(HBO) - In 2019, Hoa Binh province has continued to intensify investment promotion activities, enhance coordination in handling administrative procedures and implement measures to improve the business environment and remove difficulties for enterprises and investors.
The Midori Apparel
Vietnam Ltd Co (at Luong Son industrial park) reported effective production and
business results, contributing to the province’s export value in 2019.
During the year, the province approved investment
proposals and granted investment licences to 59 projects, including four
foreign direct investment (FDI) projects with total registered capital of 24.5
million USD. The remaining 55 projects are invested by domestic investors, with
total registered capital of 3,982 billion VND. The number of projects was down
by one project, while the amount of capital was equivalent to 39 percent
compared to the same period last year.
At the same time, the province withdrew the
licences of 42 projects (6 FDI and 36 domestic ones).
On aggregate, Hoa Binh is home to 567 projects,
comprising 38 FDI projects with total capital of 568 million USD and 529
domestic projects valued at around 68,982 billion VND./.
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.
