Export turnover of electronic products was
estimated at 208.12 million USD, expanding 101.01 percent against the same
period last year and accounting for 57.5 percent of total revenues.
Garment-textile raked in 106.23 million USD in Q1, up 52.28 percent and making
up 29.35 percent.
It is worthy of note that the export of farm
produce also saw recovery, but only made up 5 percent in the total exports and
did not align with the province’s potential. Hoa Binh’s products were mainly
shipped to traditional markets of the US, Europe, China, the Republic of Korea,
Japan, Russia and ASEAN nations.
Also in the quarter, the province imported
goods worth nearly 272.47 million USD, rising 72.56 percent compared to the
same period last year and hitting 24.84 percent of the year’s plan./.
After more than four years of implementing a project launched by the Hoa Binh Party Committee’s Standing Board on developing agriculture and promoting product consumption linked with building new-style rural areas for the 2021-2025 period, the province’s industry and trade sector has made significant strides, greatly contributing to local socio-economic development.
Luong Son district has identified 2025 as the year for the accelerated breakthrough to successfully implement the socio-economic development plan for the 5-year period from 2021 to 2025. The district has been focusing on executing the plans and trying to achieve a GRDP growth rate of approximately 15%.
Since the beginning of this year, under the direction of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the Sub-Department of Agricultural, Forestry, and Fishery Product Quality Management has strengthened the integration of the professional activities to promote and guide the organizations and individuals in the production and trading of agricultural, forestry, and fishery products to comply with the legal regulations regarding the use of chemicals, pesticides and veterinary medicines in crop cultivation, livestock farming and aquaculture. They also provide guidance to processing and manufacturing establishments on keeping the records to trace the product origins and using food additives from the approved list according to the regulations.
