(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./.
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.
