(HBO) – The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee targeted 1.437 billion USD in exports and 1.097 billion USD in imports this year. Since the start of 2022, the administration has ordered relevant departments, sectors, and localities to jointly work to tackle difficulties and facilitate trading activities.
A garment factory in Tan Lac district has provided jobs for
about 200 workers and considerably contributed to the province’s export value.
Hoa Binh has been working to fully capitalise on
free trade agreements and expand export markets so as to boost overseas
shipments, especially the commodities with high added value. Efforts are also
being made to attract investment to developing logistics services and
infrastructure so as to improve export and import efficiency. In addition, the province
is stepping up the implementation of a project on developing export markets for
local key agricultural products for 2021 - 2025, with a vision to 2030.
In February, Hoa Binh recorded about 112.91
million USD in exports and 91.24 million USD in imports, respectively rising
2.13 percent and 2.9 percent month on month. That raised the respective
two-month figures to 223.47 million USD and 179.92 million USD, up 15.83
percent and 15.34 percent year on year, and equivalent to 15.55 percent and
16.4 percent of this year’s respective targets./.
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.
