(HBO) – The index of industrial production in Hoa Binh province grew by around 9.5 percent in the first quarter compared to the same period last year, according to the provincial People’s Committee.
The industrial production value during the
period was estimated at more than 9.7 trillion VND (421.1 million USD), up 16
percent year on year.
In particular, the processing and manufacturing industry has
gradually recovered. The production of its beer and beverages, which are among
the industry’s key products, increased by some 6.49 percent, steel and metal
products up 10.64 percent, and cement rose 3.82 percent.
Thanks to new machinery and equipment, the An Phuc
Export Garment Company, based in Hang Tram town of Yen Thuy district, has
improved its productivity and provided stable jobs for local workers.
In terms of electricity generation and
distribution, the three-month power output surpassed 1.83 billion kWh,
equivalent to nearly 19 percent of this year’s target and up 66.3 percent year
on year. Meanwhile, the commercial electricity output was about 265.61 million
kWh, equivalent to 25.25 percent of the annual target and up 23 percent.
Besides, the mining industry maintained stable growth,
with the stone and ore mining output rising 2.8 percent and 0.68 percent from a
year earlier, respectively./.
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.
