(HBO) - The Party Committee and People’s Committee of the northwestern province of Hoa Binh have over the years strived to improve investment and business climate in a clear and transparent manner, and revised administrative procedures in investment, construction, land use and business registration for investment attraction.
The Vietnam Fragrances Company based at the
Luong Son Industrial Park (IP) in Hoa Binh specialises in toothpick exports to
India, which raises the province’s export values.
The province has drawn
211 investment projects since 2017, including 17 foreign-invested ones.
At present, there are 580 projects in Hoa Binh, of which 540 are domestic with
registered capital totaling over 84.74 trillion VND (3.67 billion USD) and 40
FDI projects worth 575.4 million USD.
The province’s IPs
currently house 95 licensed projects, comprising of 24 foreign-invested of
499.85 million USD and 71 domestic worth nearly 7.27 trillion VND.
As many as 55 projects
have come on stream, creating stable jobs for approximately 20,000 workers./.
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.
