(HBO) – The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee targeted 1.437 billion USD in exports and 1.097 billion USD in imports this year. Since the start of 2022, the administration has ordered relevant departments, sectors, and localities to jointly work to tackle difficulties and facilitate trading activities.
A garment factory in Tan Lac district has provided jobs for
about 200 workers and considerably contributed to the province’s export value.
Hoa Binh has been working to fully capitalise on
free trade agreements and expand export markets so as to boost overseas
shipments, especially the commodities with high added value. Efforts are also
being made to attract investment to developing logistics services and
infrastructure so as to improve export and import efficiency. In addition, the province
is stepping up the implementation of a project on developing export markets for
local key agricultural products for 2021 - 2025, with a vision to 2030.
In February, Hoa Binh recorded about 112.91
million USD in exports and 91.24 million USD in imports, respectively rising
2.13 percent and 2.9 percent month on month. That raised the respective
two-month figures to 223.47 million USD and 179.92 million USD, up 15.83
percent and 15.34 percent year on year, and equivalent to 15.55 percent and
16.4 percent of this year’s respective targets./.
Kudzu powder product of Nhuan Trach agricultural services and starch processing cooperative in Dong Se hamlet, Nhuan Trạch commune, Luong Son district was certified as meeting One Commune One Product (OCOP)’s 3-star standard last year. For local residents, kudzu is a crop that helped them improve income, alleviate hunger and reduce poverty. The certification of the product is a prerequisite for local households to continue their production and expand their market.
Yen Thuy district has effectively implemented a project to support the construction of model new-style rural residential areas and gardens under the national target programme on new-style rural area building for 2021-2025.
With favourable climate and land advantages, the agriculture sector in Hoa Binh has been attracting investment from enterprises, organisations, and cooperatives, gradually asserting the position of some local specialties in the international market.
Currently, Luong Son district counts 905 business establishments operating in industry and handicraft, helping generate jobs and stable incomes for local labourers.
Hoa Binh scored the highest points in two out of the eight indicators of the Public Administrative Reform (PAR) Index ranking in 2023 that the Ministry of Home Affairs announced on April 17.
