(HBO) – After the two-year implementation of the District and Department Competitiveness Index (DDCI), there have been changes in the mindset and actions of all-level authorities, agencies and businesses.
At the conference announcing results of the 2022 DDCI.
Yen Thuy district has taken specific measures to improve the local investment
and business environment, focusing on reforming administrative procedures and
consolidating the apparatus to better serve enterprises and people.
The district has assigned officials to accelerate administrative reform and
help firms and people remove difficulties in production and business. Last
year, it gained 85.54/100 points, ranking second in the DDCI for the second
time.
Vice Chairman of the district People’s Committee Bui Huyen said all of the
administrative procedures at both commune and district levels have been
upgraded regularly in line with regulations. Last year, Yen Thuy completed all
of the 17 set criteria.
According a survey which was conducted by Economica Vietnam and the provincial
business association randomly among 26 departments, agencies, districts and Hoa
Binh city, the management board of industrial parks in Hoa Binh province ranked
first with 80.04 points. It was followed by the provincial Social Security with
78.58 points, and the Department of Planning and Investment, 77.94 points.
The average DDCI of the departments and districts rose by 2.26 points to 77.8
points.
Vice Chairman of the provincial business association Ha Trung Nguyen said the
index has created a push for departments, districts and localities to fulfill
their tasks./.
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.
