(HBO) – Since the start of 2022, the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee has ordered relevant departments, sectors, and localities to mobilise resources for developing infrastructure at industrial parks (IPs) and industrial clusters; accelerate site clearance for the Yen Quang, Mong Hoa, Lac Thinh, and Nhuan Trach IPs; and step up administrative procedure reform and IT application so as to create favourable conditions for investors.
The GGS Vietnam Co. Ltd, based in the Da
River Left Bank Industrial Park in Hoa Binh city, has taken flexible moves to
cope with the pandemic and boost production and business activities, thus
ensuring stable jobs for employees.

104 valid projects, including 27 foreign direct investment projects worth
527.35 million USD and 77 domestic ones worth almost 11.1 trillion VND (485.5
million USD).
In the first quarter of 2022, businesses based
in local IPs earned 4.96 trillion VND in revenue, up 13 percent year on year
and equivalent to 25.3 percent of this year’s target. They created new jobs for
100 workers.
For 2022, the Hoa Binh IP management board
targets 10 new investment projects to be attracted, revenue of businesses there
hitting 19.6 trillion VND, and export value reaching 720 million USD./.

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.
