(HBO) – The COVID-19 pandemic has been put under control in Vietnam and countries have gradually reopened their economies. Therefore, export-import activities have recovered.
Son Thuy JSC in Mong Hoa
commune (Hoa Binh city), specilising in woodwork production for export to China,
has contributed to raising Hoa Binh province’s export value.
The
provincial People’s Committee reported that Hoa Binh’s export revenue was
estimated at nearly 48.5 million USD in May, up 32.5 percent from the previous
month.
In
the first five months of this year, the figure stood at some 225 million USD, a
year-on-year decrease of 26.27 percent, fulfilling 21.79 percent of the yearly
target.
Goods
export revenue was close to 46 million USD last month, up 32.94 percent against
April, and 211.1 million USD in the January-May period.
Meanwhile,
the service sector pocketed 2.5 million USD in May, a month-on-month increase
of 25 percent, and 13.8 million USD in the five months.
Hoa
Binh’s import value was estimated at 44.5 million USD in May, up 34.85 percent
month-on-month. However, the figure dropped by 15.92 percent to only 198.1
million USD in the five months, completing 22.65 percent of the yearly
target./.
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.
