A project to build the Cuoi Ha ecological urban and entertainment area and cable car system in Kim Boi and Cuoi Ha communes is one of the two major projects of Hoa Binh in Kim Boi district. Currently, the local administration is working to speed up ground clearance for the project and the construction of resettlement areas for affected people, thus supporting the investor in implementing the project.
Kim Boi district’s Land Fund Development Centre makes land inventory and assessment in Coc Lam village, Cuoi Ha commune.
The project is invested by Sun Hoa Binh Limited Liability Company with a total capital of about 6.65 trillion VND (261.6 million USD). Covering 189.01 hectares, the project is capable of hosting 10,900 people.
On August 20, 2024, the People’s Committee of Kim Boi district issued a notice on land recovery for the project’s implementation. From August 28, the district’s Land Fund Development Centre started to conduct measurement of land areas and counting of assets on land. To date, 60.92 hectares of land of 368 households have been counted. Kim Boi district has set up working teams to conduct communications activities to call for local officials and residents’ support to the project.
According to Quach Van Mau, head of residential area No.2 in Coc Lam village, Kim Boi commune said that the village has 449 households, most of them affected by the project. About 90% of the farming land is likely to be acquired for the project. Locals were worried about their future livelihoods. However, after receiving explanations from local officials, they have actively engaged in land clearance for the project.
Bui Thanh Ha, Deputy Director of the district’s Land Fund Development Centre said that site clearance work is facing many difficulties, especially regarding compensation due to the differences in farming land prices in different communes. Currently, the investor is coordinating with relevant agencies to build resettlement areas, schools and cemeteries.
Meanwhile, Kim Boi district has proposed Hoa Binh province to build a new land price range to replace the old one to deal with this issue. Recently, the provincial Steering Committee for major projects has assigned Kim Boi and Lac Son districts to speed up ground clearance for the project and complete the work by October 30. The localities were asked to step up the construction of resettlement areas and announce their planning schemes and encourage local people to give space for the project.
Meanwhile, Sun Hoa Binh was requested to expand roads to local cemeteries, and help affected locals with vocational training and employment. The firm is expected to start construction of the project within 2024.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
