(HBO) – The Industrial Parks Management Board (IPMB) of the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh said 2017 witnessed the stable development of businesses in IPs. Many of them are expected to surpass their set targets in terms of turnover, export value, job generation, law enforcement and contributions to transforming the local economy.

Esquel Vietnam Company Co. Ltd. is a typical example in terms of job generation and care for labourers. Staring operation in 2013, the company has focused on upgrading technologies, applying environmentally-friendly production methods and expanding production scale. The company has maintained its stable development and generated jobs for workers. In 2017, Esquel Vietnam has recorded impressive growth by churning out an additional 50,000 products, up 30 percent compared with the previous year. The number of its partners also increased from 15 to 19. Therefore, the company’s revenue also rose by 30 percent. In 2017, it has employed 1,000 workers, raising its total number of labourers to more than 4,000.

Doosung Tech Vietnam Co. Ltd., a whollly Korean-invested company which produces and assembles electronic components for Samsung, has a total investment capital of about 200 billion VND. The company’s orders have remained stable and its workforce rose from 600 to 1,700. By the end of November, Doosung Tech Vietnam had raked in 115 million USD in revenue, over-fulfilling its set target of 98.9 million USD, up 5 percent year-on-year. The provincial Department of Labours, War Invalids and Social Affairs has suggested the IPMB present an award to Doosung Tech Vietnam for its successful implementation of legal regulations towards labourers.

Almine Vietnam Company’s turnover also edged up by 15-20 percent after one year of operation. Other companies like HNT ViNa, Nissin Manufacturing Vietnam, Seyong INC and Midori Apparel Vietnam in the Luong Son Industrial Park, and Sankoh at Bo Trai Song Sa (Da River Left Bank) Industrial Park have also contributed to revenues, export, job generation and State budget in Hoa Binh.

Besides, many other businesses have shown their interest in investment projects at local industrial parks. The Mong Hoa Industrial Park alone has attracted four more projects, including a 250 billion VND fruit juice project, a 150 billion VND plywood project, a 100 billion VND project producing medical equipment and a fertilizer project worth 25 billion VND.

To date, the provincial industrial parks are home to 72 projects, including 22 foreign direct investment (FDI) projects with a total capital of 438.4 million USD and 50 domestic projects valued at nearly 7.6 trillion VND. Of those 45 projects have been put into operation, generating jobs for 16,230 workers, of whom nearly 90 percent are local people.

Hoa Binh province is expected to fulfill its targets of industrial park development set for 2017. Those regarding project attraction and job generation are hoped to be surpassed.

Rich and Flavorful Honey of Dao Village

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.

Lac Thuy district prioritises resources for industrial, handicraft development

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.

Phu Thanh implements organic practices in tea production

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.

Hoa Binh works hard to accelerate progress of key projects

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 achieves record-breaking economic growth in Q1

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.

Hoa Binh focuses on building strong OCOP brands for sustainable growth

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.
