.
