(HBO) – After the two-year implementation of the District and Department Competitiveness Index (DDCI), there have been changes in the mindset and actions of all-level authorities, agencies and businesses.
At the conference announcing results of the 2022 DDCI.
Yen Thuy district has taken specific measures to improve the local investment
and business environment, focusing on reforming administrative procedures and
consolidating the apparatus to better serve enterprises and people.
The district has assigned officials to accelerate administrative reform and
help firms and people remove difficulties in production and business. Last
year, it gained 85.54/100 points, ranking second in the DDCI for the second
time.
Vice Chairman of the district People’s Committee Bui Huyen said all of the
administrative procedures at both commune and district levels have been
upgraded regularly in line with regulations. Last year, Yen Thuy completed all
of the 17 set criteria.
According a survey which was conducted by Economica Vietnam and the provincial
business association randomly among 26 departments, agencies, districts and Hoa
Binh city, the management board of industrial parks in Hoa Binh province ranked
first with 80.04 points. It was followed by the provincial Social Security with
78.58 points, and the Department of Planning and Investment, 77.94 points.
The average DDCI of the departments and districts rose by 2.26 points to 77.8
points.
Vice Chairman of the provincial business association Ha Trung Nguyen said the
index has created a push for departments, districts and localities to fulfill
their tasks./.
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.
