(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.
Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
