For the result, the board has taken various
solutions to utilise its strengths and deal with shortcomings and limitations
in implementing indicators, contributing to improving the local business
environment.
According to a report on the DCCI in Hoa Binh
province in 2022, among the eight indicators of the index, the board ranked
first in five and entered the top three for two others.
Le Quynh Chi, from Economica Vietnam, said local
departments and agencies, especially the board, made outstanding performance in
the indicators of public service and single window quality, unofficial
expenses, transparency, corporate support and market penetration.
She attributed the results to the units’ action
plans and programmes , as well as their attention to the quality of public
services, the personnel work and IT applications in administrative reform.
According to Phan Thi Thu Hang, head of the
board’s business management bureau, the board has proposed the provincial
People’s Committee publish all planning schemes of industrial parks on its
website, and regularlly provided updates on the province’s investment
attraction policy, and operations of the board and enterprises in industrial
zones.
To create a professional and friendly investment
environment, the board has also increased dialogues with enterprises, and
coordinated with departments and agencies in building an online public service
system connected with the national investment information system.
However, the board said, there are many
indicators that require coordination between departments and agencies such as
market penetration and business licence and support. Therefore, to raise the
provincial competitiveness index, the People’s Committee should instruct
relevant agencies to improve the capacity and speed of the public service
system./.
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.
