(HBO) – The Hoa Binh People’s Committee on January 7 organised a regular meeting to discuss the province’s socio-economic development and its governance. The meeting was chaired by Bui Van Khanh, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party’s Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee.

According to reports delivered at the event, site clearance in a number of major projects lagged behind schedules set by the chairman of the provincial People’s Committee while many commercial housing projects saw slow progress. The pace of public investment disbursement also failed to meet expectation. By December 20, 2021, Hoa Binh had disbursed nearly 2.55 trillion VND, equivalent to 73 percent of the yearly plan set by the Prime Minister and 67 percent of that set by the People’s Committee.
In January 2022, the People’s Committee requested its units to strengthen supervision of public administration reforms, and progress and effectiveness of duty performances; and to accelerate public investment disbursement. The province aims to disburse 100 percent of the public investment by the end of this month.
Concluding the event, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh asked departments and local administrations to give the highest priority to public investment disbursement to fulfill the goal by the end of January.
They must also pay more attention to completing site clearance, particularly in key projects, he said, adding that specific deadlines must be assigned for each project to achieve highest results in order to boost the province’s socio-economic development.
As the province’s daily caseload of COVID-19 exceeds 100, including many community infections, Khanh ordered districts and communes to better raise public awareness of the importance of adherence to the pandemic rules. They must also keep records of unvaccinated residents so as to quickly increase the vaccination coverage, he stressed./.
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.
