(HBO) – The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on October 23 had a working session with a delegation from Japan-based Meiko Group on the construction of an electronic circuit plant at the Da River Left Bank Industrial Park in Hoa Binh City.
Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, members of the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee, and leaders from competent departments and branches have a working session with Meiko Group.
Meiko Group will rent a total 9.2 hectares of land and infrastructure of Da Hop JSC to build the 200-million-USD plant.
The group stands out as one of the world’s top corporations that produce and assemble printed circuit boards (PCB) and provide electronics manufacturing service (EMS), with five factories in Japan, two in China, and many representative offices and subsidiaries worldwide.
In Vietnam, it has landed some 500 million USD in the construction of three electronic circuit manufacturing and PCB factories, creating jobs for more than 7,000 workers and contributing around 30 million USD annually to the state budget.
A Meiko representative recommended the province support the group with investment procedures and adjustment of project planning and investment scale, while securing stable power supply and providing other necessary conditions so that the construction of the plant can begin in March 2024.
At the working session, Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, and members of the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee, committed to accompanying the group and creating the best conditions for it and many other firms to invest in the province.
He ordered relevant departments and branches to focus on helping the investor complete procedures to carry out the project in line with schedule.
The management board of the local industrial parks should join hands with departments and sectors to handle the planning issue; ensure stable power, clean water and rational sewage system for Meiko; and remove bottlenecks during the construction process in a timely fashion, striving to kickstart the plant construction in March 2024.
Long also asked Meiko to set up a working group which will work with local authorities to carry out the project.
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.
