(HBO) - The resolution from the 17th Provincial Party Congress sets the goal of industrial development becoming the driving force of the local economy, with high, sustainable, and effective growth promoting economic growth and realising social goals.

Over recent time, the province
has focused on developing infrastructure and preparing a clean land fund to
attract investment in industrial development. In the photo: Hai Hien Wood Processing

Hoa Binh province has
set a target that, by 2025, industry and construction will account for 54
percent of its economic structure, while occupancy rates at industrial parks (IPs)
will be over 80 percent and the land area of IPs and industrial clusters will account
for about 1 percent of the province’s natural land area.
To realise this
goal, Hoa Binh is focusing on infrastructure development and preparing a clean
land fund to attract investment in industrial development.
According to the
industrial development plan, the province has eight IPs on a total area of
1,507.43 ha. Four of the eight IPs, including Luong Son, Yen Quang, and Nhuan
Trach IPs, have infrastructure investors.
However, the
province is facing many difficulties in site clearance for industrial
infrastructure.
On average, each
year, the province clears 32.2 hectares of land in IPs, which falls short of demand
for clean land to attract investment.
Site clearance is
slow due to changes in local regulations on compensation, support, and
resettlement, with a long time also needed for completing procedures.
The province will
focus this year on mobilising resources, continuing to invest in and develop
infrastructure at IPs and industrial clusters.
It will also speed
up site clearance at Yen Quang, Mong Hoa, Lac Thinh, and Nhuan Trach IPs.
More effort will
be made to strengthen coordination and support investors in completing
infrastructure at already-capitalised and operating IPs, overcome delays in
site clearance to promote investment attraction, and focus on attracting
capable secondary investors.
Land management will
be tightened immediately after an IP is approved or adjusted, in order to quickly
identify, prevent, and strictly handle any illegal exploitation and use of land
resources.
Projects using
land for improper purposes will be strictly dealt with, as will those not
putting or being slow in putting land into use under investment decisions.
Regular inspections will be made to promptly detect and handle violations in
site compensation and resettlement support./.
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.
