The province recorded average annual growth of
6.31 percent between 2016 and 2020, the size of the local economy was expanded
from 36.85 trillion VND in 2016 to 51.96 trillion VND (nearly 2.3 billion USD
at the current exchange rate) in 2020, and per capita gross regional domestic
product (GRDP) reached 60.3 million VND last year. The local economy has seen
expanding industry and service sectors and had its dependence on natural
resources gradually reduced.
During the period, agriculture grew by some 3.98
percent, a pace almost doubling the national average, making Hoa Binh one of
the best performers in this regard in the northern mountainous region.
Outstanding outcomes have been achieved in building new-style countryside, with
55 of the 129 communes and three of the 10 district-level localities recognised
as new-style rural areas, and 12 communes meeting advanced standards.
The growth quality in many aspects has been
promoted, with science - technology making more contributions, labour
productivity rising 10.38 percent annually on average, and investment capital
used more effectively, and the total factor productivity making up about 27.02
percent of local growth.
Meanwhile, the province’s intellectual property
development programme has helped boost the registration for industrial and
intellectual property rights over many products. It has assisted businesses and
people to commercialise and enhance the competitiveness of local specialties.
Hoa Binh has also effectively managed and used
resources for infrastructure building and socio-economic development. A number
of structures have been put into operation, helping attract investment to
eco-tourism, urban development, industry, and trade. Many projects have proved
useful for facilitating production and improving people’s living standards.
However, the Standing Board of the provincial
Party Committee admitted that apart from achievements, there remain certain
shortcomings and weaknesses in the economic restructuring and growth model
reform process.
To maintain achievements, address shortcomings,
and continue implementing the resolutions of the Party Central Committee and
the provincial Party organisation, the Standing Board of the provincial Party
Committee has ordered the building of a resolution on economic restructuring
and growth model reform so that the local economy will be on par with the
national average.
Ngo Van Tuan, member of the Party Central
Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, stressed that the
Standing Board’s resolution must aim at successfully implementing the
resolution of the 17th provincial Party Congress and match the local reality.
It needs to clarify resources, assign detailed tasks, and orient the 2021 -
2025 economic development towards turning agriculture into the foundation,
industry into the breakthrough, and tourism into the spearhead sector./.
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.
