(HBO) – The Party Committee and people in Hoa Binh province have joined national efforts in the COVID-19 combat and gained significant achievements.

Local authorities have taken synchronous solutions
to safely and flexibly adapt to and effectively control the pandemic, ensuring
the public’s health and socio-economic activities at the same time.
Over the past month, departments, agencies and
districts have worked hard to complete the assigned tasks, contributing to
socio-economic recovery and development. By the end of January, State budget collection was
around 700 billion VND (30.68 million USD), a rise from the same period last
year. The disbursement of public investment fulfilled 96 percent of the target
set by the Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, reaching 3.37 trillion VND, up 20
percent year-on-year.
The provincial People’s Committee issued Directive
No. 03/CT-UBND dated January 18 on tasks and solutions to implement the 2022
socio-economic development plan and State budget estimate.
The committee reported that the COVID-19 pandemic is
taking place complicatedly in the province, with increases in both new and
severe cases.
There remain limitations in the management of
COVID-19 patients and those who have close contact with the patients, the
committee said, adding that many have yet to seriously observe the Health
Ministry’s "5K message” - khau trang
(facemask), khu khuan (disinfection), khoang cach (distance), khong tu tap (no
gathering) and khai bao y te (health declaration).
Secretary of the Party Committee Ngo Van Tuan said
2022 is the second year to implement resolutions adopted at all-level Party
Congresses, and called for efforts to fulfill targets set in the resolutions.
Local farmers and businesses have resumed their
operations after the nine-day Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday. Trade and tourism
activities have also come back to their normalcy. Meanwhile, officers, soldiers
and those serving the frontline of the pandemic combat are working hard to
protect health of the public.
To successfully complete the set targets and create breakthroughs,
it requires great efforts and resolve of each resident, as well as their
innovations./.
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.
