Hoa Binh is implementing a series of solutions in order to early start work on and finish important projects, focusing on accelerating the progress of site clearance, resettlement construction, conversion of forest and rice land, and implementing related procedures in accordance with regulations. The province is developing a detailed plan to remove difficulties for each project to realise the goal of capital disbursement. The effectiveness of directing investment projects has been made a criterion to evaluate the performance of agencies, units and their heads.

Accordingly, Hoa Binh is focusing on 14 key projects. This year, it aims to start construction of the second phase of the Hoa Lac - Hoa Binh road and the Hoa Binh - Moc Chau (Son La) expressway; and complete the infrastructure of Yen Quang, Binh Phu, Nhuan Trach and Lac Thinh industrial parks (IPs) and some industrial clusters.
To date, construction has started on three out of six projects funded by public investment, including the road linking the Hoa Binh - Hanoi region with the Hoa Binh - Moc Chau expressway, the road connecting Luong Son town with Xuan Mai (Hanoi), and the one linking Tran Hung Dao street to Dan Chu ward, Hoa Binh city and the National Highway 6. Work has also begun on two out of eight projects not using the State budget, namely the Huong Binh cable car line in Phu Nghia commune, and the Xuan Thien Hoa Binh cement and light powder production project, both in Lac Thuy district.
With the spirit of building a detailed plan to remove difficulties for each job and each project to focus on directing and completing the set progress, the province has paid attention to directing key projects to start construction soon, thus creating confidence for investors, and creating strong momentum for socio-economic development of the province.
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.
