During a working session with the Vietnamese Consulate General in Frankfurt,

advantages, majestic natural landscapes, unique cultural identity, and pristine
environment as key attractions for sightseeing and business opportunities.
He expressed a desire for the Consulate General's support in
establishing cooperative relationships with German firms and investors, calling
for investments in diverse sectors such as industry, tourism, healthcare,
education, and high-tech agriculture.
Vietnamese Consul General in Frankfurt Luu Xuan Dong expressed
readiness to assist the province in promotional activities and investment
facilitation, and showcasing potential strengths and key products to German
businesses and investors. He also vowed to connect investors suitable with the
province's potential for future collaboration.
The same day, the delegation engaged in discussions with the
Frankfurt Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK), manufacturing companies
specialising in mechanical products and environmental treatment.
The IHK affirmed willingness to serve as a bridge to introduce,
popularise and facilitate investment exchanges between German businesses and
Vietnamese localities, especially in fields of Germany's strengths such as
renewable energy, quality tourism, processing industry, high-tech agriculture,
and quality human resources training.
On the occasion, the delegation also explored practical

organic waste management at Aqseptence Technology Group. They gained insights
into laser technology, artificial intelligence, mobility solutions, and sensors

Frankfurt.
According to data from the Hoa Binh Provincial Party Committee, the industrial production index for the first six months of 2025 is estimated to have increased by 20% compared to the same period last year. This marks the highest year-on-year growth rate for this period since 2020.
In the first six months of 2025, Hoa Binh province’s export turnover was estimated at 1.145 billion USD, marking an 18.11% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Import turnover was estimated at $ 804 million, a 17.15% increase, which helped the province maintain a positive trade balance.
The lives of the ethnic minority farmers in Tan Lac district have gradually improved thanks to the new directions in agricultural production. This is a testament to the collective strength fostered through the professional associations and groups implemented by various levels of the district’s Farmers’ Union.
With the motto the "product quality comes first,” after nearly one year of establishment and operation, Muong village’s Clean Food Agricultural and Commercial Cooperative, located in Cau Hamlet, Hung Son Commune (Kim Boi district), has launched reputable, high-quality agricultural products to the market that are well-received by consumers. The products such as Muong village’s pork sausage, salt-cured chicken, and salt-cured pork hocks have gradually carved out a place in the market and they are on the path to obtaining the OCOP certification.
In the past, the phrase "bumper harvest, rock-bottom prices" was a familiar refrain for Vietnamese farmers engaged in fragmented, small-scale agriculture. But today, a new spirit is emerging across rural areas of Hoa Binh province - one of collaboration, organisation, and collective economic models that provide a stable foundation for production.
Maintaining growing area codes and packing facility codes in accordance with regulations is a mandatory requirement for agricultural products to be eligible for export. Recently, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Hoa Binh province has intensified technical supervision of designated farming areas and packing facilities to safeguard the "green passport" that enables its products to access international markets.
