Last
year, the business association successfully maintained its crucial role as a
bridge between the business community and local authorities. The organisation
effectively represented enterprise interests while facilitating social oversight
and feedback. It consistently gathered and channeled business concerns
regarding operational challenges to relevant provincial authorities for
resolution.
Along
with joining hands with competent sides to carry out support programmes for
enterprises as well as those to improve the provincial competitiveness index
(PCI), the association paid due attention to charitable activities. It
mobilised more than 3.29 billion VND (130,600 USD) for a Tet gifting programme
for impoverished people, supported housing construction for the needy, and
sponsored various cultural and social events across the province.
Looking
ahead to 2025, the association aims to strengthen member organisations'
effectiveness, enhance business operation, and forge strongr relationships with
state management agencies. It will work to streamline administrative procedures
and engage in social welfare initiatives.

At
the event, Hinh commended the association's achievements and urged continued
efforts to support the business community in seizing new opportunities and
improving the local PCI ranking. He also underscored the need to maintain
charitable activities and contribute to the province's socio-economic
development goals in 2025.
Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
