(HBO) – Recently, Luong Son district of Hoa Binh province has continued to improve the investment environment, attracting investors to conduct surveys and make investment proposals.
The district has so far attracted 23 foreign direct investment (FDI) projects with total registered capital of over 307 million USD, accounting for 58.9% of the total projects and 49.8% of the registered capital of the province.
In addition, there have been 183 domestic investment projects worth over 31 trillion VND (1.2 billion USD), accounting for 29.2% of the province's projects and 28.8% of its registered capital.
In the first nine months of this year, local authorities gave in-principle approval to two projects with total capital of over 6 trillion VND.
In the reviewed period, the estimated value of industrial and handicraft products of the district reached 73.09% of the 2023 plan, which are valued at about 19.4 trillion VND, up 19.67% over the same period last year.
The district's total export value was estimated to hit 457 million USD, which is equivalent to 62.6% of the year's plan, a year-on-year increase of 15.4%.
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.
