Atsushi Sakate, executive vice president of Meiko, said the corporation
has invested in building three electronic circuit manufacturing and PCB
assembly plants in Vietnam with a total investment of up to 500 million USD.
Such investment has so far created over 7,000 jobs and contributes
approximately 30 million USD to the state budget annually, he elaborated.
Covering 9.2ha, the ongoing electronic circuits
production project in Hoa Binh is set to also work on handling pollution,
collecting and treating wastewater, emission gas, and solid waste, and
recycling and reusing waste materials. It is approved to operate foru 50 years.
Meiko has planned to construct office buildings
and workshops between Q4 of 2022 and Q4, 2023; purchase, transport, and install
machinery and equipment as well as recruit and train employees in Q1 and Q2
next year; and conduct trial production and subsequently commence full-scale
operation from the next Q2 onward. The estimated number of workers to be
employed is around 3,000 by 2030. The projected contribution to the state
budget will be approximately 200 billion VND (8.5 million USD) per year when
the factory reaches its full production capacity in 2030.
Meiko said it hopes to continue receiving
support from the Hoa Binh authorities to successfully implement the project.
Chu Van Thang, head of the management board of
the provincial industrial zones, stated that the project is significant as it
promotes economic restructuring, addresses employment issues, contributes to
the state budget, and increases export value. Over the recent times, the
province has directed relevant departments and agencies to create favourable
conditions for its implementation in line with the plan, with Meiko’s proposals
resolved, Thang said.
Quach Tat Lien, Vice Chairman of the Provincial
People's Committee, pledged that the province will always accompany Meiko in
such a process by facilitating investment procedures and land provision for the
company to build worker accommodations.
He expressed his desire for the corporation to
closely follow the province's investment direction and expedite the
construction progress./.
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.
