(HBO) - The People’s Committee of Hoa Binh province has recently hosted a conference to discuss measures to improve the provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) in 2022.
Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Ngo Van Tuan speaks at the conference.
In his
speech at the event, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van
Khanh asked leaders of departments, sectors, and localities to make more
efforts to further improve the locality’s PCI in the coming time.
In 2021 and the first six months of 2022, the provincial authorities issued
many documents on measures to improve the business environment and
competitiveness of the locality.
Working groups have been also established to support investors in speeding up
the progress of investment projects.
A series of meetings have been regularly organised to seek solutions to remove
obstacles and difficulties facing businesses and investors, especially
production and business establishments affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the conference, experts said there remains a large room for Hoa Binh to
better its PCI, adding that the local authorities should pay more attention to
improving the Public Administration Reform (PAR) Index and the Provincial
Governance and Public Administration PerformanceIndex(PAPI), and
effectively apply the set of indicators to evaluate the competitiveness of departments,
sectors, People's Committees of districts and Hoa Binh city.
Hoa Binh should further promote digital transformation to handle issues related
to inclusive development, especially improving the quality of planning, they
added./.

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.
