(HBO) – The provincial business association has met recently to review its operation in the first half and set out tasks for the remaining months of this year.
An overview of the
meeting held by the provincial business association.
It has been operating in Hoa Binh city and nine
districts, with more than 700 member enterprises that employ some 10,000
labourers with a stable income.
In the first six months of this year, the
association gathered and supported businesses, provided consultancy for the
provincial People’s Committee, and coordinated with competent departments,
agencies and localities to provide information for businesses and help them
remove obstacles, and create a more favourable business environment, contributing
to attracting more investments and improving the provincial competitiveness
index (PCI).
The enterprises have made positive contributions
to local socio-economic development. Notably, the association has effectively
implemented the 2021 Department and District Competitiveness Index (DDCI).
Thanks to the efforts, it has received support
from agencies and localities, as well as the active participation of household
businesses, companies and cooperatives.
The association raised proposals and showed its
strong support for the province’s policies to step up administrative reforms
and improve the local investment environment.
It and its members intensified communication
activities, and paid heed to the emulation and reward work, as well as cultural
and sport activities. They also focused on Party building and the development
of organisations in businesses, while joining social and charitable affairs.
Regarding orientations and tasks for the last
six months, the association will continue to work as a representative of
businesses, and a bridge between them and State agencies.
It will organise more training courses for
businesses, enhance cooperation in trade and investment promotion, play a more
active role in charitable activities, and push ahead with patriotic emulation
movements./.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.

A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
