According to a report presented at the meeting,
Hoa Binh’s gross regional domestic product (GRDP) in the reviewed period
expanded by 8% year-on-year, and its export turnover was estimated at 1.47
million USD, up 20.7% year-on-year. The province welcomed some 3.6 million
tourists, a rise of 7.9% from the same period last year.
Its state budget revenue stood at some 4.8
trillion VND (195.67 million USD), surpassing the Government’s target by 19%,
and fulfilling 83% of the plan set by the provincial People’s Council.
As of the end of July, the province’s capital
disbursement reached 1.16 trillion VND, fulfilling 34% of the target set by the
Government, and 31% of the plan worked out by the People’s Committee.
Progress has also been made in socio-economic
affairs, and national defence-security.
Participants also opined on reports on the
progress of key projects, and pointed to obstacles to local socio-economic
development, notably sluggish land clearance, land crunch, and low
disbursement.
In his remarks, Khanh asked departments,
agencies, and localities to step up coordination in pushing ahead with
investment and land clearance, and pay more heed to disbursement.
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.
