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.
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.
