(HBO) – The implementation of major transport projects in Hoa Binh is being sped up, which is expected to help the locality optimise its potential, attract more investment and promote economic structure transformation.
A section of Road 435 in
Liem hamlet, Suoi Hoa commune, Tan Lac district, is being cemented.
When
the Lunar New Year is approaching, workers, engineers, investors, contractors
and other relevant sides of the Trang (White) Bridge project in Hoa Binh city
is working hard to ensure the project’s progress.
Engineer
Nguyen Huy Anh said the Trang Bridge is one of the projects celebrating the 17thprovincial Party Congress. The bridge, measuring 25m in length and 24m in
width, replaces the old one and is set to help deal with "hot spots” on
National Highway 6. The construction of the entire project is scheduled to be
completed in June 2020. Part of the bridge will be put into service ahead of
the traditional New Year.
On
these days, Road 435’s Tan Lac-Cao Phong section has been turned into a vast
construction site where machines, equipment and workforce are maximised for the
construction.
Nguyen
Manh Tuan, Deputy Director of the project’s management board, said under the
project, many sections will be expanded and upgraded, opening up opportunities
for the province to attract more investments in Hoa Binh Lake.
The
management board has kept a close watch on the construction and joined hands
with consultant and supervision units to instruct contractors to ensure the
project’s progress and quality, he said.
The
constructors were also required to implement solutions in order to ensure
traffic for locals and visitors to Hoa Binh Lake, while focusing on removing
difficulties to accelerate the construction of Road 435’s Hoa Binh city-Cao
Phong district section that spans 10.2 km and is scheduled to be put into operation
in August 2020.
Efforts
have also been made to push ahead with the construction of other transport
projects like Hoa Binh Bridge 2, the road connecting National Highway 2 and
extended Chi Lang Road and other major routes in Hoa Binh city and
localities./.
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.
