(HBO) – On October 3, 2017, the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No 17-NQ/TU on the development of the province’s momentum zone by 2020, with a vision to 2030. The zone covers Hoa Binh city, Luong Son district, and the northern part of Lac Thuy district. It is designated as an urban and industrial zone that gives an impulse to local socio-economic development and focuses on urban, industrial, trade, and service development to help fuel growth in neighbouring areas.
The R Technical Research Vietnam Co. Ltd, located in
the Da River Left Bank Industrial Park, is providing jobs for more than 700
workers with monthly per capita income of over 8 million VND (335 USD).
To carry out the resolution, all-level Party
committees and administrations have proactively integrated the resolution’s
objectives and targets into their annual action plans and programmes.
Given the momentum zone’s role and functions,
the provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board has issued guidelines for the
provincial People’s Committee to consider and approve the planning for the
development of Hoa Binh city by 2035, of Luong Son district by 2020 with a
vision to 2030, and of Lac Thuy district by 2040. The planning provides
orientations for urban development in the localities.
At the same time, special attention has been
paid to infrastructure development. Apart from optimising funding from the
State budget, Hoa Binh province has also mobilised capital from businesses,
people, and domestic and foreign organisations to build infrastructure in the
momentum zone, there by meeting development demand in the province in general
and the zone in particular.
In recent years, many important transport
facilities have been built and upgraded in the zone, including the road linking
Hoa Lac in Hanoi and Hoa Binh city, the Xuan Mai - Hoa Binh section of National
Highway 6, Hoa Binh 3 and Hoa Binh 2 bridges. A number of roads in local
districts and rural areas have also been given a facelift.
Resources have also been invested in developing
electricity, irrigation, water supply, and information technology
infrastructure to serve economic activities and people’s daily life.
The momentum zone accommodates the majority of
industrial parks and clusters in Hoa Binh province. It is currently home to
seven industrial parks, accounting for 87.5% of the total in the province. Ten
industrial clusters have also been established on a total area of 514.2ha,
making up 47.6% of total clusters. With the concentration of industrial parks
and clusters, the momentum zone houses 290 industrial and mining projects,
equivalent to 79% of such projects in the province.
In addition, the zone also boasts the biggest
number of business projects, enterprises, and organisations in Hoa Binh
province. Since 2018, it has seen the establishment of 2,092 companies with
combined capital of 43.72 trillion VND. A total of 3,139 enterprises are
operating in the zone, accounting for 71.3% of all firms in the province at
present.
During the period, the momentum zone has
recorded 177 new investment projects worth almost 70 trillion VND. The new
project number is equivalent to 52 - 87% of those in the province. The zone is
now home to 401 valid investment projects worth over 113 trillion VND,
representing 56.87% and 64.5% of the province’s respective figures.
So far, the zone has contributed to 84% of the
State budget revenue, 86.54% of the industrial production value, and 91.2% of
total export turnover of the province.
With those significant achievements, the
momentum zone has considerably contributed to common socio-economic development
in Hoa Binh province./.
According to data from the Hoa Binh Provincial Party Committee, the industrial production index for the first six months of 2025 is estimated to have increased by 20% compared to the same period last year. This marks the highest year-on-year growth rate for this period since 2020.
In the first six months of 2025, Hoa Binh province’s export turnover was estimated at 1.145 billion USD, marking an 18.11% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Import turnover was estimated at $ 804 million, a 17.15% increase, which helped the province maintain a positive trade balance.
The lives of the ethnic minority farmers in Tan Lac district have gradually improved thanks to the new directions in agricultural production. This is a testament to the collective strength fostered through the professional associations and groups implemented by various levels of the district’s Farmers’ Union.
With the motto the "product quality comes first,” after nearly one year of establishment and operation, Muong village’s Clean Food Agricultural and Commercial Cooperative, located in Cau Hamlet, Hung Son Commune (Kim Boi district), has launched reputable, high-quality agricultural products to the market that are well-received by consumers. The products such as Muong village’s pork sausage, salt-cured chicken, and salt-cured pork hocks have gradually carved out a place in the market and they are on the path to obtaining the OCOP certification.
In the past, the phrase "bumper harvest, rock-bottom prices" was a familiar refrain for Vietnamese farmers engaged in fragmented, small-scale agriculture. But today, a new spirit is emerging across rural areas of Hoa Binh province - one of collaboration, organisation, and collective economic models that provide a stable foundation for production.
Maintaining growing area codes and packing facility codes in accordance with regulations is a mandatory requirement for agricultural products to be eligible for export. Recently, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Hoa Binh province has intensified technical supervision of designated farming areas and packing facilities to safeguard the "green passport" that enables its products to access international markets.
