The congress was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Le Quoc Phong, and more than 700 delegates representing nearly 10,000 association members from across the country.

The participants reviewed the operation of the VYEA over the previous tenure, during which they affirmed that the association has maintained its role as one of the country’s largest business associations.

During the 2018-2021 tenure, the association intends to improve its operation at all levels with improved efficiency and professionalism, while actively participating in the creation of draft laws related to economics, the rights of economic components, start-up activities, and the fourth industrial revolution.

On the afternoon of the same day, the VYEA, in coordination with the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee, held a ceremony to honour 68 excellent young start-up entrepreneurs of 2018.

These 68 businesspeople were selected out of hundreds of nominees from across the country through three rounds of selection.

In 2017, the 68 entrepreneurs were responsible for the generation of VND2.865 trillion (US$123.19 million) in revenue and VND 147 billion (US$6.32 million) in profit, contributing VND 91 billion (US$3.91 million) to the State budget, and creating 4,100 jobs.

Rich and Flavorful Honey of Dao Village

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.

Lac Thuy district prioritises resources for industrial, handicraft development

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.

Phu Thanh implements organic practices in tea production

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.

Hoa Binh works hard to accelerate progress of key projects

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 achieves record-breaking economic growth in Q1

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.

Hoa Binh focuses on building strong OCOP brands for sustainable growth

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.
