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.
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.
