(HBO) – The Hoa Binh provincial Department of Industry and Trade held a working session with People’s Committee of Da Bac district on November 12 morning to discuss the progress of building local infrastructure in industrial park (IP) cluster in the locality.
The Department of Industry and Trade inspects
investment in IP cluster infrastructure in Da Bac district.
The Da Bac IP complex
covers an area of 27.72 ha, with the goal of becoming a multi-sectoral
industrial and handicraft cluster. Major industries include steel billets,
apparel, textile, animal feed processing, handicraft production, forestry
processing, construction material areas. The total investment is estimated at
230 billion VND. At present, the new IP cluster investment is only in the stage
of planning. Site clearance has yet to be finished while technical
infrastructure construction also has yet to be started.
Participants at the event called for embarking on investment procedures, paying
compensation for site clearance, devising adjustments to detailed planning and
construction design.
Via inspection, leader of the department emphasised that it is a key project to
generate jobs to local workers in line with the district’s socio-economic
development planning and orientations. In the near future, it is necessary to
speed up construction and accelerate compensation and site clearance. Local
specialised agencies need to help Phuc Thanh urban infrastructure development
JSC complete legal procedures, actively collect data to determine specific land
price adjustment coefficient for calculation of compensation, outline a plan
for land acquisition, investigation and survey, striving to shorten time for
appraisal but ensuring it is in accordance with regulations.
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.
