implementing investment projects are identified as one of the solutions to
promote the province's sustainable economic growth.
The province's economic growth model has developed mainly extensively and the
quality of growth, unsustainable in recent years. The total factor productivity
(TFP) reached only 25.77 percent in 2020. The number of newly-established
enterprises and cooperatives per year is still modest. The allocation of
investment is not adequate and the collection of state budget unstable.
The provincial People's Committee blamed the problems on the limited capacity
in renovating its growth model in association with economic restructuring,
saying that the investment environment is not attractive enough and the quality
of human resources has not yet met the development’s demands.
2022 is an important year that lays the foundation for implementing the goals
of the 5-year Socio-Economic Development Plan for 2021-2025. Thus, a growth
rate of 9 percent should be obtained this year, according to the provincial
People's Committee.
To achieve the goal, it is necessary to continue restructuring the economy,
renovating the growth model and improve productivity, and creating momentum for
rapid and sustainable development.
Ngo Van Tuan, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, said challenges lie
ahead as its gross regional domestic product grew 2.66 percent last year.
He said agencies are authorised to finalise plans aimed at
achieving an economic growth of 9 percent right at the beginning of this year,
adding that individuals have to bear the responsibilities in management
relating to projects that are at a standstill or the resettlement for residents
whose land are revoked during the land clearance process.
Attention will be paid to the disbursement of public investment
to ensure economic growth, he said. The focus will be on the implementation of
key projects as well as state budget collection.
Department, agencies and districts were asked to carry out a project on
restructuring the economy in association with renovating growth models. It is
anticipated that the province will reach the national average growth rate by
2025.
Bui Van Khanh, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, said that
investment is a must to achieve the growth targets, and that is why the
province will concentrate on creating breakthroughs in infrastructure, human
resources and investment attraction areas./.
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.
