(HBO) - With the consistent stance of accompanying the development of investors, Hoa Binh province is implementing specific measures to improve the business environment, and provide practical support for enterprises and investors in researching and carrying out investment projects in the fields of eco-tourism, agriculture and industry associated with urban development.
Over the past years, Hoa Lac - Hoa Binh road has made an important contribution
to the province’s investment attraction.
The province has drastically directed many
solutions to improve the business environment, with focus on administrative
reform to increase the validity and effectiveness of the State management
apparatus; paid attention to building an administration which always
accompanies enterprises in order to maximise resources for investment in
development; and actively worked with ministries, sectors and agencies to take
advantage of their support in investment-related mechanisms and policies.
In addition, Hoa Binh has directed to cut 30% of
the time to handle administrative procedures and improve the role of the Centre
for Trade, Investment and Tourism Promotion. It has regularly met and held
dialogue with investors to help them remove difficulties and obstacles in
implementing projects; strengthened inspection and supervision and strict handled
any cases that cause troubles and harassment in the implementation of
administrative procedures related to enterprises and investors towards the goal
of creating substantive changes in the business environment. The province has
directed to review and revoke slow-progress projects to attract competent
investors that are suitable to the province's investment attraction criteria;
and prioritised investment in fields and areas to serve socio-economic
development.
With its potential and advantages and efforts by
local authorities to support investors, the province has seen great progress in
investment attraction. In 2022, Hoa Binh approved the investment of 75 domestic
projects with a total registered capital of about 35 trillion VND (1.47 billion
USD). Compared to the previous year, the number of licensed projects increased
by 31 projects, and the capital was equal to 102.2%.
To date, the province has attracted 729
projects, of which there are 37 foreign-invested ones totaling 608 million USD,
and 692 domestic ones totalling about 183 trillion VND. Local industrial zones
currently have 105 licensed investment projects, including 25 foreign-invested
ones with a total registered capital of 518.9 million USD, and 80 domestic ones
totaling nearly 14 trillion VND./.
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.
