(HBO) – The Hoa Binh provincial Construction Department on December 26 organised a conference to review its performance in 2022 and roll out tasks for 2023.
Deputy Chairman of the Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Chuong attended the conference.
Collectives and individuals awarded certificates of merit for their outstanding performance in 2022.
In 2022, the department appraised the economic-technical report and construction designs, and constructed 105 works. It issued acceptance documents for 288 works and four decisions on sanctioning administrative violations relating to construction activities with a total fines of 180 million VND (7,600 USD).
The province’s urbanisation rate in 2022 is estimated at 33.42%.
However, the rate of construction planning in the province is still low, and the consultation to develop a plan for building materials in the province still faces difficulties and obstacles.
Speaking at the conference, Nguyen Van Chuong, Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, highly valued the construction department’s performance in 2022.
He asked the sector to continue to coordinate with localities in construction inspections, management, and the real estate market.
They were also asked to develop architectural space and urban landscape in combination with the preservation of Hoa Binh's cultural identity.
On this occasion, the Construction Department awarded certificates of merit to 10 collectives and 10 individuals with outstanding performance in 2022./.
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.
